I hate anything non-tube...and bought a Kemper!

Now then!

Steph here, all the way from Holland.

I used to swear by my tube amps...a Marshall JCM2000 TSL100, Engl Powerball II, Engl Tubetoner and Vox AC50 Classic Plus.

Oh, and by my Strymon effects!

So the other day I walked into a guitarshop, had a look at some nice Soldano's, Victory's and Jackson's and go chatting to the owner.
He tells me about this thing called a 'Kemper' and points out a device that, in my mind, resembled a 1982 clockradio from Russia. Bought in a supermarket.

And so I told him.

He then tells me I should have a go on it and I tell him I don't need to because I'm not going to buy it anyway as it will be shit, as are all things non-tube...

He then hooks it up regardless and starts playing.

Oh dear...

I was really looking forward to ripping the piss out of it but I just couldn't!

I sold the two Engl's that night, and all of my Strymons the next week!

So now I have a Kemper sitting on top of a BlueAmps 'the Beast' where once stood my Marshall JCM...

It looks rather silly and a bit lost but it sounds like...well...anything I want it to sound like!

Loving it!

What a warm welcome, thank you!

Seeing that I'm utterly useless with a phone, computer and pretty much anything else with a processor I will need your help sooner or later...and lots of it!

Thanks guys!

Well, I must admit it hasn't improved the look of my living room...there used to be a Marshall JCM with 4x12 in the corner and now there's a BlueAmps 2x12 with a Kemper on top and it looks rather...silly...but at night with the whole christmastree lit up it is a lot better!

The Engl was nice with the red glow but the Kemper outdoes it with many more led's!

Oh wait, and it sounds shit-hot as well!
