How do you like the Kemper? If that’s what you kept I have to imagine it’s pretty good.

I have been through a lot of guitar gear and the Kemper is the only thing I have never considered selling. Once you get to grips with interface it’s fantastic

So do I. Bought it in 2012 and use it daily for teaching, productions and gigs.
I would like to use an amp again but it is so much quicker…

I love it. Paired with the Mission Gemini 2 it’s great with the band, but still a heavy rig. At home it’s absolutely perfect. Big bonus was that I bought a cheap Squier Bass VI with flatwounds and it sounds incredible with the Kemper bass profiles.

I have been tempted by the Gemini for a long while - does that work out for you at home too?

getting back into guitar for the first time since high school, and using pedals for the first time ever basically. dirty haggard’s BLM gated fuzz-ish pedal, into analog delay into tape delay lol. thinking about trying to use the hors d’oeuvres? to interface with modular but haven’t really done that yet…

not pictured is my cheapo schecter into these and sometimes using my slightly broken amp, but usually with headphones, and I actually like the sound of going straight into my bastl dude as my headphone amp lol—if i had a better amp and didn’t feel the need to use headphones in my apartment I think it would make a difference, but as it is I can’t really tell. Just gotta be careful with my ears with that fuzz :metal: :weary:

like others here, i have almost totally ignored my guitar rig for quite some time. recently i got it in my head to re-tool my setup for a thing i used to do more of, but sans tape machine, because i’m too old and tired to lug that thing around, and really i could probably do what i want in a pinch with maybe 3 of these… guitar pedals sure have come a long way in even the last 5 years it seems. at any rate, i’ve pretty accurately recreated that set up, along with a few new buds in the mix to apply some ideas that i’ve picked up/out from recent experience in the modular world to spice it up a little. its not perfect, but it gets me where i want to go for now more or less.

Telecaster and Milkman… I have a bunch of guitars and amps, but this is it. Pedal board when I need it. (Clearly set up for the last Bowie cover gig that I did)

Tim’s amps are the best in the game, in my humble opinion. Beautiful rig!

Yeah, I came across them, via a pedal steel site, when he had just started building . Bought one in the first year of production. Everything else sees limited use since then, including the '64 Deluxe Reverb. Zoom in to the upper left corner below the normal channel jacks. The hole is from a .22 bullet… the result of a bar fight breaking out in a Texas honky tonk during a gig.

i’m into it - that is a loaner actually (tip of the cap to @mattlowery) - and mainly its put to use as i can’t fire up either of my sunns in my apartment.

it was sort of a toss up between that and iridium but i’m 100% a fan of the greer soma pre, and i can’t imagine i would put the amp modeling to use otherwise. the stereo mic thing is a little wonky to get set up in a way that doesn’t sound weird to me in a stereo field, so right now i just have it set up as two discrete 12" jensens and then panning those somewhat at the mixer for a stereo fender deluxe/brownface vibe. works for me!

How do you like that Holdsworth guitar? I’ve been eyeing that for a while. Does the chambered body have an resemblance to a semi-hollow or not even close?

I’m currently considering Cooper FX Arcade with Generation Loss and Grain cards for some lofi/granular explorations. Anybody using setup similar to this?

For anyone using the Strymon Iridium (or something like it), do you route its outputs into an interface when recording? I ask because I’m curious about adding layers of ADC / DAC conversion to the signal chain.

I love arcades! I think Tom’s DSP is really special.

@jkbrogan I do, straight into a MOTU ULTRALITE mk4.

Not strymon iridium (yet? :p) but I plug my pedalboard directly in my audio interface. As soon as you use DSP pedal you already have layers of ADC DAC anyway.

This is exactly how I’m using the Strymon Iridium. Still early days (only had it for a few weeks), but I’m super-happy with it for recording so far. If you have specific questions or you want some audio samples, just let me know :blush:
