Although Julien has a nice plan, I'd probably just buy the profiles for the Dumbles if it was me...

I wonder why they named the Dumble.. the Dumble... that really is a crummy name for an amp. Must have been the guys name, what do I know? Not much I tells ya....

Sweet! My wife doesn't know it yet, but a Kemper or Axefx is on my wish list. Have fun and keep us posted.

Glad to read that it's up to your expectations and even better. 
 
By a strange turn of events, I recently got back in touch w/ a few old bandmates of mine through Facebook. Besides them making me green w/ envy w/ their respective tube amp collections, we've been having one ongoing discussion about amp tones. I ended up bringing their attention to the Kemper and the Axe FX - in this particular case, examples of attempts at recreating Van Halen's brown sound. I myself was quite surprised w/ the Kemper.
 
Right now, I'm pretty much sold onto a tube Marshall combo. If I had the money, next would likely be a Boogie TA-15 - which I am told is incredibly versatile. After that however, I suppose I could re-consider the Kemper.
 
Anyway, glad you're enjoying yours. Keep us posted.

Yea...Howard's actual last name is Dumble...not dumb bell. Not even sure if he's still around but he was always in pretty poor health. Strangely enough a doctor pal (Gil Johnson) from my home town was...may still be for all I know...Howard's personal doc for many years. I have never been a card carrying member of the Dumble fan club...tho a couple (Larry Carlton and Robben Ford) of my idols are. But yes, there are already Dumble profiles in the Kemper. It's pretty scary.

So does it really sound like everyone else's Kemper?




Accurate to the last bit... ;-)
 
'cept this one goes to 11.

Congrats myolpay!!
 
I sure am liking the Kemper rack unit.
For the last few years Cakewalk has done a good job
at saving me money.
Maybe it won't be long and I'll know if they are going to
change my attitude or if I need to find out if (PT) will inspire me again.
 
As a guitarist (not dealing with recording studio aspects such as yourself) I'm sure attracted to what PT is doing with Eleven- not to mention many other "game changing" changes they are making.
Interested to see how Cake handles/addresses or doesn't address such things because it does effect other choices such as hardware...as I prefer minimal hardware useage the integration with the host is very cool and hard for me to ignore.

The guy that I bought the KPA from also had an Eleven rack which he was selling.  He said he'd heard they were discontinuing it.  Go figure. 
 
Next up is getting the 12 or so profiles I yearn for from the amp factory.  And when I get the new room set up downtown...profiling my Egnater.  Whoo hoo!
