Can't say enough about these Kempers. It won't ever fully replace my valve amps, but these are incredible for recording, demoing, and live usage. I mainly use this in the studio, but the powered version is super powerful and is WELL WORTH the investment. Again - I still have my tube amps, but these are fantastic tools to have in your studio or for live applications. Definitely get the version with the foot controller - not getting one would be a total waste in my opinion.

6 years in, still in love
I ditched all my traditional amps for this. Triple rec, Bogner, Marshall, Hook, all gone. I never miss them and the Kemper has carried me through hundreds of shows since.
There is a but: You have to get your programming right in pre production. Use a bad profile and you will sound bad. If you get it right and eq everything right at home your engineers will love you!

Sounds great
Controls and interface feel a bit 2000.
effect library has a lot, but not a hole lot.
finishing of the metalwork is budget like.
Sound is amazing!

Ideal for touring bands. The Kemper has allowed us to do a sound check, all on and off stage in 15mins!
We have 2 Kempers and have the line and cab level de-linked, so the stage volume is independent of what is going to the desk. This was a very complicated setup with tube amps previously, as fantastically as they sound and look, this made life hellish for setting up quickly.
For recording, it's fab to lay down tracks and send profiles to our mixing engineer, with a very close the idea of the sound we're after.
My only con is the 44.1kHz sampling rate, and would like it to have the options for higher rates; as I'm a stickler for high sample rates, like to have "air" in my recordings, and that many audio interfaces are now offering up to 192kHz and over.

I thought it will not be easy to use but I was entirely wrong. It is quite simple and it is a very versatile piece that I am happy with.
