Drooling

Post by erwin_ve »

After a couple of years doing jazz gigs and stand-in replacement I'm back in a commercial band playing anything from jazz to rock to funk.
The guys in the band wanted silent rehearsels, so bought a 2nd hand Kemper profiler. I'm impressed, recording at it's best is a decent description.
Doing fast switches between extreme sound or morph between sounds, it's all there with ease.
But...after playing for an hour it's fatiguing.

I have a SSS002 clone together with pedals. Bought a looper switcher. Looper switchers are a Nightmare compared to the ease of a Kemper. After some nerdy programming I could do the most thing like a Kemper.
Any way set it up and played for 4hrs straight on band volume, it sounded so insane good, until my wife called what was the plan for dinner. I had a instant Brain freeze,....she did the cooking :wink:

ofcourse but kemper has advantage in consistent recording, which is extremely difficult with any amp and speakers..
kemper has some settings of pick sensitivity, this when setup correctly is ok

No complains in general on the Kemper, but rhe Sss002 with pedals is another level. The latter is more inspiring to play. Makes me feel 20yrs younger.

it's cool to read that you still feel this way after having your SSS 002 for a while! Maybe building that amp and playing through it is the fountain of youth! haha

I hear you, buddy.

Your playing is as great as your amps. You really have a special touch that makes the notes all sound important and sweet.
