But then I think Yngwie has feel, so what do I know

Can anyone play without feel? Of course not.

Quote from V8guitar

Depends what you mean by better.

I agree Jazz is the ultimate in terms of improv, neck knowledge and technique but those are not the only things...for me ( and I can only talk about me) it leaves me cold because there is no clear "story", just sounds like lots of random notes.

You're not alone.

I don't know how many here that have seen this video and there are still ppl believe Eddie invented tapping.

And Steve did it before Eddie too

Quote from Nikos

How many pedals do you know from the 60s and 70s?

I mean OD and Dist-pedals?

And in the '80s which pedal was the "choice of the guitar heroes"???

Don't like to argue with you. Just curious.

Dalls Rangemaster was used by many well known guitarists. Didn't many guitarists used rack effects with built in OD's in the 80's?

I find it extremely ironic that your signature line says "Think for yourself, or others will think for you wihout thinking of you

Henry David Thoreau" and you seem very insistent on pushing your views to others. Thanks for the laugh...

That's your opinion and not mine. I don't tell anyone what to think and if you can't see the difference....

Quote from Ruefus

Fine. Ignore the awards and assume it's all garbage. A convenient dodge, but fine.

Taylor Swift has been getting paid for her songwriting since she was *14*. Every song in her catalog is hers or co-written with her....and people listen to and buy them consistently. Fans pay extortionate amounts to see her live, which is something she has railed against time and again.

H.E.R. has been a professional performer since the age of 10, writes her own songs, plays 5 instruments and earned platinum, gold and silver records. At 26.

Like them, don't like them. It doesn't matter. Suggesting these artists are somehow worthless because you aren't aware of them, they dress funny, operate in an exploitative industry or don't conform to the 'correct' way to go about it is crap. It's music and it makes (other) people happy. Why hate on it?

Yes all awards are garbage. I don't care if a band have sold millions of records or if I'm the only fan. Music is an art. Period. I wouldn't watch a award even if all my fav bands would be nominated and won. I couldn't care less and all the silly thanks for the prize and and thank you....and thank you...and....yawn.... zzzzzzzz

Why do you take it as an personal attack on your musical taste? You can like her and taylor how much you want. No one have said anything else.

Quote from V8guitar

I reject the whole "huge machine planning everything in the background". The music industry was and always is a business, not a charity. No one pretends otherwise. It doesn't exist to promote music, it exists to make money - and in fact so do many artists. The basis behind any company.

Sure. But in the past they could be patient and let bands grow slowly and some of them made it and a very few made it really big. Music business became only about the money and nothing else. So they killed the business themself. I remember when Neil Young got fired from Geffen records late 80s I believe. The reason? He didn't make enough commercial hit songs. He replied I have never written a commercial hit song. With a business only concerned about the money no one is willing to take risk. They want the new new kids on the block, the new nirvana, new....fill in. We see the same in the movie world. Take a risk a make something new? Nah lets do a remake instead. So the question is how many of todays hit songs will be remembered 50 years from now? How many of of them will be remembered 10 years from now? Or even 1-5 years from now?

Quote from Ruefus

The hate leveled at people you have absolutely no clue about is amazing.

Taylor Swift has written or co-written *every* song in her catalog. She was getting paid for songwriting at 14 and has 12 Grammies.

H.E.R. has 5 Grammies AND an Academy Award for best original song. Which she wrote.

Industry puppet?

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

So what does grammies and academy award mean? Prizes are bs no matter if it's music, film, sport etc.

Quote from Terrapin

I really don’t get the point of the OP’s post, particularly on this forum. Perhaps I’m wrong, but surely people here (on the private forum) have already purchased and are using the product. Maybe he is simply plugging the content creator for some reason.

The title, “I’m sure every Kemper user has watched this video” prefaced with “9.3 Million Views” is somewhat baffling. If he is sure that “Every Kemper user has watched the video, then why post it here? What is the motive?

This. Reminds me of a stupid comment from a woman i used to work with. She said you don't like Michel Jackson? He sold millions of records. Me: So what?

Quote from Edward Dixon

Gabi Wilson (H.E.R.) had more talent at 10 years old (15 years ago) than you've had in your entire life. How can you criticize anybody you don't know anything about? Don't you have YouTube?

No way, 80s? Not me.

But I am ok playing 60s and 70s music for the next 100 years

70s-90s for me. With a few exceptions.

Quote from BayouTexan

Isn't 1.4mm and higher like holding a brick? Unless you play bass.

Umm, no. Thick picks are for men and thinner for....Tex

Quote from moskito42

Actually, I am very pleased as a customer to keep the old HW and get new features via SW updates.

I do not see ANY reason for a new device yet.

I've never seen any reason for a mk II and the kemper team makes sure I don't.

Quote from PETERFR

Some bass amps would be nice like

• Ampeg
• Hiwatt
• SWR
• Gallien Krueger

Agree

Quote from Ironsweep

These 2 profiles sound perfect! Very well balanced and more rock than metal. I would be curious to know what mic you used here ? Also, that would have been cool to make a liquid profile of your amp and see how it reacts !

Engl Savage is not on the list for liquid profiles...yet.

Never liked the Savage and mkII didn't do if for me either. But your profiling is impeccable and hope to hear you make profiles of other high gain amps in the future.

I was on my way to save some money for a fractal but then kemper came and it was cheaper and I could order one or wait 6 months for a fractal unit. The choice was easy and if I didn't like it I could return it back to thomann. But I would like to try a fractal some day. Buy one? No. I'm satisfied with my kemper. I've also purchased profiles pack and been dissapointed 'casue like only one or two of them was good for me. My best purchase was Colin Richardson's rig pack. The man is a legend producer and now his stuff. I purchased it cheaper though during a sale.
