Has anyone got both, I just wondered how they compared? I've listened to both sound clips and they both sound great as you'd expect so that hasn't helped..

Q: Amp Factory Fender toolkit and Lazy J?

I have the lazy jay and man, I love them..

I have both. and I think they are complementary
LazyJ is very tweed style, with typical wonderful crunch.
I think it is especially suited to single coil.
With the Fender kit, always great with the single, instead you can find excellent solutions even with the HB.
Both excellent! -
I'm about to go for one of these too and can't quite make my mind up.
I play blues with mostly single coil but use hummies too. No hi gain here, just a little bite and crunch.
I get the feeling from the soundclips that the Fender Toolkit might be just a little too clean
Any other input would be appreciated. -
I primarily play a Tele with single coils. The Pro and Super found in the toolkit are outstanding. The Lazyj 40 and 80 are both really good too, I was really surprised by these. I don't think you can make a mistake here. Ideally get both but if I had to choose knowing what I know now, i'd go with the Toolkit.
As far as gain, I put a tube screamer in front of the Kemper and dialed up a sound I liked on the Pro. Then dropped the tube screamer model in one of the stomp slots and got it to sound really close. Then a few profiles later one of the higher gain profiles sounded great as well. So I felt like there was plenty there if needed. This is all subjective of course, but I didn't feel like the profiles or the tools were lacking to get there. ymmv.

Thanks...just pulled the trigger on the Fender toolkit.
So far so good. Very sweet cleans.
Haven't got to the crunchy bits yet. -
I bought mine a week ago but am not allowed to download it. PayPal went through but AmpFactory says "Pending".
Can't get anyone to respond. Is there something up with Andy? Is he sick?

Well, it's all a matter of taste, the guitars you use and your playing-style. My favourites for clean sounds are "'57 Fender Deluxe", "Elmwood Modena" and "Diezel VH-4" from Armin, "Bassman 59" from TAF, the "famous" Morgan 20 from RE (I reduced the gain for a cleaner profile) and my own profiles (Dr. Z Maz Sen., THD Univalve, Fender Blues Junior, Boogie MK2).
I'm not so happy with the LazyJ-Bundle (overall I miss the Fender "sparkle"), but like I said, this could be different with other guitars ect. My main guitars are Fenders from the sixties ('66 strat and tele, everything original except new frets).
