you can pinpoint the exact moment when Lee rethinks his entire existence. World view shattered.
I'd be interested to see you take this test Colin. They should have you come down for a visit.
almost a simpsons reference^^^^
I have seen a Kemper in action a few years ago and was impressed how discernible it was compared with the amp being profiled it was. The only thing holding it back in my view was the price. Unfortunately as they still cost the best part of £1400 for the lowest end model in the range, that situation has not changed.
Edited to correct spell check issue.
Chris Kocher I'd love to take some of these blindfold tests. It looks exceptionally difficult, especially in something like this when your expectations and preconceptions throw you right off.
Perhaps if I'm ever down that way I'll phone ahead and see if they are interested in me popping my head around the door.
23:07?
Chapman : how many watts is the kemper
Captain : 600 watts
Chapman : slowly dies inside
His face says it all
That was the moment he should have realized
Hey Guys, The profiles used are now available to download... Link is the description! :-)
TEACH ME YOUR WAYS WONDERFUL WIZARD
Thanks a lot! both profiles rock.
cheers from Morocco!
Thanks Chappers :-) A very nice treat
Great! now i just need $2450
Fab profiles - thanks for sharing...
well.... how about that.. you just sold about 179000 kempers,lol..
Such a good test! I'm also proud that we managed to profile the amps so well that this was the result! The Kemper profiler is really an outstanding piece of kit if you want all the flexibility! Very impressed
Amazing. And I finally found out you also like chicken and waffles.. :)
I would like to know how you made those profiles, setup etc.?
Hi man. We just followed what the Kemper told us. We used 1 sm57 on the cab. Pretty simple really. Best P
Any chance we can get our hands on the profiles?
Thanx dude :)
Holy crap it has finally happened.
How do you not have a tick yet?
Rob Scallon Henlo, fleshy mammal.
Rob Scallon Henlo, fleshy mammal.
omg Rob yess hahahaha luvyu btw
Rob Scallon the axe fx did this in like 2010.
Love that Chappers is still using his LTD Tele mod.
Riley Palmer I love LTD Tele too. It plays amazingly well
cause its scalloped
If he likes it, there's no reason why he shouldn't
@@TriteNight1218 I got one too best playing and sounding guitar I own. I need an additional one for different tuning and pickups.
it is awesome..would love to know where it ended up?
The Silverback Kemper profile is the best tone I've heard in my life. I'm tempted to buy a Kemper just for the sake of having that sound.
Ha ha - that was fun. Watch out for part 2 later this month for more mind blowing Kemper stuff!!
you guys should do the kemper vs the helix
I am watching!!! :)
I think Chappers has been wrong before. At least on a Gibson vs Epiphone blind challenge with 335's.
edit: unless it was recorded after this video, despite being released couple of weeks ago
And please don't forget to sent one to Dan and Mick. I can't wait to see theirs reaction :)
Its done :)
Heres my take on this:
This is an expensive unit. And for good reason, It sounds killer and when profiled correctly can sound exactly like its tube brother. Take an "affordable" modeling/profiling amp and see how it stacks against lets say a ac15 and a profiled ac15 on the kemper.
The whole discussion between why modeled amps/solid state "never" sound like a "real tube amp" is because no one invested the resources in getting it right. Looks like kemper did.
hit the nail on the fucking head man i couldn't put it better myself
Beowulf
Possibly this is just showing it can be done perfectly with software, perhaps in the future as technology progresses the affordable amp may well sound very close to the real thing and the midrange amp will sound like this thing in the video
Now this will cause an uproar in the amp market! Why pay for a Mesa Triple Rec when I can have a Mesa, and a Twin, and a JCM, and an ac30, all profiled into one for less than any of them.
So you can have several $1000+ amps for the cost of just the one unit.
+Beowulf Because if you have a Kemper, you're not just buying ONE high-end valve amp, you're getting ALL of them and everything in between.
i watch this not being able to afford either lol
I feel you bro
Get a Mooer Preamp Live instead.
You can do what I did and purchase the Kemper on Zzounds with 12 payments of like 185.00 a month. That is pretty darn affordable.
