Finally no more lugging around tube amps

Hello everyone.

I have finally taken the plunge. After about one year of research between the Kemper and the only other real competition Fractal.I have chosen to go with the Kemper as a replacement for my three Mesa Boogies(LSS, Single 50 Rect, & Mark V).

I have yet to decide what is to happen with my current boogies but I suspect I may end up keeping them since I hate taking a loss on the resale.Then again there is always my nephew who recently started playing.

For now I am planning for headphone use for at least several months (Grado or Audeze cans will do just fine I would suspect).I will begin the research into the FRFR route after I become a touch more familiar with the Kemper.

Hope this works out the way I think it will from all of my researching.

Thank you to everyone for the welcome.

I should be receiving the Kemper any day now (Just saw the update for Thursday). So hopefully will get some time with it this weekend.

I went ahead and ordered the version without the built in power amp. I know the headphones are not the best way to go, but for now it is the best option without getting shot on the spot for ordering up the FRFR at the same time. Seeing as I recently received a shiny new Mayones I figured this might be the safer way to go.

I have been thinking about the Mesa's and will most likely end up selling them off. This will make the purchase of the (2) powered speakers a much easier sell. All in all I have nothing but praise for every Mesa I have ever owned. However as with all Tube amps it still seemed as though I was making small adjustments all the time due to slight variations in the weather.

I have also decided for the time being I will work with just the Kempers built in effects. Eventually though I may add the FX-8 back into the system since I have so many scenes tweaked to my liking. About the only thing I could not discover was if the Kemper allowed the setting of the built in effects in the pre or post configuration. I know with the (4)cable method with the FX-8 I can definitely do this.
