New Kemper Owner!

Feinberger · Nov 4th 2015

Hey everyone, my KPA just arrived yesterday (I had a long night didn't get home till like midnight, so I opened it up this morning before heading off to work ). My name is Paul from Orlando, FL (small town Oviedo, FL).

Looking forward to digging into this thing and of course getting some Michael Britt Profiles. Is anyone has any suggestions on which pack to get please let me know. I am an EL84 type of guy. Run my amps clean with a little crunch when I play harder. I love Vox AC30's, Jackson Ampworks, Matchless amp, Suhr Badger, 3rd power British dream, and Dr. Z. I really want some nice Matchless profiles.

Anyway really excited and I look forward to digging into the unit and future discussions on this forum.

welcome ! prepare yourself for a shock after pluging your guitar tonite

regarding the AC30 there are great selections in the official kemper packs, but for me nothing equals Pete's commercial 65' AC30 (okstrat). what are your guitars ?

The Kemper fits right into my Green theme...

Hi Paul. Welcome to the forum! Get Rig Manager installed and check out the Rig Exchange. You might try the Morgan AC20 by rmpacheco.

I'd second this. I use Pete's AC-30 almost exclusively. Sounds equally great live as it does recorded.

Nice setup. Those Duesenbergs are supposed to be absolutely amazing.

Seconded. Rig Manager will make your life easier. While it's not a full-featured Kemper editor, it certainly makes it easy to store and maintain all of your rigs. The Rig Exchange is hit or miss - some rigs are great, but you might find some you really love. The Morgan AC20 is a spectacular rig as well - it's one that's mentioned around here quite often. Check out stuff by r.u.sirius as well - He's got a set of Bogner profiles on the Rig Exchange that are magnificient. Check out the VELOCETTE 10 335 rig as well (on the Rig Exchange) - it's based off a Trace Elliot Velocette, and as a really nice sound, not dissimilar from a warmer AC-15.

I would also recommend downloading the Reference Manual. The manual that comes with the Kemper is a good "getting started" manual. The Reference Manual is a free download, and you can just google "Kemper Reference Manual" and it'll pop up (it's a PDF, by the way). It'll give you everything you ever wanted to know about the Kemper and then some.

Thanks for all the input! I still need to check out Petes AC30. I have the morgan and yes love that clean chimmy sound. Someone here gave me a Jackson and a Bad Cat. I haven't tweaked the Jackson yet, but the Bad Cat is sitting right next to a Michael Britt Profile and sounds great. I yesterday I was bored so I downloaded the Reference Manual and started reading it. For sure a lot of stuff in it.
