I do not visit the fractal forum and TGP frequently. The last time I read some posts of Scott talking about the KPA and I have to say they were all very fair. And after all we live in free countries where everybody can make up opinions on the KPA and Axe.
I think the Axe has the problem that it cannot be tested at music stores, so the opinions on the internet are very important for them. The KPA on the other hand stands for itself because everybody can test it.
In my opinion Cliff and Christoph should try to convince tube amp players to check out thier products not fighting each other because the market of digital guitar amps has a huge potential. However a little bit of fair competition is not a bad thing
Edit:
Finally I think the Axe FX profiles were not the reason for Cliff because his post was on august 21 the incident with the Axe Profiles was already in Jan or Feb.
Maybe there is another company involved otherwise the marketing campaign has to be a secret one which makes no sense at all. So there is no longer a reason for me to write about it
