“I’ve been using these amps for a long while. There was one show, I think it was a festival in Korea where I had to use a Kemper, but I didn’t really have time to profile or program it like these guys did and I couldn’t find the exact sound I was after.

I like my analogue amps and pedals because I understand them. I can see the parameters and adjust them on the fly.”
