No more digital GAS - 5 Years of Kemper

Armin · Jul 15th 2016

5 years ago I decided that I wanted to get a Kemper - and ordered it online.

It should take until December 29, 2011 when I got mine - and while I tried all available digital stuff before - after this all the digital GAS was gone.
(ok - I ordered the rack version later too).

Belive me I tried hard before to get a decent tube sound out of any digital stuff available.
Starting with the Korg A3
The first POD's
Even owned the big digital amps (Line6Vetta and H&K Zentera)
...
but was only satisfied after getting the KPA.

And it gets better and better from version to version.

Tell us you story!

I remember those pods back 10 years ago. The first time I plugged my headphones in and was changing presets I was blown away, it was like a prime Pamela Anderson presented herself to me and it was all mine for the taking.

Digital GAS gone. Tube head GAS up 100%
Kemper is not perfect but way above other digital devices. It's funny when I see people post about a Yamaha THR being competition for the Kemper. It's not even close.

How was the Zentera? Never had one of these but they were top of the line back in 2001.

All the other old boxes I see in your pic I've owned - and most are crap!

The Zenters was the best - by far - liked the AxeFx more - and then all was replaced by the Kemper.

Still love to have GAS for tube amps btw.

And for guitars

Wow, did you keep all the old stuff, @Armin?
Yes, I remember those days, time flies.

No Ingo, I still own most of the guitars.

But sold all digital gear beside the Kemper (incl. the Variax guitars).
