Vietnam, of all places, have really stepped up their manufacturing game the past 10 years and are quoted by most US companies right along with China for any new speaker business.
You may even own a couple of MIV items and don't know it.
Another argument for not joining the $1K all-in-one floor unit pond. Once you start getting into the price wars to compete with multiple similar platforms, you almost have to move manufacturing to an Asian country.
So many guitar dudes would lose their minds if they found that they've been playing a China speaker for years without knowing it - because of a pretty magnet label. Even some of the hand wired boutique stuff. The stories I could tell....... But ya, some of the best MI speakers in the world come from China. And have for a lot of years now.
slave factories
You haven't a clue what you are talking about. I've been in the consumer electronics industry for 33 years as a design, manufacturing, and quality engineer. I've worked with China closely for most of it. Been there dozens of times for at least a week each time, sometimes multiple weeks. Spent time in maybe a hundred factories across at least 6 major cities that I can remember right now.
Hopefully the new speaker won't be like Celestion China crap. I'll just go with Eminence if it is.
Crap? Celestion moved the original tooling from England to China and all of the key components are from the original sources - many of which were from Asia to begin with.
With the level of automation involved with many critical steps along the assembly process - correct amounts (weights) of adhesives for example - there's hundreds of factories all over the planet that can put out high quality speakers, and have been for many years now.
Does anyone know if there's high rez artwork of the logo anywhere?
Some confusion has arisen in another thread over where the cabinet is located.
1. cab last in the 'stack' section - per the manual and front panel
2. cab last after 'effects'
3. cab between mod and delay - based on a user test
92 here in San Diego yesterday. AC in the new digs works!
Any inside info on whether the new editor is going to let you get inside of the KPA to do housekeeping of presets? I have a couple hundred IRs I need to delete but will wait if an easy way is coming.
I'm afraid to ask but.....what is that?
The Canadian National late night food in every major city along the northeastern Canada/US border.
Best music store in Toronto for Kemper-ites? Go...
Steve's.
Sorry to kick start an older thread but had to add this for chuckles. Via a video from the great Pete Thorn I just found out two things.
1. Pete owned the 2nd ever BE-100.
2. Back then the company name was 'Marsha' - before it ended up 'Friedman'.
I kid you not.
Those leads are very-well-constructed and contain some tasty bending, man.
The singing ain't too shabby either.
Daniel Gildenlow. 4+ octave range. He's worked with a veritable who's who of Heavy Prog Rock.
Check out the album 'One Hour by a Concrete Lake' crazy good concept disc.
Thanks for the drumming info nakedzen!
Re: Klon
Which one do you profile? Numerous testing through the years have shown that the originals can vary quite a bit from one another. I think that's one of the reasons why none of the various clones have ever stood out over all the rest - same with the original 808/TS9, although since SRV popularized his version of it the majority just seem to want 'that' tone instead of a anything original.
If Kemper tackles it I hope they use a modern KTR as a reference.
I don't know how the drummers in those hyper-speed genres can pull of an entire song, let alone a whole show.
Here's one of my faves hailing from the land of ice and snow.
I run all my tube amps exactly like that
I use the kemper for pre and post amp FX + cab sim.
Every time I dial in a nice tone, I switch to profiling mode and capture it
This is what I wanted to hear. I definitely plan on making DI profiles of the amp - a Friedman PT. I'll post them once I figure out how to do things.
I don't get the idea. You can put KPA in your AMP FX loop also.
I'm jotting down a list of possible uses for any combination of the 3: KPA/Amp/DI-Load box. I've added yours to the list.
LOVE Opeth and that album! Never got into the earlier Cookie Monster vocal stuff but always dug the music.