I've had a Kemper for a few years - unpowered rack version plugged into the effects return on a Marshall. The great thing about the Kemper is that it's NOT the death of valve amps at all! Profiles don't exist without the amazing amps to conjure them up.. it's a great way to refine your wishlist of real heads to buy also :)
Also laughed at Rob saying he's never got a challenge wrong before, in general he is brilliant, but I guess he forgot about that time he kept picking a Squier tele over the expensive custom shop one :D
I keep thinking I should rent Kempers locally to see which bands going by have left their profiles onboard..
That's a sneaky idea!
The moment kempers get affordable it will totally destroy 90% of the amp market. It wil happen sooner or later. Just look on the kemper forums, people just want everyone to profile everything and share it. No one gives a crap about the amp companies, just let us profile your amp and share it then tell you some stupid reason why its not having a negative effect on your company.
Kemper is a fantastic invention, but dont be fooled in thinking tube amps will still be around or widely use in a few years if kempers get affordable, the only thing preventing these tube amp companies from going down hill is the fact that most people just cannot afford a kemper. thats all. even used thy are bloody expensive. The only reason I dont own one is because I cant afford one, the moment I can get one ill sell my 6505 and never look back. Read up on how many kemper owners whnt and sold all their amps and cabs, as well as stomp boxes, its just not needed. So anyone thinking kemper will not destroy the tube amp industry is delusional or they just cant afford a kemper...yet.
dude completely agree! but maybe not because someone needs to build new amps to model so I don't think it'll make real amp companies obsolete but it will take away a lot of their business
I think this is as true a statement as the kindle will destroy paper books. You've forgotten that humans are romantic creatures, there are many who will anyways enjoy the smell and look of valves. Maybe foolish
The kemper IS cheaper than amps...quite a lot actually. I sold my amp that was more expensive and all my pedals. Now I can have every sound I need and I don't even care if the kemper sounds like a specific valve amp, as long as it sounds like I want/need.
in what universe is the kemper cheaper, as far as i know it cost 2000 bucks, maybe a 100 watt boutique would cost about that much
In Europe these are the prices of some famous amps and I think the Kemper is fairly cheap compared to these, and you can profile them all...then yes, consider also vintage amps I'm not including here (prices taken from Thomann):

PS: KEMPER YOU SHOULD PAY ME FOR THIS!
That "clean" tone is more driven than my drive tone.
hahahaha mine too!!!! XD
Awkward moment when the kemper sounds better than the real silverback.
FlourescentPotato
Seriously though. I honestly thought it sounded notably better.
I've been a fan of the channel for years now. This video has moved me to comment. It was great and hilarious to see you both get it wrong and the genuine shock on your faces. I would think you'd fear the outcome (being in the sales business), but you didn't. This is what makes honest demos so valuable here on RUclips. My hats off to you both!
The video editors deserve a raise. Top Vid
Thanks John, I had a lot of fun with this one! :D
Rory, you're the beast, really!
Haha thanks Mykyta! :D
This video made me even more incredibly happy to own one of these amazing gadgets
Andrew Baena Do you actually have to own the real amp in order to play the original tone? I mean like, do you have to record or mic up a real amp, cab and mic first? Or when you buy the kemper, does the amp tones come already within the kemper?
i dont own one but i believe there are profils on the net, some are free some are not, i dont know in which proportion tho. but what i've heard is that if there isnt a profile of the amp etc that you want, its not easy to achieve this on your own except if you are a sound engineer or tweak master. But then is it worth it to own one when you're mostly playing at home ? if u got the dough why not i guess but even then it wouldnt be worth it imo. take a look at the Two Notes Audio Engineering, it might suit you more.
Thank You for your hel jean :)
Love the editing so much, can't get enough of it...
Haha thanks man! :D Glad you enjoyed it!
Rob is a MASTER!!! Watching this again years later and still Amazed🤯
But can it play Crysis?
lol
I'm sure Captain would say it has input lag if it did.
basically, is [hardware X] versatile enough to run [software Y]. For example, can the new Toaster Max 2000 with USB and whatever run Linux? Or "can this or that hardware run this or that game?"
***** It brought super high end hardware to it's knees. 30FPS @ anything over 1680x1050 was a myth at ultra high settings, it took probably more than a year for hardware to catch up.
Still looks pretty stunning now tbh Very High at 1080p Stephen H.
This is becoming one of my favorite channels on youtube. Both hilarious and, at times, actually helpful. Thanks for all the great content, guys!
