Hi all! Another new Kemper user here - been GASsing for one for years now, and finally got the Profiler Stage last week.
I've been playing guitar for +40 years, coming up from a classic rock/blues base but I've studied some jazz, played in all kinds of bands, plus I was a live audio engineer for years (and fortunate enough to work with some great players over the years, famous and not-so-famous) so my tastes are pretty broad. In recent years I've done a lot of messing around with Ableton and some modular synth stuff, but the electric guitar is still my main instrument.
I mostly play for myself in my home studio these days (although I'm looking to get out again soon) so the Kemper seemed to make a lot of sense for me. So far I've really been enjoying trying out a bunch of profiles, tweaking things here & there, and learning my way around the unit. It feels really great to play the Kemper - I'm not a tube purist but I am a tube lover, and the Kemper does a really great job at capturing that sound and feel. I'm also looking forward to profiling my small collection and seeing what results I can get - I have an Orange Rocker 30, a Trinity Tramp, and an old Ampeg Gemini VI combo, and a decent selection of mics to work with, so hopefully I'll have something more to contribute soon.
Cheers!

(The stuff on my pages is mostly synth-oriented experiments at the moment, but there will be more guitar music soon. Track 3 on Magnetismecrosis is an experiment with droning open-tuned guitars and feedback.)
