Excuse if wrong sub.
Just want to share my experience going from Kemper to Marshall.
Kemper/AxeFX ect are great platforms indeed and sound ace! BUT since moving to all valve Marshall (SC20H) it’s been a real eye opener. Modelling is very forgiving with your playing, notes blend into one, tonal range is balance no mid hump (I’ll get onto that) all with excellent balanced stereo coming through studio monitors often.
Upon getting the Marshall it has really made me work harder and progress as a player. That mid range is very unforgiving in Marshall. I LOVE IT! That is what pushing the amp to cut through a band and exactly where the tonal range of the guitar fits in a band situation. It’s intimidating and hard to play a Marshall with a 4/12 loud. For that reason I believe it really makes you a better player. Everything is under a microscope. It’s made me appreciate people like EVH even more playing a plexi with very little drive and keeping everything so precise, clean and retaining swing, groove and impeccable timing. Just golden stuff.
So anyone that wants to go back old school and go valves I highly recommend it. Especially combined with Captor X ect, best of both worlds.
Marshall you rock!
