@@wesleygamarra2125used to be the weak link, but they updated to Eventide quality effects (and i have a Kemper and a high end eventide to compare). Kemper is it for me. Still have all my tube amps though. They are fun.
@@wesleygamarra2125most people say they are on par with the competition now, I started using back in 2020 so the effects were already really good by then. Last I heard the Quad Cortex was the only modeler people were complaining about the lack of good effects outside of reverbs and delays.
I own quite some vintage tube amps and bought a Kemper back in 2014. It was so awesome to be able to have that great studio amp sound on headphone for practicing at night. Normal electronics get obsolete after a few updates because it can’t keep up and gets too sluggish to use ( like your iPhone):. Not the Kemper! Even today they are publishing updates and new functionality that keeps your kemper relevant. That’s so awesome
Hmm, QC and ToneX both right up there (hardware) … then you have NAM profiler, too … As for Hardware Modelers, Fractal seems almost peerless … with the new Femder TM Pro only really surpassing it for Fender amp models, and User Interface, imho … I tend to prefer the Profilers > Modelers. Modelers are fine if you just want metalz soundz, though …
It makes sense. I have two - a Stage and a powered head + remote. I use the same OS, the same profiles on both. The stage is much newer but the only practical difference really is that the head takes longer to boot up. Wonderful units. And laid out logically. Not a big learning curve.
I've owned multiple Fractals, a Quad Cortex, Line6 Stomp, and a Kemper rack. I switched to plugins a couple of years ago, but find myself looking at Kempers again. Of all of the modelers, Kemper feels the most like a real amp. I'm wondering how many people out there left Kemper - only to come back to it later.
I have a kemper stage for live use and have a kemper rack for my home studio and simply love it ! It has something that my axe II didint have Sure a lot of people are going to say dude the QC and tonex pedal sounds wayyyy better but i mean … at the end of the day i love my tone … why change it ?
Love my kemper, my the definition or clarity knob really do it for me in terms of dialing in tone across different guitars with different pickups. Beyond that the Kemper has so many different outputs and inputs and routing options that it’s really versatile in any situation
I know it’s unrelated, but I just wanted to comment you guys make AWESOME plugins. The Disruptr plugin is literally the absolute best metal plugin I’ve ever heard for low tunings.
@@joeymusic I was thinking of getting a kemper stage since I’m a bedroom musician over the other solutions in the hardware space, but for real: the Disruptr plugin is really the first plugin (and I’ve used a LOT) that brought my 7 string to life.
Using the Kemoer for 8 years by now. Mostly in the studio, I just love it. At least for guitars. For bass I still just use a Di and Sansamp. For live use, I just got a Quad Cortex. For me its easier to use live, the tweaking is easier on the fly. I think of the QC More of a digital pedalboard as like an amp if thats make sense. So the Kemper is still in my studio rack, got used for reamping alot.The QC is replacing my pedalboard/amp for live use.
I’m a bassist and have been considering going modeler/profiler, do you not like the tones for bass on the Kemper? Or do you just go sansamp out of preference? I’ve mainly wanted a modeler/profiler because then if I pick up a guitar I won’t have to get a guitar rig or pedalboard for it and use the same unit for bass and guitar, but I am much more of a bassist.
@@Kraz3e987 the Kemper is a great recording tool, especially for guitar. But at least the Bass profiles I own aren’t that great. (Not found the right ones I guess) I’m very happy with the quad cortex for bass. It’s easier to control and get the tones I want. Use it in many different scenarios. Pop, Hiphop and metal. The FoH guys were happier than ever. The Sansamp is still on my board, as a direct tone shaping option and as a backup if anything fails. The QC is even better for guitar :)
So yes, after owning most of the ones you've mentioned and using them in both studio and live applications, there are differences between the Kemper and todays most popular gear like the QC/AxeFx/etc, but you are quite right in that in a FULLY produced mix/mastered track it'd be almost impossible to tell the difference accurately. The Kemper shines in many areas, chief being the community, rig manager app and the near constant updates, but as more gear comes out unfortunately more and more people will opt for those newer pieces of gear just on merit of it being new leaving the Kemper to be looked at more as a vintage piece than anything else.
"both happen to sound awesome because it's 2023, all this stuff sounds great" this is exactly how I feel. I adore my axe fx and think it's the best option, however, I also think a buyer can't go wrong with all of the amazing options.
Thank God I switched to Fractal a couple of years ago. Kemper is like a pod compared to Fractal, note only tone-wise but in terms of build quality too. Kemper was freezing once a month, never had a simple crash with the Fm3. And the tone and the feel...so much better.
Kemper went all-in giving the best hardware they possibly can, then remained committed to upgrading software continually. One of the best values in music gear out there.
Kemper is best for me, next to the actual amps. But, you gotta buy professional studio profiles to hear what it can do. And use the secondary para eq to tweek. Sounds amazing as my actual Fryette, Mesa, Marshall and Fender amps.
@@joeymusic I did. But what convinced me more was a buddy of mine got the Tonex and we compared it to the Kemper. Although it was a new system and software, I was attracted more to the minimalistic approach it had and the fact that I hadn't used my Powerhead to its fullest extent in years.