You have no idea how much I've learned from your videos. These types of video opens my mind and ears, to different type of sounds. I was always stuck to Gibson guitar and Marshall amps. Everything else was crap to me. With this i can't think that way anymore. please keep the vids coming.
Thank you for actually addressing the Feel of the amps/devices. Very, very few people do that in videos. ... and for me that is Super-important!
I've been saying this for years. Sound is a wave, if you have the technology to copy that wave exactly...then you have a JCM 800, a Dual Rec, a 5150 etc. Seems that the technology is finally catching up.
*has finally caught up
*caught up
Not all the amps can be cloned successfully yet.
Yes, all amps can be profiled (cloned) successfully. It only needs the right skills and the right tools
That is greatly over simplifying the issue
i love how pete's smirking the whole time like "yeah i could have told the difference".
Did Pete leave Mesa Boogie and join Andertons? i remember him well from the Mesa Cab Clone vid
Only because I profiled the amps, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to tell.. :)
See reply above :)
I love seeing Rob playing that guitar, reminds me of all the fun you can have starting out with a relatively inexpensive guitar!
I appreciate that Rob understands volume tappers. Well done my friend
23:07 The moment the Captain realizes there's no magical elves casting sonic spells in Valve amps and that the sound he's so fond of also relies on complex circuitry.
I am blown away. The Kemper sounded better than the amp it was modeled upon on both occasions. Crazy. Well done Kemper. How many amps can you store on this thing? If they each sound this good, this machine revolutionizes the amp game to a brand new level. Holy shit!
I was blown away and glad you guys did this, very impressed with the Kemper.
I watch this every couple months as it’s one of my favourite videos on RUclips, can’t beat their reactions
Thanks, guys- just bought a Kemper, and I'm feeling rather smug at the minute. 👍
I'am too🤘
I've played guitar for many years now so i decded to do the test with you both, tuened off my tv and left the surround sound on and i was wrong on both counts. absoloutely amazed by the kemper
"do the twat"?! ;-)
test :')
luke simpson
Just one key to the left in both cases... that's why you should always proof-read! ;-)
it's most likely my autocorrect, my phone's dictionary is clued up with all the swear words :')
I seriously thought you were saying you had this video on in the background whilst you were getting laid, for a second haha.
That'd mean you are very comfortable with the voices of Rob, Lee & Co. and was very dedicated to hearing amplifiers!
One of your best guys. A truly honest and informative episode. Thank you
That’s insane!!!! I literally can’t believe how good that sounds!
i played along with you and i would have gotten it wrong too...mind blown....
watched it again and its ridiculous....
right ? like,what the fuck ?
I could tell. They were hearing it from a Marshall cabinet in a room. I was listening through Behringer A3030B Ribbon tweeter loaded, which allowed me to hear the missing really high end presence frequencies, that modellers don't produce. Also modellers, tend to have a little more bass in the overall tone. I think the models of the real amps were really close though.
TMmodify nnh
Got it right. I think Kemper have more sterile, "too proper" sound without micronoises etc but it could also be my mind or guess... Anyway I've been using digital stuff instead of valve amps for quite a while because today's modellers can produce really good sound.
After seeing Lee on the Pedal Show I kind of knew what the outcome was going to be but didn't expect both of them to be fooled both times. Shows how far the technology has come which is pretty amazing.
Cracking good combo of entertainment and info - likeable people, superb playing and a result to drive a stake into the heart of gear snobs everywhere.
F'n loved it!
This video had me cracking up. I can't get enough of these 4 guys.
I'd love to see a supercut of every time Chappers plays that high note on the 12th fret.
Who is watching this video in 2019 and saying l need a KEMPER IN MY LIFE?
true that. gonna sell my amps now...wait, maybe after i profiled them.
I'm not. It has nothing to do with tone, it has to do with simplicity.
@@jeffhudson2346 actually I just switched to a stereo rig and face the challenge on how to get my pedal board etc. to work in stereo. also the selector switch/looper I am running has limited capabilities for that. from this perspective a kemper could take a lot complexity of what needs to be taken to a live gig. as we only play our own songs I have my preset for each song, so that would suit perfect for preconfiguration. but i guess it depends on each situation, for me it would fit!
@@PsychoToasterI'm at the stage in my playing where I don't need the features that Kemper offers, all I use is a single channel tube amp, a few pedals not a lot of dancing around turning things on and off. That said, if you are not the kind of player that I am, I can see where a Kemper can be very beneficial.
