Kemper Amps Forum

Yes should be interesting, although the example so far still sound like an AxeFX to me rather than an amp, just with matcheq on it, but that's probably because it's just a small group of beta testers, usually takes a while for the general userbase to get it and start getting some better examples out there.

Boring...

...Lance, behave yourself....

Just upgraded to v6. It's certainly an improvement over the previous FW. I've not looked at eq matching/cloning at all I just wanted to test a couple of dry amps, into my Matrix into my 2x12 Marshall cab. Initial impressions are that I still prefer the KPA for pure amp tones but I need to hook them up side by side tomorrow and crank them both a little, it's not a fair test at low volumes. The new JCM800 model does rock though, might have to profile it into the KPA

I was seriously hoping that this firmware would convince me not to sell my AxeFX but the jury is still out for now.

.....just curious what is the "improvement" soundwise verses the last Firmware (which was the greatest update....since their last update)?

I would say it a feel thing, the amps in the previous firmware seemed a little clinical, the new firmware seems a little bit more open and they feel better to play. Some of the amps have had a complete overhaul and you can tell. the Uber used to have far too much lowend for me, the new model sounds much better. You can crank the volume more on the high gain models without everything sounding shitty. As I say I've only spent about 1 hours with it so I can't say for sure.

... You're telling me! I was almost lapidated when (at the release of 5.0) I dared to write on that forum that there would have been further improvements in the future for sure. I was responding - go figure - to a guy who had written that FAS could have stopped any further software improvement at that stage, because it couldn't have sounded any better. LOL

Talibans are everywhere. Let's hope to keep them out of here :/

ehh tone matching sounds like an ok feature, but if it doesn't sound real I'm not interested. I can do my own eqing. If kemper adds it I won't complain, but I don't see myself using it much.

I have a feeling that Christoph will be smart enough not to play along and include tone matching.
I mean, I'd love to have it in my KPA as it would be a nice feature to have... but...
Honestly, do we really need to copy tones to justify the KPA? Profiling is much more complicated and realistic in a sense than tone matching... not to mention that I doubt that there would be 101123143423 isolated guitar tracks to match tones from... maybe you can find a couple hundreds, but that's all.
And, again, profiling is a lot higher level of this kind of thing.
