New Kemper addict (formerly an Axe FX user)

Awesome, JT!

Say, you're not the JT I just recommended a Kemper to over at Rig Talk, are you?

If so, and if not, welcome, brudda, and congrats on the wise decision, man!

EDIT:
If it's not you, mate, it's a Helluva coincidence, 'cause that JT was looking at an Axe III as well.

I can actually do without a PC editor for the Kemper, it's brought about a sense of freedom to be able to do it all on that front panel. It's liberating and it just sounds so damn good!!!

Hello and welcome, yeah i feel that way too.... really not bothered bout PC editor.... although many people are..which is fair enough... cheers

Cripes, that really is a coincidence, man.

Please do, mate!

Beware 'though - it's turned into an Axe fest so I've bowed out; I stated my case anyway. I happen to really like JTyson, the thread starter, and therefore would really appreciate it if you let him know what you've found.

They're arguing about the "chirp" of the pick attack on the Axe and the consensus of the Axe users seems to be that you can dial it out. The remarks about the Kemper in this regard are vague in that they say that sometimes it chirps, and sometimes not.

This is something you can clear up for them, and the answer's obvious:
If the friggin' amp that was Profiled chirped, so will the Profiles! Of course, you can use the pick-attack parameter in the amp menu to raise or lower the pick definition as well.

Good luck it you accept the mission brudda. I know JT needs to hear your thoughts as he's in precisely the situation you were before you took the plunge.

Again, welcome, JT!

... and thank you, JT, for bravely sharing your thoughts over there, man.

EDIT:
Just read your endorsement. Fantastic!

Also, it turned into a "chirp" thing, but my beef was subtly-different, and had to do with a "hard" edge to the attack; I hear it on cleans too. It's the high-frequency content that sounds "hard" to me.

A couple of other dudes morphed this into the chirp thing, then Cliff said it was intentional, so the Axe Brigade™ managed to deflect the whole thing. That's one of the reasons I no longer participate in Axe debates.

Welcome to the forum

Welcome and enjoy the next level!

Here are a lot of users (like myself) who had owned the AxeFx before.

Welcome. Your initial impression of the Profiler is 100% how I feel about it.

JT, Welcome to the forum man! Great to read your thoughts and experiences, solid

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome Sir

Welcome!

Welcome, the more you learn about this thing, the more you'll be impressed.

Welcome to the group!

Welcome to the Family

Welcome JT!
I've never played a Fractal unit, but I appreciate your experience and comparisons.

Welcome!

I skipped over the whole Axe FX thing. Always heard this midrange plastic tone when someone recorded with one. My Kemper acts, feels and sounds like real good tube amps. Never experienced anything else like that from the "modelers". I'm finally fully satisfied...and have no need to go anywhere else.