David Elvis I already converted. No more cabs, heads blowing fuses or tubes. No more lugging pedal boards and tons of extra patch cables, spare power supplies, etc. Many clients and groups I have played with cannot believe that it’s a digital unit. It’s a game changer and an obvious reason why many other professionals have converted to Kemper.
This was so much fun to watch guys. Props!!
Probably my favourite youtube channel you make awesome videos guys !
Remember: There's already about 3ms of delay when you're playing with a distance of only 1 meter in front of your cabinet.
Good old speed of sound =)
Really...I didn't know that. Good to know.
Plus the time it takes to the signal of your pups to get to the amp, be amplified and sent to the cab
It's neglectable, if it's a completely analog system. Because the electrons are moving at almost lightspeed through the circuit.
It's a easy calculation: Soundwaves are traveling with approx. 300 m/s. 1 second are 1000 milliseconds. 300m/1000ms = 0,3m per millisecond => 3ms => 0,9m.
I am an Andertons TV fan for yeears. Since the start basically. And I soooo miss this energy from the video. I like Danish Pete and Captain together, but Rob you must come back there as a regular again. Rabea is basically Chappers and Captains son from the start and Pete is like an aunt from another country. You guys were like an ideal gearhead family to us. We need you back.
I agree so much with this comment!!
I bought a Kemper a few weeks ago on the strength of this video,
it is superb, I love it!
F**k i love you guys!! I've watched this before but have just bought a Kemper Kabinet so found myself on RUclips watching this again and i must say....you make watching your videos fun and somehow a bit interactive. You all have different personalities and bring a different flavour to what you create. Awesome. Keep it up. You lads are what RUclips and GAS is all about. Rock on
I'll follow that up with saying that i am from Oz but when i next in the UK i am coming to your store to buy a new axe in person to give it a backstory and a little more feeling that means something to me (if not anyone else) in my guitar journey.
P.s. a signature from the lads wouldn't go astray 😉
2020 and I still love and own my Kemper..
Chappers your Dorje album needs to be called incredibly handy knob guard.
I think thats what the rest of the band call Chappers! ;-)
I love the way Rabea smiles at the camera (pause it at 21:55) just after he gets in front of the camera. The smile said it all. Wow.
You guys give my brain a lot to think about! And to add, I suck as a guitarist. But my ears know what I want to sound like. Even sitting in a truck stop parking lot in Billings, Montana. ( in the cab of my truck) I'm going to keep practicing. Someday, a Kemper amp. Love the vids. The editor crushes it!!!
That was the longest second of my life.
Great test! It show's that time&progress waits for no man! So many closed minded people who don't even TRY things out. The great thing about this is eventually affordability and portability with quality sound will be available to budget guitar enthusiasts. Nice to see ego's didn't get in the way of this either. Honest and open. Nice!
Just stopping by to say you guys are amazing! Inspiration after inspiration!
OMG I was so happy to hear that riff from aeromancy! Thanks man and please play it more.
"Hey, that is a profiled amp sound, not the real thing!" ..... said nobody in the audience ever. Other than the occasional pedantic audiophile, the audience doesn't care what amps you use. I bet if you gigged with a line 6 Spider, 90% of the audience would not notice that the tone was shit.
In any case, the Kemper does sound great. These things must be a godsend to touring musicians.
Hey, don't insult my Line 6 Spider amp!!
Seriously, while there's some people who can and will dissect tone's and vintage amps all day (me being one specifically with earl AC/DC) My gf/most friends/audiences wouldn't be able to tell a difference between my $2000 plus Jtm and a DSL 40
Truth
I loved my Line 6 for a while (especially the fact that the wireless support was built in) but then my buddy brought over his blackface and I realized my mistake.
It's more about how it sounds to you. If you are playing something that sounds crap to you, you will be less inspired.
Dream rig for home studio: Kemper Profiling Amp, Fractal FX8, and Two Notes Torpedo.
The editing in this video was top-notch and quite entertaining.
God the tones out of that tele kemper comber were sick! I enjoy watching rob shred.
As I see it Kemper is a great road and studio tool. But there's still the pleasure of having a prize valve amp to play prize guitars through. BTW I truly enjoy these videos. Keep up the fine presentations guys.
