I've got the Nano Cortex and a Kemper Profiler. I agree with your assessment of the NC for the most part, but I will point out that a lot of that brightness can be tamed by using the right cab simulation. My main gripe about the NC isn't the sound, but the workflow and the ecosphere which just isn't up to the Kemper's.
Thabks for the input. In this case I wasn’t using any cab sim. But I can see how it would change things. I ended up sending it back but happy with the Kemper sound at least for now 🤘
I have a Hotone Loudster and the H&K 112 with the V30, what a coincidence i am looking at KPP and nano cortex comparison and sounds from a real cab, let alone the same exact cab and power amp too🥰
Kemper Liquid Profiling is actually the newest most advanced technology...and Leo Gibson proved it in his Nano QC vs Kemper video. When comparing a Capture he made and a Liquid PROFILE he made of his Marshall, when using the Gain and EQ controls on both units the Liquid Profile was 18% more accurate to his Marshall than the Nano QC...he was stunned.
I think the kemper sounds better. I have the nano and like it through my amps effects return. I hate irs, none of them sound like my 57 in front of my cab.
The closest thing I have to an FRFR is the kemper kabinet. Unfortunately it does not work with the nano. So I don’t know. I only tried it through a standard cab V30. Lots of people like their Nanos through FRFR though.
Sorry to hear that the nano hasn't worked out for you. Both the Kemper and the Nano sound great. I've played the Kemper toaster for years through a cab with v30s at home and iem with my band. To be honest I did struggle to get it to sound good through a guitar cab. I now run a Nano through a hotone stage hooked up to a frfr speaker at home and it sounds great. I'm guessing these units just sound best through a frfr speaker. You just happen to have more luck with player in your setup.
I heard another reviewer describe something like I tried to convey. That the nano has a “sheen” on it. I think that may be why it would work with FRFR. Either way, I know it works for people. Ive seen other videos where it sounds great. Thanks for the comment🤘
@@Bearvswolf I have tried both , returned the Nano as it didn't the capabilities I need compared to the kkp . plus I still have the quad cortex . I was just hoping the nano could replace the kemper .
Guitarists fall for the hype about the Kemper being "old technology". It's an algorithm, the power of the chip is irrelevant, it depends how the algorithm was created, and Christophe Kemper just happens to be smarter than the competing engineers...and that's why the Kemper sounds and feels better than the Axe-FX, the QC and the ToneX. Besides the fact that the Kemper FX are brilliant. Try the Spring Reverb, you won't find a better digital SR on the market. The Fuzz system is genius, the Delays and Reverbs and the new Tremelos are brilliant.
You can try to convince yourself that your Kemper is the best thing since sliced bread all you want, but the truth is Kemper is not the best sounding unit on the market. Sorry to burst your bubble mate. It is what it is.
@ I’m not here to convince myself. My decision was an easy one. The nano sounded worse. I bought it thinking it might sound better. As I said in the video it sounded fine plugged into my interface and DAW. But for the application relevant to this video (monitoring it through a cabinet), for me, it was not even close. I didn’t make a video to convince anyone. Just share the results and perhaps get any knowledge on how to make the nano sound better.
Sorry to all the Nano Cortex FanBoys down voting this video...I'm happy you like your Nano🤙 It sounded bad through my setup, not much else to say🤷♂

Agree with your comparison!
Appreciate the comment. Thanks🤘
The Kemper sounds a lot better, more natural. Thanks for the comparison.

Its a great rig👌

Great video🤘

I didnt try it through my amps loop. Maybe I should have tested that. But I didn’t care much for the kemper that way either.
Just get a Suhr Reactive Load box and an amp, you won't regret it. "No Regerts"
@@PainterDans I do have a load box and a Friedman runt. 🤘
Hello, sir what is your opinion on nano cortex + full range speaker it's better? or not. thank you..
The closest thing I have to an FRFR is the kemper kabinet. Unfortunately it does not work with the nano. So I don’t know. I only tried it through a standard cab V30. Lots of people like their Nanos through FRFR though.

cCortex to me sounded better but I keep the kemper
You tried both? Or you mean in the video?
@@Bearvswolf I have tried both , returned the Nano as it didn't the capabilities I need compared to the kkp . plus I still have the quad cortex . I was just hoping the nano could replace the kemper .
I predict Kemper will add the Profiling capability to the Player and it will be free.

I am with you. I thought the stock sounds in tonex were underwhelming. For me Kemper does the job. Thanks for you comments🤘
