Last update for a while.

It's been 4 weeks since surgery. I am still on Valium, Norco, and Robaxin for the most part, and high does. I'm usually alternating doses. (Benzios are very bad).This past weekend was my last dose of steroids. The pain is not bad. It is the muscle spasms that are unbelievably bad. Most of that is in my rear neck muscles. The next 4 weeks is to slowly wean off of those.

I have no limited movement except those back shoulders. The closet I got to guitar was to pick up a 7.5 lb strat and move it from one stand to one closer to me for comfort. This is very depressive, but I watch a lot of youtube and study. I want to play guitar so bad! I still have not driven a car and my wife makes sure to hit every crack and bump on the way to the doctors. Probably the best way to learn F-Chords fast. Humor is keeping me going. And I appreciate DonPetersen patience through this time!

Rumors are my neurosurgeon did something similar to a President whose name rhymes with Bush. Dec 31 is when I will get the latest x-ray images.

I keep forgetting what the doctors tell me but my best understanding is that I had a 3-level (front) anterior fusion plates, screws, and spacers, and a posterior (rear) 4-level laminectomy with nuts, bolts, rods and cages. I was lucky enough to have extra bone in my shoulders to do the graphs.

I was in traction during the surgery, and still have the holes to prove it. Surgery was about 6 hours long and had a tracheotomy about 4 hours. The man who invented ice cream needs to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame.

I hope to write my next song for the New Year. I think it's a goal I might reach.

I finished this particular song below just days before my surgery, and I know many of you have heard it already. The most special part was my doctor took the time to listen to many songs I posted on Soundcloud and asked to do a collab (piano) with me and his friend (vocalist). He could have just been blowing smoke up my arse, but nevertheless, It has a special meaning for me. Thanks to all of you once again for your well wishes. This was a hard moment in my life. Writing about my surgery helps me cope.

All Kemper tones.

you all are getting to be pros taking these pictures. it's like Xmas time! Call it the Player Tree decoration. Almost wants me to get one, but If I find out A. I. is involved then forgetaboutit.

I hope it's resolved quickly.

Xmas is sneaking up fast so I'm hoping for a flood of assorted pics!

This is highly irregular and I would open a ticket. Sweetwater is also not known for free extended warranties on products with higher than normal failure rates. Something really beyond the common functionality is going on.

Whoa! Sounds like great compromise to me!

Be careful with "un-guitar" tones, Mats. They are the work of the Devil A.I.

I must have too much biotin and it drives me crazy that you can bite your nails down to nothing and I need a manicure set. The Static cling sheet powder gets on everything and everywhere. I hate it. I'm at a lost as was else to do.. Only other option is to remove and not use plastic pickguards at all.

Yesterday was a wonderful belated Thanksgiving with my family! Today was a setback which I am am expected to have a few of those. Nonetheless, "This World" caught the spirit of the weekend.. Thank you!

A USB Backup drive and a piece of bubble gum? You're welcome.

I've narrowed down my selection of instrument cables a few years go to the Fender A2Q323. I have never came across anything better yet. I know USB cables are far from being equals.

Maybe we can set up a poll for users to give input??

I'm still being spammed and it's 1.5 hours past midnite. May the madness end!

Hm I'm not sure about that. On windows you need it play with things like asio4all and that is very unstable for quite a few people including me, and not worth the time. The easiest way to listen to a USB reamp is to leave your Kemper connected to your existing interface still.

I did it using a proprietary ASIO. I guess a tutorial is coming out soon. Remind me please.

You can set up your Daw to output to more than just 2 channels at a time. Simple google search for a particular Daw shows you how.

Which Option works better?

I hate to say it but the ones that uses your ears. Your ears are the true test.

where can i download this profiles?

The post says "free" so they should be available to all on Rig Exchange. Start by searching "REVV".

A few members on here told me to just quickly switch to the next profile down the list. That seems to work very well and get you out of ear boredom.

Sample rates and round time latency matters to me.

I believe Kemper would rather handle these things internally. Last time I ever got a message like this I just did a Chicken knob off and on and was back up in full swing.

No complaints thus far from me, And I am starting to hate the Black Friday email spams from everyone under the sun.
