Great comparisons, - as a suggestion, would be great to hear how people react to the tones coming through a guitar cab, rather than the mixing desk/phones - i.e., how close do the modelers get in a "live" situation. I hate it when people talk about "amp in the room" blah blah blah... but I use Kemper primarily as a live tool these days. It still won't replace my deluxe reverb, but curious to see how others perceive the "live" tones in Kemper vs. the real thing... P.S. - just did a shootout of Kemper vs. FM9 vs. TMP, and to my ears Kemper still has the most real sound and feel thru a guitar cab (although the others are not far off).
I mean, the obvious debate on emulatio of tubes not feeling/sounding like the real thing. So maybe an Ampeg B-15 or the SVT-CL head. Even the SGT-DI could enter the shootout. @@deadbeatstudios
Please do many more of these Kemper AB tests. Most of the ones online are from when the Kemper first came out. But that was before a lot of Kemper improvements.
I'd like to see a Peavey Valveking 100 contrasted against either the JCM 800, 900 or DSL100H. I own a VK myself and believe it comes very close to the tone of a Marshall with the bass lowered at about quarter with presence and resonance adjusted. There literally no videos TH-cam which makes the comparison, there's only one old video of a VK 112 combo against a Marshall Haze.
What's next, a plastic toy guitar ? You could plug in a cheap $100 guitar into a profile amp, and it would sound the same as if you plugged in Jimmy Page's '59 Les Paul. A profile amp loses all the resonance, sustain, feedback, tone, or lack of such, from the hardware. It eliminates the instrument quality from the equation. So a Stratavarius violin would sound same as kid's Playskool toy violin. Nobody with a good ear will take you seriously, playing through a profiler amp. It's been described as sounding like a swarm of bees.
No one with a good ear will take you seriously? Homie, most of the people you listen to are using these things live and often in studio. You don't even realize how many albums youve heard modelers on at this point

Yes keep them coming. The amps I love are voxes and plexis. That's it 😊.

Oh absolutely. These videos area wesome. Also bass version too!
Absolutely. What bass amps should we shoot out?

@@deadbeatstudiosFor bass, how about a GK and a Mesa Bass 400+ or any SVT really.

Excellent video. 👋👍
cool idea! Make a similar vid, but with Quad Cortex

yes please do the same with mesa and diezel amps vs kemper!!!
Would be great with ToneX comparison
I thought your cousin was your brother 😅😅
