I'm a complete sucker for good tube amps. I've purchased many great amps the last ten years, but I'm changing my perspective as of late. I'm currently playing in a band that plays off the stage, with just vocals in a modest PA. Quite frankly I'm getting ear fatigue. Before this band, I miced to FOH my amps, for a decent stage level. This band is kind of loud, and the sound out front, not optimal.
I have been subbing with a band that has been going direct for the last 7 years. Over the last few years of fill-ins, I've used an RP500, an HD500, some amps miced, tilted at me away from the band, and the best results were with my Tech21 after my small pedalboard, into a K10, to FOH.
I may have a permanent slot with these guys, so I have been assembling my new KPA rack, K10, to FOH. I'm waiting for my uno4Kemper chip, and I have to debut this rig next Wed. Quite frankly I can't wait! The sounds I'm getting with the stock profiles are amazing. I'm using the stock TAF's tweaked a little. I don't have the great PA they use, so I'm hoping I won't have to do much when I get to the gig. Ill probably have to eq a bit, but ill just eq the main out section to keep it simple.
I've got a couple of amps up for sale, and my 500's will go up next. The KPA is a serious upgrade to any digital stuff I've ever used. I'm really excited to get this rig on the job with this group, thru the fantastic PA.
That's all, just sayin!
