Have a Helix and Want a Kemper...

[Sp8ctre]

So the Helix is great and it is considered a Modeler. You tell it what you want it to be and it emulates it...at least that's how I have heard it works.

But, the Kemper is a Profiler...you put the actual amp signal into it or some such thing and it profiles it exactly...again I have not studied in depth...

Any one have the Kemper who could school me???

I don't have one...but if I post a link to the Kemper for you...will you give me the Helix?

That's a fair trade, right?

This is a fun way to learn

Sweetwater is now selling the Positive Grid BIAS Amp Match Head. These are about half the price of the Kempers. I'm assuming the Kempers are more upscale... or are they?

A lot of poor user reviews on that

...and the Kemper has been found including the remote foot pedal and over $500 in purchased Profiles. Bought and paid for shipping in the morning!

Nice! I'll be looking forward to your reviews as you put it thru it's paces.

Will your incoming Kemper have its own power amp supply?

I'm going to try the Kemper with the Line 6 Powered FRFR PA Speaker I have...I'm about broke now! I may have to wait for the Kemper to get it's own PA.

I read that you can plug the Kemper into an amp's serial fx loop return jack, if it has one. There's a way to operate the Kemper without its Cab simmulation, too, if you want to attempt that route. But yeah, an FRFR system is the way to go.

Sp8ctre, can't wait to hear your review of the Kemper. They have always interested me. Really interested as to how accurately they portray existing rigs.
