The time has come-AxeFx or Kemper Profiler?

[flyinguitars]

Did you get the remote foot controller too? Are you using a traditional pedal board with the KPA?

If your asking me, no I don't have the foot controller. I am going to get one probably this week. I just got the kemper last week and wanted to try it live first. My son liked my tone so much last night....now he wants a kemper...lol. he has been using a couple 100 watt jcm 800s with a line 6 head for effects. But he has to crank the jcm 800s so loud. He will be gettinga kemper in the next month or two..lol

Welcome to the wonderful world of high end Modelers/profilers flyingutars! It's a wonderful world ! When you guys record, you'll really see the benefits of having one.

Sonvolt just buy one. $You're rich$.

 

[SonVolt]

Bitch, I ain't rich. So if I wanted a small setup that would sit beside a computer desk what would you get? Powered Kemper with a 1x12? Which 1x12?

I do have a Mesa Mark IV 1x12 combo with a Black Shadow speaker in it, I wonder if I could unplug the speaker and run it into the Kemper?

That's a FRFR speaker right? Seems like what I'm reading here is that the Kemnper sounds best powered through a real speaker cab?

How are you running yours?

In my opinion you need both. FRFR and a real cab. I have a 412 and nice studio monitors for my setup.

from what I can tell, the kemper helps you sound
like everybody else, but the AX helps you find your OWN sound.

there are also amp sim's on the FX too.

 

[SonVolt]

I have an FX8 that is my primary effects rig, love it. With amp sims though simple is better for me. I don't like tweaking.

Nope. The Kemper helps you sound like you're playing through the actual amp.

I hadn’t updated my Profiler in about a year.
What should I look for and try out thats new: effects etc.

Honeymoon still hasn't ended with the AxeFx 3. I wouldn't use this thing live, but for dicking around the computer it's freakin' incredible.

Once you’ve used one in a live situation it’s hard to go back to the dinosaur rig.

 

[Mike_LA]

the AxeFx 3. I wouldn't use this thing live

Umm, why?

 

[SonVolt]

Maybe I would, I've never had the luxury to try it. I've been playing through studio monitors (that's why I bought it), and while it sounds killer sitting at the computer, it's a very difference experience than standing in front of a half stack. I think I would still prefer a real rig when playing with a drummer. My use-case was never live though so the point is moot. It's 100% worth every penny for me.
