As a brand new owner of a Kemper (about 16 hours of this message), all I can say is WOW. Over the years, I have been using different modelers, all the way back to the Zoom 505, GNX3, Eleven Rack and Atomic Amplifire. I recently had an incredible urge to join the Kemper world, although I was a little afraid of not living up to the hype. I sold a couple of pieces of gear, and took the plunge. .I was completely floored by Kemper.
In EVERY modeler that I've ever had, the stock patches were horrible. You had the frustrations of getting over the learning curve to create patches that you thought sounded good. I fully expected the same, if not worse, with the Kemper. Thankfully, I was proven wrong. The stock profiles are amazing. The interface is very intuitive, and I was tweaking away within a few minutes. I know I'm in that "newness" stage, and have to wait to make a real assessment, but I am 100% confident that I made the right choice.
So far, the only downside to the Kemper was that I played my guitar so long last night, that my fingers started to hurt. At that point I looked at the clock, and I knew today was going to be a bad day at work with much less sleep than normal. So far, all I think about at work is that I can't wait to play again when I get home.
I have a website that you may useful ( lespauled.com ). I don't update it much. There are NO ADS, NO CLICKBAIT nonsense, just a personal website. I have some projects that I did detailed on the site, like creating a Lynch Tiger-is guitar, and some reviews of gear I've had through the years. One thing that guitarist might find useful is the application I made FindNoteOnFretboard, which shows you all the notes for the chord/scale you choose, all over the fretboard. If you like it, please let me know.
I've been on the forum for just a few minutes and have already received some great information to help me on my way. I am thrilled that I bought and Kemper, and am thrilled to be on this forum.
