Hi all,
I just want to introduce myself as a new Kemper user and lover. I love tube amps and have a 71' plexi and AC15HWX, beautiful tube amps that sound great at what they can do. Sadly I moved to NYC and have an apartment the size of a shoebox ---> No more room for my amps and a slight overkill for where I live
I since bought the Kemper and must say I rarely miss any of my amps at home. It's small, practical, easy to use, sounds incredible and above all as silent as possible. Recording has never been easier since it's just plugging into an interface and done.
I love a variety of music styles and am lucky enough to own several (very different) guitars. I like anything from clean to blues, rock and metal. The biggest benefit of the Kemper is the ability to upload and save multiple profiles that match with the tone/style/guitar you are going for. All profiles sounds very different and you still retain the original 'vibe' of the guitar, I must say the Kemper never sounds generic. I am a bit of pedal geek as well and I can confirm the Kemper works absolutelty great with any of my pedals.
For clean and blues tones I mainly love the 69' pack from Mr. Britt, it shares the same characteristics with my JMP50 at home and I love plexi sounds.

For heavier/modern tones I use the 5150 TAF profile.

So to conclude I really love the Kemper and advice everyone to try one for themselves. They are a bit pricy but for what they can do well worth it. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out!
