Ordered today

Hi and welcome, I don't you will probably have to do to much tweaking if you find the right profiles!!! I get plenty of sleep in and tell your wife/girlfriend she will soon become a kemper widow lol Enjoy!!!!

Mine LOVES the Kemper. It takes up much smaller space than the 5 amps I had.

Very good decision, and still early enough to treat you to some X-mas presents...

My back still aches from my old Marshall 70's cab and head it weighed a ton

<p>Yep, even a 1x12 combo is no fun to haul back and forth (unless you have roadies). My Powered Kemper, my POD HD500x as a footcontroller and the unpowered monitor on stage is all I need now. No giant pedalboard either. I got rid of that and use the Kemper effects only. My wife loves it too because I can use headphones to practice and not make much noise. She doesn't like when I play with it for hours though!</p>

Happy for you! Love to know how you like the Matrix stuff too, it's still on my possibilities list.

I'm hoping to use my pod x3 live as a controller for now, least till the KFC arrives, I'm hoping the onboard effects will do what I need, been a line 6 user for a very very long time

You should be able to use your POD X3 live as a controller. I'm not sure if you can use the upper switches as instant access footswitches, but I'm pretty sure you can. I looked at that possibility before getting the HD500x to use as my footcontroller. I'm sure there is a Midi reference from Line6 that shows how to setup your X3 live as a foot controller. The only effects you might not have in the Kemper that are in the line 6 are some of the more crazy ones, and the spring reverb and octoverb. I went from a full pedalboard + tube amp (with a Line 6 m9 as one of my pedals) to just the Kemper and it is great.

Congrats! You're going to love it

Welcome - you'll love it!
