I just (finally) sold my last tube amp, a Marshall DSL100 head this week, my Vox NT50 last week and my 2x12's before that which leaves me with just a Kemper and a 2x12".
The proceeds will go towards a new Kemper Stage as I have gotten sick of lugging stacks of heavy gear around. Even my 19" Kemper just feels like too much heavy shit with its rack case and I don't even need the firepower anymore as everything we do is direct and on in-ears.
It's not that I don't like tube amps anymore, or that I don't foresee another one for me in the future (I'd still like to get another AC4/10 down the line or maybe build one as a winter project) but I live in a small house now and hadn't turned on any tube amp in a few years because I couldn't turn it up past 2 at most. All my playing has strictly been Kemper or Garageband.
Gone are the days of lugging around a huge pedalboard and tube amps! Long live carrying all my gear in one trip!
So this is a eulogy to all my long lost amp and pedals:
I love you, but I'm glad I don't have to carry you anymore!
In loving memory of:




Have any of you gone digital too? How did it go?
