... And I found this

"Hmmm. That clip Cliff posted kind of sounds like the one I posted of our new sample rate reduction feature coming in v7.0 .

Yes- They just added this new Lo-Fi effect (just by coincidence)

this forum is no better than the fractal forum (or any other brand forum) if we keep bashing their products/developers here.
the polite and smart way to handle this would be to ignore these kind of comparisons. show them better

We need to maintain our title of "Fully Grown Men™ "

Let's not get distracted from keeping the pressure on our own Kemper team.

In revenge we should start a thread about scientific consideration of fan noise influence on tone.

Did you miss the hidden smiley?

If D is no 11R then K is no Kemper and F is no AFX. That could mean that the K is the AFX and D is the Kemper.

Who cares!

We also could test user errors, fan noise, battery life, screen pixel diyings, skin colour fading, manual thicknis, waitlisting, life time updates, guitar cable inlet quality, etc etc

Won't bring me of gassing for the 3U 19" Kemper

Cliff doesn't mention what KPA firmware version he used for his tests.

He did mention that every device is equipped with the latest official fw.

You're right, so he did. I was scanning for version numbers.

Indeed i have never seen CK posting comparisons to proof that the KPA is better than AFII.
Many users here feel like it does, others don't think so, but that's ok.
In Italy we say "de gustibus non disputandum est", it's a latin expression which means that everybody has his own taste about everything on this world.
I just think that Cliff, as a competitor, has chosen the worse approach, with a direct attack to a competitor.
And that's a shame, since i think that FAS makes awesome products (i owned a standard and an ultra, which are great machines), and i think that they can keep their customers just by improving their stuff.

I don't think that Leo Fender has ever written an article arguing why a Strat is better than and LP, and viceversa.

Very interesting...

So I came from the 11R. I always thought it sounded pretty good and played quite well (just lacked in the hi-gain and gating dept.). I remember back in the day, FAS bashing the 11r as a toy and no where near the Axe. So Axe II comes out and low and behold it now has a configurable hi-z input and a few other things that were on the 11 and not the Axe (usb etc..), go figure... So enter the KPA and low and behold Axe now has tone matching and low fi effect. If the other units are so inferior, why is he copying them?

So I save my pennies and keep reading reviews and listening to sound clips between the Axe and KPA. I have to say the Axe doesn't do a good "crunch", sure it has great effects but the "crunch" just isn't there. So what finally sealed the deal apart from the KPA's superior sound, were the crummy comments from the owner... I won't spend my money to support such crappy behavior to customers.

p.s. Sorry for the long rant... so while I still have a lot of good will with my "D", I prefer the "K" by a huge margin. The "sound" is just there, aliasing hasn't been a problem.

One of my favorite lessons, from a great book - seems appropriate to share it here:

Now, back to enjoying my Kemper!
