... buy a KPA!

Since I bought the KPA did I NOT got any other TubeAmp, Modeller not even a new guitar - the Kemper has this much options!
In addition did I got rid of all my other digital modelers (AxeFx II, Line6 HD500, H&K Zentera, Torpedo VB101).

The end of GAS?

Maybe.

(All I want is a footcontroller )

Well, if you're lucky enough to already have a great FRFR system or a good PA and cab when you get your KPA, then yes, the GAS (for amps and cabs) is most likely over.
I'm still using my old hi-fi system with the KPA, so I still need to spend another ~1000EUR on FRFR to really understand and appriciate what it has to offer. I did actually order an RCF ART321A in the end, but when, after 2 days the company told me that they forgot to send it to me, I got angry and canceled it, and right after that just decided to wait a little more and possibly find another place to order from.
Long story short, considering the prices and everything, a really great sounding KPA setup - in my opinion - is not cheaper at all than a quality tube amp setup, actually it might even cost a little more if you are going for a similar feel with FRFR than you'd go for with a tube amp/cab.

96k is something very funny indeed, because most of the people admit that they can't hear the difference between 48k and 96k and above. This being said, I can accept that someone can, but in most cases, I think it's just about the bigger number before the letter k

This is a link of the posts from Mr. Kemper, hopefully you'll find the replies you're looking for this way.

Sigh.. links still not working.
Ok, go to Members, find CKemper, and you can find all of his posts there.

I'm talking about today's models.. the older '58 was a lot nicer than today's.

I have to agree with the people saying that you shouldn't need a profiling guitar for that. The KPA could easily do this, it's almost like EQ matching in a sense.

Quote from MarcPepper

Thanks so much guys!!

Thanks!!! Not sure really how much the BB3 matters. As this is the PU the guitar came with I could never compare it to any others. I think what's important is a 'fat' sounding Les Paul. The Epiphone JB Signature definitely does sound very fat (the neck PU - a BB2 - is sometimes even a bit too fat/muddy for my taste). It also has a VERY thick neck, which might help a bit as well. I have big hands so I like the neck very much. Turning down the tone control significantly is also another important component of JB's sound I guess.

btw.: Having to chose between these three models is a problem I kind of envy you for!

Cheers,
Markus

Thank you for your answer, and again, amazing tone and playing!
If I had the chance I'd go for a JB Custom model, but that's again another league in terms of price.

That's why, I love flames, but almost 1000€ difference....

Yes, and of course you also pay for the '59 title, too. But I don't really like the fact that all of the '58 models are a little faded in color.

Quote from guitarnet70

I would go for a '58....

Well, as far as I know, among these three, the only real difference is in the finish (and the price, of course). '57s are Goldtops, '58s are Plains, and '59s are Flametops.

Did you win the lottery?

It looks like I got a job..

It has a weak point.
If you drop it out of an air plane from 30,000 feet you will damage the strap, be careful.

I'll take your word on this but if anything goes wrong...

I mean, original poster, look at your list... the negative side falls a lot shorter than the positive one, and is about (at least for me) very unimportant things

Best Bonamassa-esque tone I've ever heard, seriously, and also nice playing, great job! Does the BB3 matter this much?
I'm just about to get an 1957 or 58 or 59 RI Gibson, but they all come with BB1 and BB2.

As much as your presence is needed here to keep things at hand, private matters are first to go.
Take care, I hope you get things sorted out and return soon!

True dat! I'd love a 1 pedal version so I don't have to mess with an expression pedal and cable on top of this.

I have to agree on this - if both versions would be available, an integrated exp. pedal on the bigger one would sell it to me and I think for many people who would've gone for the smaller one otherwise.

Yes - for the past 11 years ever since

Guess it was worth asking.

...or, you'll have Cliff from Fractal interfering in your thread and using specifically chosen words to attempt to reduce Kemper sales.

Just noticed this one, hilarious, laugh of the day for me for sure also.. sad but true.

Get an Axe....

Holy f.. cow.
Amazing playing and tones, way to show people what the Kemper can do!

Quote from Elantric

The problem is getting the new US purchased KPA across the Canadian Border and thru the Canadian Customs Agents.

Without a CSA sticker - its not likely they will allow the KPA into their country.

Do the Canadian Customs Agents check inside your backpack?
