3 weeks in

pnut001 · May 13th 2014

Hey everyone,

I have had my Kemper Profiler for 3 weeks now. I moved to a Kemper from a Blackstar HT5 head and 112 cabinet. At first I was really impressed by the sounds. What a big difference it was from the Blackstar. I couldn't stop playing. Fast forward 3 weeks and I decided to try out the Blackstar again after playing only the Kemper. I had to turn it off after only a few minutes. Couldn't stand it. It sounded horrible compared to what I've been used to.

Long story short. I was originally blown away by the Kemper when I first got it. But after having it for a few weeks and then playing through the Blackstar again, I am even MORE blown away!! It is unbelievable how great the Kemper is. Not to bash the Blackstar, but it sure is hard to go back to anything else when you've had the best.

Just had to share!

Yeah, It is hard to make sound a 1x12 cabinet like a 4x12, and kemper does it perfectly (and more !!)

Welcome here

My thanks to djemass as well! Love the classic profile of the Mark IIc! Thanks for the tip, and welcome to the forum.

I myself am a new user (going into my 2nd full week). I am still building up my arsenal of performances and rigs. This one is certainly among my favorites.

Welcome and enjoy.

Yes, the Kemper is the best digital guitar box ever!

I've owned a Blackstar HT5 and a Blackstar HT1. Cheap full featured small amps, but the tone coming out of their tubes never convinced me. Very *solid statish*

Welcome, pnut001. The fun starts now.

Part of the issue in comparing KPA to your Blackstar is the variety of new amps you've never heard that is now in the Kemper. This puts the Blackstar in a new perspective for you.

Before, maybe you had 20 amps in your life you played, now you have 500 available. So you can truly find what you really like best!

So while the Kemper can sound as good as the Blackstar on a Blackstar profile, the variety in the Kemper put's it miles ahead.

Think of it like this, you get a scale, put the Blackstar on one side, a VOX Night Train on the other, the Blackstar may win, right?

But the Blackstar on one side of the scale, the Kemper on the other, and the 500 amp full pedal board KPA wins hand's down.

This seems obvious, but it was an epiphany for me in comparing it to my Tungsten Crema Wheat. Best amp I've played, and yet, vs 500 Amps and Full Pedal board? It's really an unfair comparison.
