Hello all, happy to be here, new Kemper owner, I gig regularly and have used the Axe 2 (many times), Axe Ultra, Eleven Rack and of course real amps for years. Every year I do a simple video recording project with my band to create a promo video and so far digital always sounds better than the real thing. This year I thought I'd give the Kemper a try.
So far I really enjoy the Kemper, I love the UI, it's so much easier to use than the Axe 2, to me it sounds and feels better than the Axe. I'm not a fan of FRFR, I just prefer a real guitar cab onstage, the band I work with uses IEM's as well. I purchased both M Britt profile packs and I'm very happy. The MB stuff is amazing IMHO and he is the reason I purchased the Kemper.
Right now I'm running my Kemper Powerhead through a 2x12 loaded with a V30 and a Creamback H75, I'm very happy with the results. I have a FCB1010 with unoKemper chip on the way and I'm happy to get rid of my much heavier Germino Masonette head and my heavy pedalboard in favor of something lighter.
If you made it this far thanks for reading!!
