  • Tubes ... to KEMPER !!!

    as an old sixty years old dude with 45 years of music loving ( not at all a professionnal, a good guitar player, ... no, nothing, only a retired computer manager :whistling: ) =


    I was an "anal" geek of TUBES, tubes amps, ... !!! ask me about NOS 12AX7, 12AT7, STR 415 6L6, ... ...


    ... of course, I had a lot of "boutique amps" ... but, I keep my Fuchs ODS30, my Rivera period Fender 75, Concert II and Princeton II


    BUT this KEMPER blows my mind !!!


    I never imagine to own IN THE SAME TIME, 100/200 boutique amps PLUS 100/200 vintage amps !!!!


    Honestly, in a mix or live, this top gear DOES the job !!! At home, at one feet of the cab, you can always say = Ha, the high are a bit digital (raw), ha it miss some "air", ha, ha ...


    But at the end ... you play, you play changing "profiles" , ... and life is so good !


    I just bought something like 12 single packs ( and until now, have not the time to test them all !!! ) from the Amp Factory = but with the first tested all I can, is to confirm what I say previously !!!


    Profiling will probably be the futur : but in the present, it's already so much efficient and ... so fun !


    BUT, stay awake = as soon as possible (Time, neighborhood), I'll make some serious profiles from my "real special" Fuchs ODS30 with Nos tubes, STR 415 6L6 and old Mesa-Boogie


    Eminence speakers ( and of course of my Fender/Rivera point-to-point wired, Nos tubes, amps )


    Anyway = thanks KEMPER , you introduce a lot of efficience and FUN in our life !


    Hb :thumbup:


    Ps = of course, I'll comment all these Amp Factory Profiles ... which seem so amazing !!!

    Hi! I'm using an Electrovoice from a Boogie cab with my ODS and I'm really happy with it. There are some profiles in the Rig Exchange (search "PACO").


    I bought those Armin's Fuchs profiles and that Fuchs Black Jack with v30s sounds very different from my ODS, but those profiles are very good.


    Saludos!


    Hi PACO,


    a great thanks = that will be real interesting for me to compare !


    and thanks too for the advices concerning thes Armin's fuchs profiles.


    I'll keep you inform of my own profiling, my tests , ...

    My Fuchs sounds about the same :)


    If thisVAN WEELDEN Twinkleland sounds as it looks !!!


    But Yes, I'm really happy too with my Fuchs ODS30.


    I tweak it a little bit in a "strange" way : The Fender clean miss me too much and the mid-oriented dumble kind of sounds are sometime too much for me.


    So I've put on it an old Eminence 12" used by Mesa Boogie on the 80' Mark IIB and a set of "ol good" Philips 6L6 STR415.


    NOW : imagine a cross between an ODS30 and a Mark IIB = still that singing overdrive BUT may be a litlle more agressive and more "fender" clean.


    I got my Kemper one week ago and I'm a noob in recording, but I've a SM57 and an old Sennheisser 441 : so as soon as I'll better know the KPA and how to profile


    I'll try to get some amazing profiles ! ... give me some time ;) ( I'll probably need some advices ... ! )
