Hi all!
Feels great being back! I had my first Kemper about a year (about two years ago) but had to sell it to finance other things.
After selling it I tried a bunch of other methods for recording.
First an amp sim that where pretty ok. Then I tried to run a Fender Champ and a bunch of pedals into an attenuator lined out to my DAW. Horrible solution and pretty limited!! Then I tried the Suhr Corso and a bunch of pedals which sounded pretty good actually. I might have gone for this setup if the darn amp didn't self oscillate, but Im glad it did since it lead me to buy a Kemper. Every time the amplitude faded out on the Corso it sounded like bad preamp tubes buzz.. Bye bye Corso.
I got my second Kemper yesterday and after installing the latest Beta i realized (once again) how extremely good this unit sounds. I downloaded the free Morgan AC20 from rmpacheco and the Kay Model 703 1962 from Ruppert which are both very very good profiles.
This made me smile!! The harmonic content, the dynamics and the feel... All there again! Actually it sounded better than I could remember.
It´s just soo inspiring to play!
I guess the grass is never greener....
The one thing I missed with my last Kemper was a software to control it and when I found out about Rig Manager for Mac there was really no questioning about buying. A lot of good things has happened since the last time. More and better effects, better firmware... and I just found out about M Britt Profiles
I have tried almost every direct recording solution there is now and can only say: The KPA is hands down the best!!
See you in the forum...