For the shear joy of feeling the thump in your chest and your hair move from the air your cab is pushing....tube cranked to 11...that was, is and always will be "rock n' roll".
Flying to europe to play an hour long afternoon set at a 3-day festival....well that's called having a job. Like any other job, the more efficient a touring musician is, the better he/she will be at their job.
So i guess it just depends on what your goals are. If you are a kid dreaming big...get what you can afford and stick to the standard guitar, amp, pedal set up. You will be a better player if you spend your time learning how play, rather than chasing tones.
If you are having a mid life crisis and the therapist, affair and weed didnt work....get les paul and a marshall stack...and a storage unit to play in.
Did Rabea loose a shit ton of weight? Good for you bro!
Yeah, he's been slimming down for months now.
if that is true i should win the box of mooer pedals
No, he tightened a shit ton of weight. He's a hero.
I second your disdain for poor grammar....
Loved the video, the Captain's faces at the end are amazing. You should absolutely get the Pedal Show guys in to do this as well.
You guys are the best. Thanks so much. Love your honesty. Now if only the Kemper was affordable.
The question is not whether or not it sound the same, the question is if it sound good, can you tour using it? YES, cuz once you are on stage apart from you and your crew, 99,9999% of the crowd, if not 100%, won't be able to tell shit.
well, I would say, for a profiling amp, the whole point is that it should sound the same as the original setup.
Nope, its about sounding good and as close as possible. You will get minor differences like that just by moving your amp around a biot.
djteac exactly
Absolutely,Wolf Hoffman of Accept is using a Kemper on tour and he said the same.When he's in the studio,he's using all his modded plexi Marshalls and other custom shop amps,but on tour he's using a Kemper,which he has programmed with all his amps and pedals.And he said the same thing,9 of 10 people can't tell a difference.
in the past some bands (twisted sisters, dave mustaine, evanescance). were using line 6 live and the poeple did not seam to hear the difference .
There is a critical detail missing from this challenge. Volume. The volume level of all outputs must be identical. Science has shown that the brain perceives the louder sound to always be perceptibly "better". Audiophiles in the home audio reproduction and studio world know this. All output levels should be set with an SPL meter and all equipment given equal warm-up time.
lots of fun! Amazing tones! the blind test is a real challenge.
Thanks for the profiles...I`m always enjoying your videos. Greetings from the Netherlands!
are people really that offended by technology progression that you have to make a two minute PSA warning them ahead of time, that a digital amp is used, to avoid hurting them?
The answer is, yes. This is the internet and people will go nuts on literally anything.
I'll never understand the backlash against digital amps, it's like "ruining my childhood"-caliber animosity.
People have a digital stigma though, they won't even give digital amps a look and feel insulted by even the suggestion of trying one out.
Tell that to the guys who write 'em off, I'm no valve purist!
I think it goes beyond that though, it's borderline fetishism: people *look down* on anything that isn't their "beloved" valve amps and analog effects, like not having what they champion as being the real thing is an embarrassment and means you don't take your craft seriously (which is absolutely ridiculous, because the gear absolutely does not make the musician contrary to what many brand loyalists will tell you). Making due with what your budgetary constraints allow you to afford or just not being comfortable with spending thousands of dollars on gear isn't allowed, which is ironic considering how musicians have always been seen as starving artist types.
The one second later... bit had me properly laughing out loud!
I've got a Kemper & 5 tubes amps and IF you profile your amp properly you cannot tell the difference. Tube amps will never disappear but like Rob said the Kemper or AXFX will save you money if your tour. I still remember your very First Kemper video guys. Fantastic video :-)
I'd love to see a shoot out of helix vs axe fx vs kemper vs bias amp.
For the sake of fours. Please do that!!
I tried profiling my pet Hamster.
Did it work?
+Goofy GooberInc He died, but I now have an almost identical replica ;)
Not gonna even think where you plugged in
I was hoping for a Rodentry Speaker sound ;)
So sorry for your loss. At least you can take heart in knowing the world will now have an infinite supply of the cute little guy.
Fantastic comparison. I have to say that I love how the videos are edited. I always have a great laugh. :)
Thanks for making it so easy to play along. I kept waiting on the guys to tell you they were screwing with you... That never happened.
Goes to show things like "the delay when I play a sim" and "the compensation of the low end" are on the mind, if you want to hear things in the sim you will, but they are not there.
