NEW! EL84 Pack for Kemper
John Grammatico has been building amps for some of music’s biggest stars for years and recently relocated to Nashville where I got the opportunity to meet him and try out many of his amps at his shop. They were all great and each had their own thing going on, whether it be tweed or dumble or trainwreck inspired.
Enter the House of the Dragon!
So it is no great surprise that I’ve used and expressed my appreciation for the tone of 3rd Power Amps over the years. Heck, one of the reasons I first started using the Kemper was so that I could get the sound of my 3rd Power amp in a portable package to take on the […]
Every Time I Think I Know Something…
Every time I think I know something… I’m proven wrong. I’m sure there are many lessons to be had in this realization but, like most humans, I’m reluctant to admit when I’m wrong, except maybe to close friends. What are these things I’ve been wrong about?

MBritt Artist Profile – Nico Schliemann
NAMM is coming up soon and I was reminded of a super awesome guitar player that I met there a couple of years ago. We chatted about tone and Kempers and guitars and man, what a nice dude! Rod Castro was also kind enough to spend a few hours with me when he passed through Nashville this year

What’s my “Secret”?
First of all, let me just state that I think profiles and profiling, although a scientific process, is still a very subjective endeavor. It still relies heavily on how the amp is set and how the speaker is mic’d and each of the individual parts contribute to the overall outcome.
New TONEHUB format tones
As most of you already know, I’m kind of a Kemper guy. I also make presets for other devices (Atomic Amplifire, Line 6 Helix, HX Stomp, POD Go) as well as IRs. I’m always looking for ways to help players get usable tones from digital devices for a few reasons.
