Hi guys,
Flavius here and nice to meet you.
I play guitar for 22 years now and I'm coming from traditional Guitar Heads /cabinets. My last cabinet was a Mesa Boogie lone star Special which I sold already.
First of all Kemper is amazing. I heard it in 2014 at someone's home and I considered it a total crap at that time but that was because the guy did not know how to use it....But now I can not leave without it. What I like the most compared to the other brands at the market is "Endless options". In order to like Kemper you need to understand that knobs tweaking is a must.
So for the distorted sounds i think Kemper it's brilliant. For the clean sounds I am still struggling to find a perfect tone. In general I hear some kind of "plastic" tone when I play on clean rigs.
I own an american stratocaster hss with AT-1 humbucker.
The sad part is that even if the exchange forum is full of rigs and also there are a lot of good profilers out there that sell brilliant tones, it all depends on the guitar you have.
Many rigs will not sound ok for your guitar/pickup combination. And this is where digging starts. You have to find a good profiler guy that has similar guitar in order to obtain a good tone. Maybe I am a newbie or maybe I am wrong, but this is just what I noticed.
I decided to go for the profiler and the remote even if the stage was already released. This is because I want to have it in my face to tweak buttons and stuff. But because of the kemper remote connection cable issues I am having second thoughts now. I am a professional live player and I am afraid that the remote connection will be a problem
Feel free to give comments/remarks.
Thanks