I use a Kemper. They are a great value, especially on the used market. My GAS craves an Axe FX, but it would just be an addition, not a replacement. I still use plugins to demo at home, but any "real" recordings happen through the Kemper.
i have the Headrush MX5. its pretty incredible unit. I probably wont buy a Kemper simply because i already have a unit that does what i want it to. I do, however, want the new Headrush Prime because it does has modeling technology now. It comes from Audio Media Research's Revalver . It also has Vocal FX stuff. you can plug in a microphone and it has tons of vocal FX like vocoder. You can also do 2 signal chains at once. Kemper im sure is great. They are all great really with the technology that's out. Tone X is really good from what i understand. My thoughts is Kemper, Axe Fx, Helix, Headrush or whatever other ones out there will do a fine job. Get one that best suits your needs.
I don't use any modelers, I use a tube amp with an IR. But if I was buying a modeling amp, the Kemper would definitely not be at the top of my list. There are comparable units out now for a fraction of the price, like Tonex. If I was using it in the studio, the plugin would be enough. No need for hardware. And for live use I'd just get the pedal. In a blind test, there is almost no difference, and the Tonex is smaller and seems to be more intuitive to use. Now, if I already owned a kemper, I probably would just stick with it. It does still sound great. But buying a new one? Not for that kind of money.
IMO, the main (but big) downside of the kemper in the studio is that you can't monitor and reamp left and right DI at the same time. This makes me use mine less and less, and I might sell soon.
Hey bud , it’s on the market for more than 10 years now , unchanged . Where the competition has put out numerous new products in that time Kemper didn’t have to update the hardware to stay relevant.
Kemper is coming out very soon with liquid profiling. Let's say I have a Vox AC30 as my amp. I can change the tone stack (pre-amp) with a Fender, Marshall, Matchless, or any amp I choose in my Kemper, and that offers many more choices. Also, very soon I will be able to plug in my Kemper to my computer with a USB cable to record in my DAW. There is no need for the interface connection. I see a lot of pro guitar and bass players using Kempers in the studio and live.
Bought one in 2014, sold it in 2023. Sellers remorse kicked in so I am buying another in 2024 lol. Only sold it to clear some rack space. I won’t make that same mistake again lol.
Negative: After owning way more profiles than I'd like to admit, there are far too many options lol. With that in mind, if you produce, it's very easy to get sucked into that "tone spiral" very quickly. "Ok, now let's try another profile in the mix!" If all you do is jam, it's great. You'll find what you want. But if you mix and etc, searching for that elusive "perfect tone" will be a beast as there is no such thing as the perfect tone. This is why amps will always have their place in the market. You make a choice and go with it. No more chasing.
I see Kemper like I see Adat ... a transitional product. A huge amount of Adat tapes were sold and used in the 90's, but ALL of those tapes today are only a backup, and none are in use. The only thing surviving from Adat today is their very useful Input cabling format. And where is the Vox Guitar with all the built-In FX? ... Transitional ... THAT might actually come back.
Well reasoned, early Kempers will soon be increasing in price as "vintage" models: I'm holding out for the handwired special version! Any chance of losing some of the jump edits by the way, they really break the flow. A.
the friedman ir x is the new kemper slayer designed by evh's personal tech not a fucking keyboard player ,with real tubes and great tones out of the box .sounds way better and more natural than any modeler could ever sound, can work with your favorite effects and with a power amp and speaker and has an effects loop .
keep waiting for the next update to magically solve all the tone issues with this computer. the digital compression inherent in every sound the lack of warmth and presence, kids these days have no idea about plug and play or how to build their own tone in a simple way, instead they just fuck around on a screen with endless mediocre post production options created by someone else, wasting their time on a flawed system created by a keyboard player.i work on live gigs and in some bands young players are forced to work without an amp ,they have no idea about working with a good amp live and many players sound the same on michael britt's presets. shhhsshhhhsshhhhhh ! it's a quiet stage ! there is a rock concert!
@@joeymusic Alright, so: Yes, still happy with my Kemper. Great video as always Miami! I heavily agree that it's a bit complex to get into it and understanding the mechanics and possibilities of the Kemper but once you are familiar with it, it's really awesome. I never tried an AxeFX or the Quad Cortex but I tried a bunch of amp sims like Neural DSP or ToneHub and I never really liked the tone of those. That's most likely because I'm not that advanced when it comes to mixing but it still feels easier to me to get it right with my Kemper. So if anyone got that far in my comment and rambling: I can highly recommend the Kemper! Oh and Miami. I know it's a bit rude but any chance you could listen to one of my projects and maybe show me a direction on how to improve my mix? I'd really appreciate this! Cheers!
"They can come in and turn knobs, and turn the gain up..." ....not really. Kemper profiles are a snapshot of an amp in particular settings. As soon as you start messing with the eq, which has no relation to the actual amp's eq, nevermind the gain, which is only a poorly-emulated adjustment, then you get away from that snapshot. You need a snapshot for every particular setting you might want. And you may need snapshots with and without power amp emulation baked in. And that is why component-level emulation is much better. Saying the Kemper is the "most accurate" and that you'd not be able to tell the difference with a blind-fold is a bit silly as well. All things being equal, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference with an Axe FX properly dialed in either, and their component-level modelling is not only arguably the best in the business, but you aren't stuck with a snapshot of an amp. Neural Amp Modeller does a fantastic job as well. Again we're back to a snapshot then, however, it's literally free. If someone creates companion hardware designed for running NAM, it'll be incredible. This is a great time to be a guitarist.
I've owned the Kemper since 2019 and love it. The recent addition of liquid profiles has made it even more useful.
How’s the quality of the effects now? I’ve hear that was the weak side of the Kemper
