Finally made the jump to Kemper and Im really impressed so far. Ive had multiple Fractal units and I have the Helix rack right now.
My rig consists of the Helix as the central point, and various valve pre amps that Ive build in the 4 Helix fx loops, running out to a stereo 50w a side Engl poweramp and 2 x EVH 2x12 cabs. Being able to choose any one of my preamps along with the great fx in the helix was almost the perfect rig.
Ive been building amps for a while and this seemed like the prefect way to get multiple amp sounds into my rig without having a head for every sound. Problem is every time I want a new pre amp, Ive got to build it.
I figured the Kemper might fill the need for the new pre amps and only take up one loop from the Helix.......
That brings me to where I am now. I spent the an hour this morning profiling one of my 2 channel pre amps and the results are outstanding. I cant tell the difference between the Kemper and my rack. This will turn my rig on its head as now I can profile my pre amps and sell them on.
I knew what the Kemper was made to do but I didnt think id use the profiling abilities to be honest. This has been a big curve ball and Im loving it.
My pre amp profiles are in the Rig Exchange under MichelleAmps. These are direct made to be played through a valve power amp. Just need to figure out how to remove the cab tag from the profile........they say Cornford 4x12 for some reason but I couldnt figure out where that was so I can delete it.
