In the past couple of weeks something as come to my attention. It's just a little thought that's been going round in my head and I thought I'd share it with you guys and get your views opinions.
I was a very early adopter of the kemper and I remember speaking to some big studio engineers/producers who snubbed the KPA. Their opinion was that it was missing something/didn't sound as good as a real amp. Now me being the KPA fan boy that I am, I always defended it. Now what's come to my attention recently is that these big producers/engineers who I very much respect now own/use a kemper in the studio. I find this so funny that they were so convince that the KPA wasn't any good but now they have one. Also I know some big studio engineers/owners get gifts from amp manufacturers and they maybe don't want them to know that they are profiling them etc. This came to light today when I posted a comment on a well respected engineers Instagram page, who I totally respect. I posted "I spot a kemper" on their picture of them recording guitars in the studio, you could tell the kemper was being used as both the input and output light were active, what was strange is that they deleted my comment?? Maybe they don't want people to know they like the KPA, or that they have amp endorsements and don't want to upset these companies either. Either way I think it's interesting that at first they didn't like the KPA but now they are using it and want to still hide the fact. Maybe it's an image thing? I don't know?
