I noticed something weird in MK guitar sound in the very first concert IN Barcelona , like lot of distorsión, no clean sound on their guitars but very dirty, and I didn't know he was using Kemper. But I knew there was something different.

For me that song ruined the solos in STP, usually very clean and shiny, but it was rough, dirty, I didn't like it.

I know many people wouldn't notice anything at all, also many people doesn't know the difference between any guitar Richard uses or even what a bass is.
You might get lucky, now and then

I'd buy it too if I'd have enough money! Your main point is that artists of Mark's calibre shouldn't use modulating amps, and I agree.

Yes, that's my only point
Which shows did you see on the 2019 tour?

Milan + Verona
Apologies, it was meant for Quizzy as the biggest Kember hater.

And how exactly do we know that he used a Kemper here?

Right.


Half full, half empty. Always safe to go for the pessimistic, negative option, I guess.

I couldn't care less what he used in a song I will never listen to again, I was talking mainly about the last tour and as a consequence the future tours also

Only one person has come up with that theory, the overall feedback for this collaboration has been overwhelmingly positive.

Email received this afternoon from Joe Bonamasa (not personally!) But it's the weekly Sunday Cup of Joe email where he sends a video of anything he likes - today's is Dion featuring MK!!! Nice....

EVERYONE has a right to an opinion on here but personally I couldn't sense any bullying...We have to accept that some including me aren't fussed whether a Kemper is used or not although I prefer older tube amps but it is MKs choice at the end of the day isn't it?!
