My Neighbour got this thing. He is a studio guy. He will sell most of his old equipment now. THis thing here is all he needs. I played around for 1-2 h with that thing and believe me it is amaaaaazing. It really makes such perfect copies of your amps that you wont need the amps any longer. However it has no real power amp so live you need to run it through a PA. Anyway we profiled a dumble clone (ceriatone) and a 65 Amps Empire. Both are really boutique.
The profiles were hardly distinguishable from the original. Ammmaaazing

For you guys that do studio work that thing is just incredible. Some stuff sucks though (slightly instable software, no power amp ) but I guess firmware upgrades will help.

How long have you spent with the Axe Fx, it takes time to learn (there are a lot of parameters for tweaking). Then you factor in the studio quality effects as well, I wouldn't say the Kemper wins easily.

I'm not saying the Kemper is rubbish by any means it sounds great. I don't like the look of it, and can't see why it wasn't made in rack format.

ok lets be precise. The amp section alone, sounds imo a lot better in the kemper. Also the equalization and tone shaping is really good. You can def. change the tonal characteristics of your profiles in an absolute musical and organic sounding way. The FX section of the axe FX is no doubt way better than the kemper FX. The Kemper more or less simulates stomp boxes which means they are modeled in the chain before the amp. However the reverbs are really nice and lush. The dist. pedals are ok but not incredibly detailed. But the Kemper also has an FX loop so you can use external FX as my buddy does. Anyway I agree the thing looks not very pleasing. However, he puts it on top of his rack which leads to many questions after concerts according to him smile.gif. So using the Kemper for the amps and the FX from the Axe FX is the ultimate combination.
