Red Special/Kemper demo

[Dexter Inferno]

Shot a vid today using my current Queen setup with the Kemper.
Noodled through a few riffs and solos.

Sounds rather nice I think

 

[Mark Wein]

That sounds great.

I'm not in a position to buy anything for the next year or so but I think that my future with include either the Kemper or a UA/OX. Or both.

 

[sleewell]

sounds really good!!!!

I'm so happy with mine I'm going to sell off a couple of amps.
Used it on 2 gigs with no issues at all so far.
The trick is searching a bit for the really good profiles (Michael Britt rules that game btw).

 

[telecaster911]

Sounds really great.

 

[Aahzz]

Sounds fantastic

Sounds fantastic

In a way it sounds better than the actual AC30 I have, as I never get to crank that properly.

 

[Kerouac]

I mean, I don't know enough Queen licks to say how accurate it is, but it sounds great and that's the most important thing!

 

[micwalt]

Saw that on FB. Sounds really excellent!

Yeah

One thing the Kemper does that no modeller I've tried does is clean up really well using the volume knob (especially with a treble booster before the amp profile).
It actually feels like playing a real amp. Any modeller I've used can ALMOST get there, but not quite.

 

[OGG]

Awesome

 

[shoeless]

Sounds great! I love that there's actually a "stun" setting.

Sounds great! I love that there's actually a "stun" setting.

Not really though.

But the secret to the Brian May sound is an AC30 with the master AND the normal channel on full (not the top boost channel on the newer ones), and about 28db's of treble booster in front. As you can imagine that's unbearably loud. And Brian uses 3(!) AC30's live with that setting.

In that sense the Kemper is literally a lifesaver

 

[micwalt]

I'd love it if they made a non-amp floorboard model.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

I'd love it if they made a non-amp floorboard model.

Speaking of floorboard, theirs is about 500 bucks. I just use a Behringer midi board to control it.
I do have to double check the manual every so often for the programming though.

 

[CBHScott]

May-tastic!

"Dragon Attack" at 2:26

Dammit, tho - makes me want a RS again

The Kemper sounds very good though.

Nothing sounds better than a cranked AC30 for that short 10 second interval between when the first note starts and when your ear drums burst.....

But that sounds great!

 

[Guitar Heel]

Great tone, great playing, super cool guitar.
