Eyup guys,
So with this whole "two full-time jobs" malarkey, I am making some decent progress in flattening my credit card bills and other debts. I approximate that in about 2.5 years I will be debt-free, and will be celebrating by purchasing some new gear.
Some serious consideration needs to go into this, as whilst I will have a little money saved up for that glorious day, I don't want to go overboard. My situation is this:
I record at home, a lot. I currently use a PodXT, but as we all know, they don't quite cut it. I am building some isolation and sound-proofing solutions for recording live guitars and vocals etc in the mean time.
I want true "Tube" tones, but can only afford one amp to do this with.
So how good is the Kemper? I have seen a lot of YouTube vids A/Bing it and I can't tell the difference between the profiler and the amps it is profiling. Do you really get that sense of playing a tube amp through it? I'd really like to hear the opinions of Kemper owners, but it's really looking like the way to go.
I've seen it has a "tube shape" knob, anyone know how this colours the sound?
For the price, it seems like a much better option than, say, an Axe FX, by miles.
Also, are you able to turn off the cab part of the signal so that you can plug it into a real cab in a live gig situation?
In the next couple of years I will be making a select few "once in a lifetime" purchases, one of which will be my Daemoness custom guitar, the next will be some kind of uber-awesome recording amp. It's looking, so far, like the latter will be a Kemper, but need a lot more knowledge and opinions from owners / testers before I commit to a buy. Like I said, it'll be "once in a lifetime", so it needs to be the Daddy of amps / amp solutions. ^_^
GO!
