  • As an official old guy, I love how the digital world has stepped into the world of music to this ridiculous degree, where things like the Kemper Profiler will change the way you record!! Keep in mind, that I had the very first Sony Walkman back in 1979 and the last time I recorded a demo, we were recording onto a DAT tape! Hahaha! So being able to record on your laptop with a few extras like an AxeFX or Kemper is mindblowing. If you've ever considered heading down that road, trust that you too will be shocked and thrilled that you took the big step. Check out my boy Chris Reardon's Amp Guru Kemper Profiles below and get yourself some of his seriously incredible profiles!! They are no joke!! Legit, they are crazy great!! GGRREEEAAATTTT!!!! : )

    There is nothing like a tube amp and 4x12. Nothing. But... Louis, I have to agree with you. That tone was awesome. Us "old" guys need to keep up! As always, keep chugging brother!

    • @louistorres
      @louistorres  3 года назад

      Man, it's like stepping into the future! I would look at a Kemper and think, "that's like a space ship!" Hahaha! And yes, I agree that us older dudes need to step up to digital and have it as an option. It's shocking how this thing is. And it's a fake digital tone!! Hahaha!!!

  • @mickeygiesbers8176
    @mickeygiesbers8176 3 года назад +2

    You know... I’m a Helix user, and I’m extremely happy with the tone I’m getting NOW... don’t get me wrong, I LOVE tube amps, a boosted Recto is my favorite sound ever, but I just can’t use it 9 out of 10 times, especially not at home. It took me some time and trying different IRs to dial in the sound I’m happy with. But I’m really happy with my sound now. Like I said, tube amps will always have a special place in my heart, but this is just way more convenient 😂

    • @louistorres
      @louistorres  2 года назад

      Yeah bro, trust that I understand you and like you, I appreciate the digital world and how convenient it is for so many applications of playing. Although I love my gear, I love my Kemper and Headrush so much for playing.

    • @louistorres

    Louis my man, kemper sounds good, Fractal is killer but nothing beats an old man in front of a camera with an arsenal of amps behind!! (and of course with the cap back

  • @metalgear4199
    @metalgear4199 3 года назад +1

    Let me tell you something. I bought a Kemper just few months ago, and it’s absolutely insane using it with monitors (+ subwoofer), just amazing metal tones. But...the problem comes when you connect it to a real cab, nothing to do with the valves feeling (I use a Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170w). Neither with an FRFR (I bought the Kemper Kone as well). And you now what, I just ordered a cheap Randall Diavlo to feel again that in-the-room low end and air heating you with the palm mutes 🤘🏼😎. Anyway for me it’s not about choosing digital or valves; let’s have both! (for different situations). Big bands just connect the Kemper to the PA and the wall of sound is stunning 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @louistorres
      @louistorres  3 года назад

      Oh shit, a subwoofer! I didn't even think of that for the low end! What are you using for a sub and how do you connect it?

    • @metalgear4199
      @metalgear4199 3 года назад

      I use JBL 305 monitors (5 inches) with a KRK 10 inches subwoofer; day and night. You connect the monitors to the subwoofer and the kemper to the subwoofer (the crossover ensures the right balance of low frequencies). This is my home studio setting and it rocks!

    • @metalgear4199
      @metalgear4199 3 года назад

      If not I would recommend a real wood cab FRFR, but never a Headrush plastic one 😅

    • @louistorres
      @louistorres  2 года назад +1

      Everyone with a Kemper usually jumps between using an FRFR System and running a poweramp to a cabinet. To be honest, I think it's good to have both. Use the poweramp and cabinet for live shows and the FR speaker for home or rehearsal use.
