Hello Fine Folks. Long long (loooong) time tube amp devotee, enthusiast, and builder of tube amps. I love tube amps. So why did I buy a Kemper? Well, after resisting for years, as a typical tuber would, I have been keeping my eye on the technology every now and then. After seeing the millionth Kemper vs Tube amp video, there was a blindfold test by those wacky characters at Andertons. I decided to play along. Six times out of six, I picked the Kemper. So I went out the next day and picked up a new PowerRack. Been with it for a it over a week now. I will reserve my this vs that opinions for a later date - regardless, there is room for both - no need to e the one or the other guy. The Kemper has a LOT of strengths and I will surly benefit from them! So, there you go! Cheers! :S
