What's the XL version?
More presets, more memory, more money.
There is an internal backup feature in case an upgrade fails. That's cool.
And as an extra feature: this 3000 USD includes continuous firmware upgrades that will significantly improve/alter the tone over and over again. So do not worry if it does not sound good out of the box. It will be closer to the real thing in a few weeks. Or maybe it will still sound bad but in a much better way. And in a few months it will be probably very very good and improved. And after a few more MAJOR FW revisions, it will be a game changer for sure! ... Well, until it will get even better than that. And better, and better, and better,...
I can't tell you HOW many posts I read on TGP this past year assuring everyone that NO upgrade to the FXII was going to happen for quite a while, some saying as long as 2 years.
That's the side effect of fanboyism: detachment from reality
More presets, more memory, more money.
metallica needs this....
Never been a fan of the group or the genre.
That said, from all the Metal demo's I hear from Kemper players, that's gotta be the worst tone I've ever heard.
You can blame the techies or the technology but the group deserves fault for not caring enough about their sound.
No excuse for a band THAT big to be caught with their tone pants down.
Maybe know we can hear the difference between live and playback
Sounds really bad!!

I'm curious if this will alienate the FAS user base.
I mean, suddenly you don't possess the 'latest and greatest' any longer...
It's the same as with the smartphones
I'll be surprised if the XL really takes off that well.
Sure, the fanboys will bite. So will the guys who just can't seem to live without the latest and greatest and seem to have a never-ending supply of $ for gear.
But, for the average Joe, it just doesn't offer enough to shell out a few hundred more bucks. This is NOT an Axe III. It's just a II with a few added features...features that the average user wouldn't get a ton of use from. I'm betting most will stick with their IIs until the next generation comes along.

well the funny thing is they did a post bragging about some fractal guy 'tone matching' some master recordings etc etc getting the sound they wanted with their techs....lol
That was horrible. I don't like Metallica anyway, but their grammy performance was terrible.
Also, Lars needs to shave it off. What's up with the Mullet and balding up front. Dude, you're losing your hair and you're old. Be a man and shave it off...

below the belt as well....
The tone in that performance (and others I've seen recently) from the Metallica boys has been a bit poor.
Probably a combination of the gear they're using and perhaps the fact that they might be losing it a bit? Who knows...

You are wrong as fanboys are.
It will have new op amps in the signal path and new input.(new secret sauce)
It would be a miracle if the XL sounds like the standard version.
The modelisation will be feed by a different signal and it can make a new game IMO.

How do I say BS in French?

I don't care what he does below the belt. If he wants to shave down there, so be it. I just suggest shaving off the mullet do to lack of hair. It looks terrible and he's past middle age. It's time to give it up. He needs to act his age.
I still dislike him over the whole Napster ordeal. Guy needs to grow up.

Shut up or you will say another stupid thing.
