Because of the KPA and the many amps I profiled I found my dream amps during the last 6 years.

Only two of the old amps are still here:
Koch Studiotone and Fender Deluxe 57

... and all orhers are stored in the Kemper

Very cool! That's a space I could lose myself in for a long, long time

Only thing that appears to be missing is some acoustic treatment!

Have fun,

Si

The walls are covered with cotton.
The many speakers do a lot of damping.
And there are accoustic pannels on the ceiling.

Yes, I did

ah yes, I searched the exact toneking word on your page, now I'm seeing it.
I'm taking good note, yummy, thank you

Well, I used my Diezel tuned Marshall and my beloved Mesa Boogie IIc+. I really love those amps, and I'll keep them forever. The Diezel sounds amazing. Even the clean channel is fantastic. I got a very unique sound with my 57 Strat and my Jensen speakers.
The amp is still point to point wired, and I'm sure this is a big reason for its vast sound.

This MB IIc+ sound also unique. Comparisons with other IIc+ were interesting. In every case the other IIc+ sound a bit different to mine. Always very musicaly, but never as musicaly like my fat baby , I'm lucky

Now I'm happy with my Kemper. It's sounds very good, no doubt. I was never happy with my axe fx, but now I'm satisfied with my live sound, really. I got the best digital solution, IMO, in a small rack unit. The remote fits the device perfekt(!!!). It's so handy and practical.

You sold this old Marshalls for a digital box?

Very interesting pics Armin!

Yes, I did

I bought a real Toneking SkyKing amp for my studio after finding myself constantly using KPA profiles of it for clean/light breakup stuff (from multiple profile vendors). It's an amazing amp!

The Kemper has curbed my real amp desire to a massive extent, but like many of us here, with some gear - we are powerless to resist!

@Armin , what are those speakers? an Adam model of some kind? They are HUGE!

pamplemousse · Jan 16th 2018

Please profile

Armin · Jan 16th 2018

Yes, Adam S4XV - I love 12“ speakers

And yes, the SkyKing is a very great amp - so great to have power tube clipping at low level.

After profiling and owning so many amps I know what I like in amps - and as you I‘ll love to own and play the real thing in addition to great profiles for recording.

Yeppers! I had the JCM 800 for 20+ years, it was time to move on. The 1959RR is the one I miss the most. As you know I was pretty sick and didn't want to saddle my wife with all my gear but things turned around lol, for now. I'm looking at a snakeskin 1993 SLO 100 and a Wizard 4x12 w/ 20 watters in it. Starting my collection all over again.

I love that room of yours Armin, I gotta get the 57 Deluxe profiles
