Hi, My name is Rick. I play guitar in the Australian Killer Queen show.
I just got back from Singapore where we headlined Beerfest Asia 2013.
Here's a clip taken on my iPad placed in front of my rig, blended with some footage taken on a phone from out in the crowd.
This is the 3rd night of using my new Kemper direct, though I took a monitor out to a backline Marshall that was supplied.
Enjoy.
i'm in love with with my new Kemper

Hey Rick, welcome here
It seems you guys had a lot of fun...
-
Looks like you had a blast! Very cool!
-
That was really cool, thanks for sharing.
-
Hi Prickstein, welcome to the Kemper world! Great show! Which Profiles are you using? Got myself also a BM Special.
-
Sky high Jägermeister bottles plus a Kemper. German export industries! LOL
Welcome to the club!

Cool
Were doing the beerfest in uk next month also. Funtimes! -
Thanks guys, it was a blast. We did the next night there also.
I'm relatively new to the band. My second show with them was in Singapore on New Years Eve which was HUGE. I got to enjoy this one a bit more because I am a lot more comfortable playing the set than last time.
I am using one of the Amp Factory AC30 normal channel profiles and I have a Greg Fryer Treble Booster in front of it like Brian May does.
It's the blue thing on my strap, it needs to be before the wireless transmitter to work properly.
I also profiled my Digitech Red Special pedal before selling it. It has some great sounds in there that I use for specialty things.
My Kemper unit has a fault on the profiling input but the local distributor is going to replace the unit as soon as they can, then I am going to get my hands on and profile an AC30 spec'ed for Brian, cranked to 10 like his.
Yes I am wearing a wig -
Welcome, Rick!

Welcome!
So are you flying commercial with the toaster/lunchbox I would assume? Carrying it on or checking it? What case are you using? -
Yep, I bought the Toaster version and take it as carry on, carry on. (sorry, bad Queen joke)
I got the Kemper bag. It fits the Kemper, my wireless transmitter, receiver and power supply, Treble Booster and a Chorus pedal in case everything turns to crap and I have to use a supplied amp.
Check in my guitar and a case for pedalboard/accessories and I'm good to go. My foot controller is a Rocktron All Access I bought off Nine Inch Nails when they sold their gear on eBay a few years ago. -
Welcome Aboard. Sounds great and looks like a lot of fun
-
Cool, thanks for sharing and welcome
-
ha, that's fun. welcome to the board btw and more vids if possible pleeze
-
Welcome Rick, and very nice job with the Queen stuff. Your vocalist really has his work cut out for him! RIP Freddy!

Yes, Freddie is a very hard shoe to fill. Our Freddie, John Blunt, is the best Freddie impersonator I've seen. He doesn't sound exactly like him but people tend to listen with their eyes and he looks and moves so much like him, it's scary. If you ask him, he'll tell you he is an actor, not a singer.
I'll post more videos as I make them if you guys are interested. It's a fine line between sharing and spamming so I won't go overboard.
I'm going to send this video to the Australian Kemper distributor if they want to use it for any promotional purposes. I've already bought one so it's not in an attempt to get free stuff, just promote a product I am blown away with. Same goes to the Kemper HQ if you're listening. -
Here's a photo taken the night before Beerfest Asia taken in Brisbane, Australia
We jumped straight on a plane after this show to make it on time. -
Yes, Freddie is a very hard shoe to fill.
So true! It was obvious at the Tribute to Freddie 1990 or 1991 (can't remember exactly, but I think it was 1991). All those great singers, who wanted to copy him, sucked. Those, who didn't try it, were very good.

Hello Brian!
Are you using AC30 profiles? -
Sure am, but I am running a Greg Fryer Treble Booster in front like Brian does.
I've tried the Treble Booster pedal sim in the Kemper but it doesn't clean up as you turn down the volume knob like an analog one does.
I'm going to get my hands on a Brian May spec'ed AC30 and profile it with the Fryer Treble Booster in front of it, see how that turns out.
I also have a Digitech Red Special pedal that I have profiled and use those profiles occasionally.
I have a 3 week break as of last night so will refine my sounds a bit more before the next run of shows.
Programming patches using the intelligent harmonizer is on the priority list there.
