Hi everyone! I got my powered Kemper head a few months ago and have been prowling the forum for a little while. Finally decided to introduce myself
First off, I'm happy to say that last Saturday I used my Kemper live for the first time. Flew down from Toronto to Costa Rica with it to play a smallish show (around 250 people) at a nice venue. It was also the first time I've sent a direct signal to the board; to be precise, I sent the stereo out split to the FOH board and a Venue/ProTools system for recording the show, a direct clean signal (also to the Venue system) and a mono monitor signal to a powered monitor wedge. I used a PRS Custom 22 for most of the show.
I was able to hear myself clearly on stage, which was a bit shocking in a really good way. After the show I got rave reviews about my guitar sound from the FOH engineer and the recording truck engineer, as well as several fellow musicians in the audience. I still have a stupid grin on my face thinking how great everything went.
Anyhow, I couldn't be more pleased about my little Kemper. Best money I have spent in a very long time. I'm really looking forward to see what Mr. Kemper comes up with next.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
