I was alerted to the subject YouTube video by a similar thread that has been posted on TGP Digital Amp forum. Here is the video:
I will be curious to hear everyone's impressions.
I posted my own impressions with the following comment in the YouTube video comments section:

Wow, not even close, IMHO. The Kemper blows both the AmpliFire and the POD away. What is quite interesting , however, is how poor a showing the Atomic AmpliFire made as compared to the old Line 6 POD, especially in the lower gain VOX AC30 comparison. As Rob Chapman and Mr. Anderton have plenty of experience with the AmpliFire (especially Chapman), I don't think one could use the excuse that they didn't have the AmpliFire "properly" dialed in. Another dead give-away is how accurately the Kemper responds to volume and dynamic changes when the guitar's volume pot is rolled back. The POD sounded thin and anemic when the guitar's volume pot was rolled back. I any event, the real interesting (and confusing) aspect of this video comparison was the relative poor showing of the AmpliFire, IMHO.
