I've turned on my tube amp once since I got my Kemper stage. The Kemper is better for me because I play it every day if I have time. I never get bored with it. Amps are really just not practical, too loud for the situation and lose their tone when attenuated or master volumed.Having been an Axe Fx player since 2011, I’ve heard every possible angle on this controversy. The simple truth of the modeler vs the modeled is yes, no, and it’s six of one / a half dozen of the other. It’s more about the player than it is the equipment.
I love my modeler, currently the Axe Fx III. It is my gig rig, because it meets my gigging needs. I also have a wall of tube amps, several of which are modeled in the III. When I’m home, I usually play on those. I could swap that around and be just peachy. The modeler is awesome, and there also something inspiring about playing on a tube amp with the glass glowing. For me, it’s never been either/or, any more than I have to choose one type of guitar.
This question is as unanswerable as “is a Les Paul better than ???” or “is a Strat better than a Tele?” or any of a variety of other intentionally controversial equipment comparisons that are intended to get the Hatfields and McCoys feuding again. I know it’s the internet, I get it. It’s just tired. Sooner or later these content producers are going to have to plow some fresh ground.
What’s best for you is what you think is best.
No it's new. This guy talks about Kempers on his channel.It's a scam! That's the same exact video I saw 20 years ago, but with the original Line 6 POD in it. All they did was substitute the Kemper in where the POD was in the old video. Yeah, that's it alright. I'm not falling for a banana in the tail pipe!
Yes, this Kone/speaker employs a whizzer cone. It has been specifically designed for the software.Yeah I've heard about those Kones. I guess I could get a Kemper speaker with that. The speaker has a whizzer cone. I remember those from old speakers in the day.
That's got great reviews!When using the Axe Fx, I use a CLR MK II Neo mostly, but for years used an RCF NX12SMA. Either are great sounding powered FRFR monitors for use with a modeler.
Yes, both are gig-worthy... used the RCF 4 years straight, now on my 3rd with the CLR. They both sound great to me.That's got great reviews!
That was a joke. Keep up. Like Boogie said, I’ve seen all this before. So many times I didn’t bother watching it for long.No it's new. This guy talks about Kempers on his channel.
