Kemper Amps Forum

Have you Profiled an Axe-FX11 amp sim yet?

Quoted from "Armin"

I am currently profiling all the AxeFX II amp demo presets (00-42) .... will take some more days

Brilliant!!!

How much you charging for the set of Axe-FX11 profiles?

Nice one Armin. I never thought to do that before I sent my axefx2 back!

Your EVH profiles are excellent, thanks for sharing them.
Keep using that Palmer you used to Profile, keep the Profiles coming, please.

Have you done any recordings with your KPA, besides the recording you did of the amp/cab and KPA into the Atomic?

Thanks for taking the time to make the Axe-FX11 Profiles, but, I don't expect much from them because the Kemper sound/audio/tone/clarity/dynamics/feel/touch/ quality is better than the Axe-FX11...it's clear to hear., it's been confirmed by anyone who owns or who's played both units.

You haven't confirmed it yet because that's not what you do, you remain "neutral", you have to.

i own the 2 machine at home, the Kemper isn't superior to the Axe II, he's essentially less expensive, easier to set up and give very close results. Then, it's 2 different concept, the Axe is an amp simulator, the Kemper take a "picture" of a particular amp setting and gives you some options to play around.
The Kemper bandwith seems more restricted (lack of sparkle highs), yet, it's not usable for live set (midi bugs...). If you play it on a real guitar cab (and desactivate the speaker simulation) the results are ok, but not fantastic (compared to cheaper solution). The solution to avoid this is to make a profile with just a load box and no guitar cab, then when you use a guitare cab, it's much better and natural sounding. Whatever, I have some doubt if you have to face a real amp on a gig that you will be really "hear-able" due to the sound signature of the Kemper. So... different machines
Today, if i have to take one for a live gig, it's the AXE II. i've been very septical about Axe II, because i didn't hear much difference with my previous ultra (played at home and live). I ordered it just to give it a try and finally, it stays at home. I was more expecting from the Kemper, and on some point, the kemper is a little bit disapointing, but as it's the beginning and many things still have to be tested/added/done, it deserve a chance.
The Kemper is a fantastic tool for home studio, gives exellent results for jazz, blues, pop, rock, hard rock but if you're going in faster stuff you may notice that there's something strange.
There's something wrong in the attack when fast playing soloing, kind of latency, lack of punch, i don't know exactly, but it's not like a real amp. The axe is much better on that point.
Whatever, the Kemper, is a good investment, effects are cool, it sounds very "musical" and until your are not a shred/speed/metal/trash exclusive guy, you will find what you're looking for, and most of all, it's easy.
The Kemper seems to prefer guitars with moderate output level.
PS : i'm a very critical guy, so if you think my post is negative, no it's not... just that my job is to detects what's wrong on product so i use to spend more time on what's negative than positive.

Not wishing to start an argument, we all have different opinions, but those sparkle highs on the axefx are (in my opinion) one of the faults with it (too accentuated, not at all like a real amp) Has been right since the beginning, and up until recent firmwares there was a recommended eq setting to get rid of them.
It has improved a lot recently but ,again in my opinion, remains.
