Same.

Just for giggles, here’s the first scam response I’ve gotten on a CL ad: Thanks for returning my message and am so sorry for the late response , I'm currently not in town for now, so I won't be able to meet with you due to my work frame and also we are very busy at this time preparing for our...

I sold a pod go due to option paralysis. I’m hoping the Kemper provides a richness of options for amps and effects, but a much shallower rabbit hole for tweaking each amp or effect. I could then focus on 1 to 3 or so amp models/presets/profiles whatever we call them to get started.

I should be fine then. Plus I can use the pedals I have if I want.

The look has totally grown on me. Rosie, Bender, Robot from the original Lost in Space… you can guess when I grew up.

Separate post for this question - how are he “built in” effects in the Kemper? I typically use OD, delay, reverb. Fuzz and I haven’t decided if we get on together yet. I want to branch out to phaser, flanger and chorus. I use a Blues driver Waza, a sugar drive (klone-ish) and a Keeley Caverns...

I’ll likely never gig, maybe the odd jam session. I kinda visualize the stage similarly to how you describe it. The WiFi and iPad option especially. I’d probably be fine with either. The heads look like a cross between Rosie from the Jetsons and Bender from Futurama, so I’d kinda hate to miss...

There’s a good deal on a powered toaster and foot control locally, but just outside my cash flow range atm. Stage or toaster, toaster or stage…

Off topic, and I know I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but my charming daughter has Down Syndrome. She graduated high school with a diploma. She is now taking 3 intro courses at junior college, the same classes typical kids take, and she is holding A’s. She has a pretty tough final in her American...

Nah. My lovely wife and daughter are the good life. I’ll squeeze other stuff in. I could sell the mkv25 and the dream and get close enough.

Yup, I have the Fryette. It’s my quieter box for my mkv25. It’s also the louder box for my UA Dream.

All pretty much what I thought / hoped. The Fryette is pretty transparent at “reasonable” volumes. That leaves my options open to stage, powered or unpowered heads. Kone or powered Kone in the future. Oh, and for the record, powered monitors or the fryette and a cab for the near future.

I think it was the Destroyer tour for me, don’t recall the exact year. Probably ‘76 or ‘77? Milwaukee or Madison. We had a good hockey team at my high school those years. Our goalie had his mask painted up like Gene Simmons. The league made him get rid of it sometime mid season. Too...

Hey Kemper users @Bogner @dmatthews others - Kemper’s website says to use SS amps, NOT tubes as a power amp when amping into a cabinet. Any reason other than tube model over tubes? I was thinking the Fryette PS2 that has a 50 watt 6V6 amp would work. Any reason it wouldn’t?

I’m personally not a fan of the new nitro. I like the old poly. I have one of each. I spend all my time worrying about the nitro on a stand. I could probably pound fenceposts with my ‘03 poly Santana, and it would still look good. I know, I’m too precious about the nitro. Suck it it up and...
