Hey guys,
So I am a huge fan of modeling amplication.
I own an Axe FX, Helix and quite a few plugins.
In fact, I haven't owned a tube amp for at least 11 years.
The ones I had were noisy, heavy and inconsistent. lol
From going to digital there was always a quest to find the best tones possible with modeling and we now live in a time when there are a few great sounding options out there.
So far I've been really digging the Kemper.
I akready made 2 songs (rock and metal) which I made a thread for here:
https://www.kemper-amps.com/forum/index.ph…ef-impressions/
I'd say the pro's are that the Kemper can really do super realistic amp tones.
The feel and sound is just THERE.
Once you get a good profile it's just a joy to play.
In comparison it doesn't sound and as 'stiff' as some other modeling platforms.
I've gotten great results so far with studio and merged profiles but for me I started hitting home run when I discovered direct profiles with my trusty OwnHammer IR collection.
I loaded in about 500 of my favorites (still curious as to how much cabs fit in this thing).
This makes getting a great personal sound very easy.
I already tried a lot of commercial and paid profiles out there, as well as a lot of free ones.
A lot of them seem to dark or to thin for my personal taste so looking for a good profile can sometimes be a bit of a search.
Some of the commercial vendors that stand out to me so far are: Sinmix (great profiles with many options, they just work. Amazing for metal), Mattfig has a couple of great ones too (check out the BE100 and Camerica, really dug those) and Double Impact Productions (I really am a fan of the second profile bundle).
Anyway, I'm glad to be here!