So this is what it's like to be early... dang... it's pretty lonely
You are never alone :-)
I've been noticed by a guitar legend haha you're a big inspiration Rob! Keep doin' what you're doin!
This was super entertaining. Nice job, guys!
You realiza how much of an impact this video will have?
One of the best vids you've made.
I absolutely love these blind tests! As a relatively new player you hear lots of stereotype opinions that most beginners just accept because "hey he's better than me he must know a thing or too." Its amazing what happens when your remove bias and get the chance to decide for yourself and make the decision that is right for you.
Saxon uses Marshall JVMs in the studio but bring Kempers out on tour with that album studio tone profile loaded up - BIG money saved on shipping costs, consistent tone despite widely varying weather conditions, no wear & tear on expensive tube amps and resulting repair bills, etc. SMART thing to do.
Best video you guys have done. Every guitarist should watch this.
Wow.... i love all the capt and chappers videos... but this may be the best. I can't believe it.
I have a Kemper, and i'am the happiest musican in the world👍🤘
But can it play Fallout 4?
+ThePcGamer shots fired . I like
no but I think it plays the Witcher 3 pretty well
More importantly, does it have mod support.
no, but it'll put a hurting on you in starcraft
I would argue, having both pc and ps4, that a ps4 can´t
THIS WAS AWESOME GUYS!!! You should do another video of this kind!
I love this video. I'm neither a valve nor digital enthusiast. I've had plenty of great tube amps, and I'm currently rocking a Fender Mustang V2, for home practice and recording. If it sounds good... what does it matter if it's valve or not??
One thing I will always stand by. Tone definitely comes from a persons hands, in some way. When Rob takes Lee's guitar and plays, the sound is very much different. Neither person sounds "better" but they certainly sound different.
Once again, great video fellas! Thanks!
Rob 'I'v been Rob Chappers'
Lee 'I'v been humiliated' Lol
18:37 Cap finally realizes he loves metal
"Fuck yeah," he says 😂
It would be great to have a video of the guys creating such great profiles.
guys I dont even play guitar but its always so much fun to watch your videos, always a pleasure! thanks :)
This was the most fun I've ever had on this channel. I'm so glad I played along.
HERE BE SPOILERS MAYBE I TRIED TO WORD IT CAREFULLY OKAY
I struggled until the end when they dialed back on the last amp. The way it cleaned up versus the one before had me dead set with Rob and Lee. Made the reveal that much more exciting!
That crazy double pinch harmonic at 19:02 Rob looked over to see if it really did happen, then wanted to make it seems like it was purposeful. #PinchFromHell #DimebagDarrell
Can hear the veil of the Kemper vs that tube amp. Glad you went clean first as it made all the difference. Keeping my tube amp. Great shoot out
Holy shit! This really makes me want to buy a Kemper. You guys always get this test right but now you couldn't tell the difference, I'm sold!
Great video. I'm interested to see your thoughts on the Fractal Audio Axe FX ii. I'm sure a lot of people would like to see a demo video from you guys!
Yeah like a Axe FX vs Kemper video. I've always wondered about the differences!
The problem with that is Anderton's usually demos what they stock in store, and they don't carry Fractal. Actually, pretty much no one carries Fractal.
Fractal doesn't sell through retailers AFAIK.
I'm sure these guys can get hold of one to demo.
Daniel Beardsley Right, but that's not the point of Anderton's videos. They're about advertising the gear they carry in their store. Sure they do lots of fun stuff, but it's still based around their stock. At the end of the day, this is all business, and Fractal isn't part of their business.
I'd now love to see a video on what Rabea and Pete did to profile the two amps in the shootout. They did an absolutely amazing job, and it'd be even more impressive if they had done it with relatively little work.
Great and honest video, been using Kemper for a few months now after using valve amps for thirty years. It's a big learning curve, but nailed my sound only last week and I could honestly say it felt and sounded like my old Marshall. In my short time with it I found the factory loaded presets a little weak, commercial profiles are the way to go. The biggest hurdle for me is exactly what The Captain said , it's getting over the fact that it's a digital snapshot and not the 'real' thing, but as far as the sound and feel goes Kemper has nailed it, sad in a way.
Can we take a moment to appreciate this cabinet? God, that sounds amazing
Chicken "n' Waffles!! Hahahhahahahaha
