Turns out, Michael Britt is just as awesome as his profiles

Just thought I'd share this with you all today. Mike's band Lonestar is playing in my area tonight (Portland, Maine). I was fortunate enough to spend some time with Mike today, chatting about the Kemper, his gear, etc. We all know his profiles sound awesome. But as it turns out, Mike's personality and generosity are just as awesome. He took a good chunk of his time to chat and never made me feel like I was intruding. Got to watch the band's sound check and hear his profiles in action at a nice live venue. I use almost nothing but his profiles and I think they sound awesome. But man, hearing them through that system, with Mike playing them, they sounded PHENOMENAL. Lonestar sounded great right from the beginning of soundcheck. Afterwards, Mike invited me up to check out his rig and he noted that there are a couple sounds that I heard today which will be in his next rig pack (which I will certainly be purchasing).

Anyway, I know this isn't 100% Kemper related, but figured I'd share it because we all know that Mike has helped many Kemper users get the sound they were looking for with his profiles. And it's always nice to meet pros who are humble and down to earth. I'm looking forward to hearing their show tonight. Thank you again to @lonestargtr!

Can you give a quick review of his live set up if you know it and your opinion. I am curious what he uses to monitor himself onstage..a FRFR like his Xitone model or does he use a guitar cab?

His stage setup is very simple and compact (yet sounds AWESOME). Up front on his board, all he has is the Kemper, a Mission KP1 pedal for wah with the switch disabled, and then another pedal for volume.

In his rack he had his Kemper, a Line 6 unit (can't remember the model) that he uses for some additional effects, and then a Monster power conditioner. I might have missed a thing or two, but that's the bulk of it right there.

For monitoring, he uses a Sennheiser EW300 G3 in-ear system with Sensaphonic in-ear buds. He said he also normally uses his Xitone 1/12 cab for monitoring on stage as he often uses one in-ear in, and one out for more of a live feel that often isn't there when you wear both in-ears. But his Xitone cab shorted out on him the night before. So if I remember correctly, I THINK he's using a QSC K12 in the interim (but I could be wrong on that one).

His guitars are nice. Set up well (as you'd imagine). He had about 4-5 with him, Fenders, Andersons, etc. I really liked one of his strats. The neck felt great, and didn't feel like the baseball bat that some strats feel like to me. Even if they're not necessarily thick, I just have never been a fan of strat necks. But this one felt really nice.

It was really just further confirmation for me that given the right profiles and knowing how to use them (along with the natural ability in your hands), the Kemper sounds just as great as a tube amp live. I loved listening to the guitar in that venue. Mike had his tone dialed in perfectly. There wasn't one song where I thought "oh, that doesn't sound good".
