Yes Man,
It seems that this is a kind of Old Mans Club.
I,m wondering why it,s missing Clapton?

... too young?
Hahaha!!!
Turning 40 in about 2 months...been playing since what, 1986, so that makes erm...27 years of polluting the world?!
24 been playing since I was 12. Feel a little bit weird being so young and having world class gear. But hey, why the hell not?!

Good for you, man. I wish I had the Kemper when I was in my early 20s! Now is a great time to be a young guitarist!

That's attitude!
39 - but with the power of two hearts
37. 20+ of those years spent playing guitar. Time flies.
20 here
53 soon to be 54, have played since I was 10.

... and have no backache
LOL
On a more serious note, it seems that more mature people
Does it make sense?
LOL
On a more serious note, it seems that more mature people
- have more money to invest in an expensive sound solutions;
- unlike the youngsters, have good memories of that real tube sound and want it (back); but don't want\can't own\store\carry all that tube weight.
Does it make sense?
Makes sense.
Plus: The older I get the less I want to compromise...

It absolutely does.
I'd add also one more aspect about the real sound you obtain when recording and/or playing at "apartment" volume level...
Unless you own or rely on *good* recording studio equipment, in my experience emulation was in the end the best choice to have a decent, if not very good, guitar tone.
Of course the original machines have "the" sound, but especially for older models, it's not that common finding good sounding ones (rattles, hums, speakers, etc...), and moreover it's not always possible to crank them up.
With emulators (both hardware and software) the main drawback I found, especially with cheaper units, was the lack of responsiveness while playing, always feeling a bit "overcompressed", but the emulated sound was way better than the one I had recording in a DIY situation.
With KPA now it seems this aspect has been greatly reduced, so I'm becoming day by day less "tube fundamentalist", and more "emulation possibilist" (or just lazy )

It's not the money. A KPA is quite cheap compared to all the boutique amps and cabs it carries (and some friends of mine stockpile in their "darkroom").
It's the convenience in combination with a great sound.
I still own an AC15 hw heritage, a Suhr Badger, a jtm 45 and a Roadking II, BUT about 90% of the time I simply fire up my Kemper.
Right!
I meant that mature people looking for a digital solution are probably keener to invest in a high-level device
44 only
I am 23
