KPA vs AxeFx II

My AxeFx Ultra was the second device in Europe and I got one of the first AxeFx II as well (own it since July 2011) - since one week I own the KPA.

I talked a lot about both boxes in the Fractal Forum - in case someone is interested:

I have subscribed the G3 thread from the beginning

Even if I don't get this permanent "A vs. B" subject I am curious about your decision when it comes to the end of the 30 day money back time frame.
I would not bet any money that you keep the Kemper. Close as I can figure it you are more an audio engineer and scientist than guitarist (no offense).

My opinion.

Why do a Kemper review on the Fractal Forum (if I were Cliff or Scott I wouldn't have allowed it), and why link an Axe-FX11 review on the Kemper Forum...doesn't make sense to me?

Last thing I want to do is read about the Axe-FX11 on the Kemper forum, it's enough I've been subjected to 6 years of Axe-FX brainwashing on The Gear Page.

Quoted from "Guitartone"

Last thing I want to do is read about the Axe-FX11 on the Kemper forum,

Exception! I want some more profiles from the amp models in the Axe II, the one of the Mesa Mk II was really good!! It looks like the Kemper version of it has more air in it, sounds warmer and the string separation is better...curious to see more of it....

The most important post on that thread.....

-I have profiled a VHT(Fryette) Super 30 combo, but just only the premp,no power amp,no speaker.

Then I connected via a good loop box to the return of the combo, the original preamp and the profiled preamp, and switch

between them, so they have the same chance to be heard, from the same power amp & same cab-speaker.

The result is incredible, the profiled preamp sounds and feels
almost like the original, if I can speak % could be 95% & more.(not
100%)

The original was just a little bit more "alive" but just a little bit, to my ears.
