My name is Hans... Last friday I bought a Kemper profiler, totally unexpected!
Had just found out the address of the guitar store 'Fellowship of the Acoustics' in Dedemsvaart in the Netherlands from a friend...
Being on holiday I seemed to be very close so I visited the shop, discovered the Kemper, played it and was sold!!
So far I had been using Line6 Pod XT and for the last year Helix Native on several computers.
I think Helix Native is pretty good - I use it with my band and play everything from the computer where I have up to 5 instances running so I can switch instantaneously from one sound to an other - something I really need for my band, but the floor version of the Helix can't handle... (only with variations but I need 'broader' changes)
Playing the Kemper, switching sounds is no problem which is great for me and apart from that the sounds and the feel while playing is REALLY cool!!
So first thing will be to recreate all of the sounds fro my band with the Kemper now
I use Variax guitars or bass to go through the Kemper - I love the versatility of those guitars and I must say that the Kemper brings out the differences between all guitar models a lot better than Helix does...
I play guitars, keyboards, bass and drums with around 48 years of playing experience....
Since '76 I have also been using synthesizers (modular analog and digital) and have been using more and more softsynths over the last years..
I have been composing music for presentations and company films in the past and now compose mainly for my band.
With my band Whitecave I make original symphonic progressive music with roots lying with Pink Floyd, Camel, Porcupine Tree, Saga and maybe even a slight Dream Theater touch...
If you're interested you can find info and music on our website or search for Whitecave on Spotify, Apple Music etc.
In October we will have our first live performance - we had a rough time finding a bass player who could play all the basslines I would come up with...
Good to be here and looking forward to reading all your interesting stuff and to make use of all available knowledge on the Kemper!!
cheers Hans
