Ppl are such snobs. Bad sounds pretty much don't exist anymore. But ppl would rather harp on tube amps, or solid state or modeling or an effects processor or the whole 'amp on the floor kinda thing...they'd all rather complain aboutnthat amd be too good for it, vs writing a good riff. Wanna know why guitar has taken a back seat in pop culture? It's cuz the elitism. Hendrix never watched RU-vid videos while commenting about his saddles not being made out of brass. Or worrying about his signal path. Or that his fretboard "needs a drink". Guitarists are the biggest bltches in music and it's been that way for 20 years, hence guitar being out of the mainstream, despite more guitars and gear being built today, than ever before in the history of guitar. The snobbery and elitist perfectionist bs is why that's the case. Jimmy Page and gilmour just played the single amp they owned. They'd be lucky to change strings once a year when they where teenagers. It's beyond ridiculous how childish the whole thing is. I like cool gear, but I'm in it to play and write.the majority are in it for vanity, and cool points and to gain envy,while not even playing at all

@1man1guitarletsgo 4 месяца назад

Bad sounds _do_ exist. I've seen bands using silent stages, where they use in-ears, and the audience hears the PA speakers. Not a real amp in sight. These have invariably sounded poor. Also, a band a few years ago in which the guitarist used a Roland Blues Cube. Not a good sound. And one with a Fender Blues Junior, that sounded awful.

I'm an old dude still stuck on valve amps only. My needs are very simple as I don't do 1/100th of what Shane does. Like the man said, use what works for you and leave the rest for other players. I hear a difference in digital vs valve. Some say I'm 100% wrong. Maybe I am??? It's just what I know and what I love.

He passed away from an accidental overdose back in 2009.

@foggyhighway3346 3 месяца назад

Great vid, since were talking digital. I think it would make a great difference if you had a digital sound measuring device on the wall. A visual idea of how loud you are playing would certainly help,me visualize the sound better.

@guitarcd 4 месяца назад

Step 2 would be getting a Fender Tonemaster FR-10 or FR-12 for live performance. I always liked the modeler/profilers for recorded tones, but they felt bad in band situations, until I got an FR-10. Just having the active eq in a guitarist friendly Treble Mid Bass amp configuration has made a world of difference, and it sounds great with every modeler or analog DI amp replacement I've paired it with.

@DougMen1 4 месяца назад

If you want to protect your ears while playing at high volumes, then use some sort of protection. If you don't, when in your home studio, or on stage, you WILL be sorry. And, once the damage is done, and the tinnitus (and hearing loss) begins, there's no remedy, it's permanent damage that'll only get worse.

@monahantp3767 4 месяца назад

100% agree-- when you find something you like, that works for you in your specific situation-- score!! I love tube amps, but in my case BOSS amps and Helix gear work best for me. Also, super light gauge strings :D Rock on brother!!

@NickGranville 4 месяца назад

Yeah man, use what works for you. I switched to a fractal FM9 for my videos (nearly 150 this year!), and it’s game changer. Main reason is it doesn’t blast the voice mic like an amp used to. And I can get every tone I want and am happy with it. Keep groovin’

@alanknott363 4 месяца назад

I would love something like a Kemper but for now I'll have to put up with my humble little rig: A parts-caster Strat into a Fender Frontman 25R amp, oh and a Digitech RP360 multi fx used in stomp mode to give me a few effects at my feet. You've probably guessed right, I'm definitely no professional lol. I just like picking up a guitar and playing a few licks indoors and maybe the occasional jam session with mates. Does it make me happy? Yes definitely, I wouldn't be without it. Love watching your channel Shane, It's the best 🎸👍

@SF480M Месяц назад

So in the previous video you did of the live… you said you really didn’t like the rig manager which put you off and the main thing which puts you off an amp unit is your lack of being able to travel out of country… was it just the price of this that made you take the hit on all the negatives you previously gave for not considering this again after the Rack version you once had? Just confused about what prompted the Uturn? I’m guessing this is night and day better than say Boss Katana Gen 3, Line 6 Catalyst and others? Were you not tempted by a Line 6 Helix?

@musicmatty67 4 месяца назад

Along with my tube amps, I still have my 2011 Fender Mustang IV Digital amp.. and it is still my go to amp. It sounds great and it’s incredibly versatile.

@johndrowe5281 4 месяца назад

Thank you. I hate to sound Too old, but I still dig the pre-company sale Line 6 xt/ xt3/ xt3Live. 🤷🏼‍♂️. My COSM sounds from Roland VS 1880 are good, also. Have used live and recording with easy success 😊. (My AC 30TB ‘63RI UK-made valve amp even likes the sound of itself in the Line6😊…). I realise this is apples and oranges to a point , but I will be a happy guitarist with what I have. 🎸👨🏼‍⚕️. 🫶✌️♾️.

Glad you're back into Kemper, and Profiling again. 👍 Screen wise, your cellphone screen using the new Kemper Rig Manager APP works great with the Player model, plus it's touch screen editing/saving, etc on a high definition colour screen.

@timjoseph887 4 месяца назад

Never profiled an amp but love the Kemper. Think the Player is still great for those who don’t want to spend 1800 for the toaster. I did the opposite. Have had my Kemper for 4 years and just bought the Marshall DSL-40! But I’ll never get rid of the Kemper. Curious what albums you’ve recorded ?

Yo Shane if it makes you feel better I'm still using the line 6 M13 and Line 6 pod pro rackmount unit original. like u2 the edge had on his old rig', plus boss ME 50 and a few pedals to throw in the mix, I'm still loving the tones man, I feel like a Dinosaur Jnr. It works for me on the Ac30, fender 2z12 and a couple of old laneys. My next guitar related investment is Acreage with no neighbours 🤣🤣🤣

@jimmcdougall9973 3 месяца назад

The Player is meant as a “pedalboard” amp, using the effects pedals you already have. The Kemper head (I have one myself) is the best all round solution imo. No other hardware platform updates and adds to as regularly as Kemper.

@DavidSmith1307 3 месяца назад

Still got mine. In fact I bought a rack unit and a player too. Still prefer it to ToneX and the other new competitors.

Have you tried Helix - they are also still supporting a 9 year old flagship with regular updates and additions - some killer tones from some of the modelled amps (for example Dumbles, and lots more).

@andrewksadventures 4 месяца назад

I'm looking forward to hearing it. I'm still considering a Fender tonemaster, but just wish they'd made the attenuation foot switchable. Would've been more useful to have like a gain channel, but then it wouldn't have looked as traditional for them.

No need to wait. We can start having those arguments now. Check out the Cycfi XR pickups. They're supposed to be full frequency response pickups that you shape with EQ controls to sound like any pickup but they haven't caught on. The more popular option is pickup emulator vsts and pedals that use EQ to make your pickups sound like a built in pickup or a profile you provide.

@886014 4 месяца назад

Good one mate, reckon you're being very humble re your playing; it's great. I recently had a significant career move/celebration and had promised myself a Kemper head when it was all done. In the end I finished up sticking with Amplitube 5 and instead buying myself a Fender Clapton signature model to pair with a LP Epiphone/Gibson Custom Shop '59 (awesome guitars BTW, super happy). I reckon these days a lot of people are also playing into headphones and maintaining the domestic bliss. Would be interested in videos where you're looking at your Kemper vs amp modelling alternatives. Most of the comparisons I've seen have compared profiling. Amplitube seems a poverty-pack alternative, but it enables people like myself to get a reasonable idea of a huge number of components in the chain without having to physically buy every one. The industry must hate the digital solutions, but I'm keen to see how well this represents Pro-level alternatives like the Kemper
