Got my Kemper in the mail from Sweetwater yesterday. I'm 33 years old, but I felt like a kid waiting for Christmas. I spent the days leading up to "Kemper Day" reading online reviews, manuals, video tutorials (even the German ones). I'm absolutely floored by the tones I got right out of the box. I'm currently just running it through a QSC K8 at my house. I joined Michael Britt's email list which gave me a free set of his profiles (which are phenomenal). I'm excited to gig with it this weekend. We play a lot of small/medium clubs, with two QSC K12's for tops, and the KW118's for subs. Monitors are all in ear Sennheiser's, so I will use those for my "reference amp." I'm excited to be a part of this community, and I can't wait for the dirty looks from my tube snob friends! Haha
