I don't really understand the question. Are you asking if Fractal Audio's business strategy is to sell more with each new product?

As someone who owned an Axe-Fx II, I'd say there are most definitely advantages to updated hardware when it results in new and improved features that weren't possible with previous versions.

May question is how do you know that? You can't know what was possible with previous versions. If fractal say that you still don't know if that's true or not or if it is fractals business strategy to fool ppl to upgrade and purchase the lastest version.

Weren't or was it fractals business strategy to sell more?

Quote from Laimon

Well, maybe, yeah - but I mean, it is ok to step up the hardware after some point.

People are always asking for improvements, but there's limits to what and how fast can be computed. When you reach the ceiling, either you upgrade the hardware, or start cutting corners.

Kemper has already proved - I would say, after 10 years! - that they're not that kind of company to release a new hardware every 2 years just to get money out of our pockets, so I am sure if they did it would be to actually to bring next-level algorithms to the table, and given the quality shown so far I would buy something like that in a heartbeat.

And that is one reason why the kemper has become a succes. Users don't like to pay much for a thing that will be discontinued after a few years and need to sell it cheap just to upgrade to the new mkII and only to find in a couple of years they have to do it again. I guess many ex Fractal users are happy they purchased a kemper.

Yes if you use rig manager you can do it. Just click on the profiles within rig manager.

Before the Kemper was announced, no one in the public had imagined such a thing would be invented, generally speaking. Mr. Kemper is likely to bring an even newer technology, that maybe is or isn't related to the KPA . The Virus synth series has also been unique, so I suspect there may be something coming that is also unique, once again.

We will see. We will see. But kemper saved me and money from buying a axe fx which I intended to do. Talk about in the nick of time. Puh!

If it's mainly on the low E it should have nothing to do with the kemper but your guitar need a better setup

One of the best rock songs ever.

Quote from spikey

I said the same thing about more guitars....

But one can not have enough of guitars. Different guitars with different pickups and sounds. And different tunings.

So many, if not not most of the younger, new to guitar, don't go to the local music shop and buy a practice amp. They get a sound card and install amp sims instead.

Do I hear and see Ibanez sponsored?

Whenever a kpa 2 is released and kpa 1 will no longer be updated I will still be using mine and be happy as it is. I mean it was very limited in the past and still ppl made fantastic music. Just because we have so much more to choose from now doesn't mean music gets better. It only means we have more choices. In the end its all about the music.

No one records guitars with only one mic on the cab anymore.

Not true.

I've gone thru so many free and commercial profiles/pack with 5150, Peavy or Fender version, but none has better than Max GoldLionStudios EVH5150. Everything from rock-metal works great. And the profiles sounds killer with all my guitars. Not many that do, free or commercial.

Quote from dicarvaglio

I have like 4 or 5 packs from lpr and they sound great to me so its just that simple, if u like what u hear, go for it. If dont, dont buy it. R u going to buy profiles only if u c a picture of the real amp, mics used, tweaking session and etc? Lol

Dont try to ruin someone bc u think u r right. There's always 2 sides

Sure you got a good point there. The same is true with other vendors. You can never be 100% certain their videos does contain the actual profiles. It could be the real amp you hear. I'm not saying I suspect that but like I said you never know.

Quote from Kaschko

I does that too but isn't limited to it. You can actually turn the room simulation off and use just the compensation EQ for a bunch of headphone brands.

Ok didn't know that

Quote from Kaschko

3. When it comes to recording: I have a waves plugin in which I can choose my headphones and then it compensates the EQ. The result is quite different from the EQ without the plugin. Is there a point to this although the headphones are actually famous for sounding neutral?

That Wave plugin is meant to close the gap between using speakers vs headphones and at th same time simulate the acoustic of a studio.

Awsome!

Quote from Guilese

Can't get it to update (either by usb nor by RM)

Have you tried more than once on each? It took me two times with RM to succed. If nothing works, open a support ticket.

Recorded this song from radio on cassette 84 but I forgot the band name and I knew back then that I will never know. So this song turned up on a metal spotify list and what a happy surprise after so many years! Fun fact: one of the guitarists was Floyd Rose.

Violet Night and when clicking on it it says "Seeking to recreate the sound of a Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker"
