Didn't Kossoff play a Super Bass? I know he played a "black flag" JTM 45/100 in the early days of Free but got most famous for the use of a Super Bass' and matching Cabs (100 Watt 4x12" w/t G12H30 55Hz). But I agree though, a selection of legendary vintage Marshalls would definitely make me buy a Kemper (well I will buy it eventually anyway). There are many fine boutique amps already profiled but some legendary items are missing that I would like to see:In no particular order:
- JTM 45 Bluesbreaker 2x12" Combo. Sure we have the amp but we don't have the cab with the Alnico Celestions and the very distinctive sound
- Marshall JTM 45/100 "black flag" (early Kossoff, Hendrix, The Who)
- Marshall Super Lead/ Super Bass '67, 10.000 serial number range (Cream and later Kossoff)
- The same as above but from the later '68, 12.000 range (van Halen brownsound, those had crunchier gain, more aggressive)
- Selmer Treble and Bass 50 (this was a secret weapon studio amp and is heard on more records than we know. Also allegedly used by Kossoff for the "Allright now" solo)
- Supro Thunderbolt (made famous by Jimmy Page "Stairway to heaven" but was used a lot by Hendrix as well)
- Supro Coronado modded with 12" speaker - this is an alternative opinion on what is supposed to be the "Stairway to heaven" amp. The LZ-Police doesn't seem to be sure about that one
- Magnatone Tonemaster (made famous by an internet hype on youtube
- seriously: Phil X gets great sounds out of it and that guy knows what he's doing) also the amp of Buddy Holly- Boogie MK IIb/c clean and crunch This is the sound of Keith Richards in the 70s and 80s and also Bruce Springsteens main amp on stage. (I find it odd to have the MK IV as a stock profile since IMHO it is Boogies least desirable piece of all amps). Also the 80s Dire Straits amp
- brownface Vibrolux (early Dire Straits)
- tweed Deluxe (early ZZ Top and modern Clapton)
- tweed Twin
- Dumble Overdrive Special - I personally never cared about that sound, but many people consider it the holy grail, so there must be something to them.
- Trainwreck Express and Liverpool - I personally never cared about their sound either, but as much a holy grail as the Dumble
- Hiwatt DR-103 (later The Who and David Gilmour, also Gabriel-era Genesis) Those are very clean and bright amps that are great for using pedals - just like Gilmour did throughout his career
I would also like to see the Marshalls profiled with a proper vintage 1960 cab with pre-Rola G12M25 and/or G12H30 and with ribbon mics if possible. Vintage 30s miked with SM57s are not bad at all but now since everybody and his neighbour are getting back to Greenbacks (thanks to the Scumback hype) having that sound in the KPA wouldn't hurt.
Anyway, I'm sure before I even get my KPA there will be user profiles of all those amps already which is the greatest thing about the Kemper.
My KPAshould arrive today and when things settle a bit, as I have a heavy gig schedule to cover, I will profile some of the ones you mention. Old 4X12 pre Rola cabs are not a problem. At least one of the Tweeds, '71 Dr103 Hiwatt with original Fane loaded cabs, no problem, Liverpool - yes, Songwriter - yes, Early Ken Fischer voiced Komet - yes, Express - maybe. 45/50/100 watt Plexis - yes.

[Blocked Image: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p308/1fastdog/Tweeds.jpg]There's others and it just comes down to time, I have good friends with interesting amp collections. These photos are just a portion of one of the collections... Some of these used to be mine, so it would be nice to revisit them and have them profiles.

Dang it! You just made me drool all over my computer

Well, at least I've bought the KPA a few days ago.....
but would like Joe Bonamassa profiling his (most expensive) 4 channel Amp Rig at his scoopy settings.
And a profile of Kossoffs SLs with his pimped Cabs would be cool too.....
Joe is gonna strip down his rig I read on his forum ... his pedalboard is already slimmed down
