The amp sounds fabulous in standard tuning also. I can get it to sound like metallica with no problems at all. Wonder how close these profiles will sound to it. I got the 33 pedal with mine, but i think its wayyy overkill.

</p>How is the amp for you?
the colossus has amazing cleans. Jack of all trades. Master of none. The fortin meshuggah is just grizzly. It gets the most play time.

Ive had people come profile my colossus a while back, so it wouldnt be the first time
-
IF anyone is in the NJ/NYC trip state area, I have the head if anyone wants to come and profile it, just never did any profiling with my kemper before. Always been a plug and play type of guy.

You should understand that FAS and Kemper have a completely different business ethic.
Do the math:
2012: Axe-Fx II ---------Kemper Profiler
Axe-FX II XL ----- Kemper Profiler
Axe-FX II XL+---- Kemper Profiler
2018 Axe-FX III---------Kemper Profiler4th iteration of Axe-Fx within 6 years.
Talk about value and longevity (although second hand prices of Axe-Fx's are great).They also had an axe-fx II mark 2

Huh. Kemper homepage under maintenance now. We've seen that before.
wonder how many people fell for it. I know i did lol

If they were coming out with something big, Im sure it would be part of the art scheme of the booth. If they were having a floorboard unveil, why wouldnt they have no signs or no cuts?
-
Im glued too. I dont think theres anything coming out. We have gotten updates in the past the day before namm and we have nothing at all. Why would they wait till friday to shell out news?

What tubes and speakers you using to profile?
-
Located right outside nyc in jersey, if you care to do a swap!
-
Pretty sure they use an axe fx.
-
If a sonic maximizer was added to that gk profile, im sure it would nail it no problem. Im just baffled how they used solid state amps on those records

interesting! Brilliant video and great comparison, one of the main reasons why i dont eat meat

It's all relative. I went with the powered KPA just to have it. In this way if I ever get stuck in a shitty venue where you can't go direct you can always use a cab (or bring one). The Kemper power gets pretty low marks from amp and speaker manufacturers that I've spoken with. Works for me, but I'm not the most picky person in the world, either.
It sounds like you already want the unpowered and Friedman, so go for it. Some people here have found the Friedman a bit dark, but this is again completely relative. The Atomic CLR's get the highest marks on this forum. I personally like the Mission Engineering stuff because it's a coaxial design and reacts more like a true amp to my ears.
I also spent a ridiculous amount of time researching everything before I made my investments and I now see to be true what I've read a hundred times: just do what works for you. If the Friedman and unpowered made you happy, there's no reason not to go that route.
Hey, I have an atomic and love it to death, but i must admit, i am kind of intrigued by the mission engineering stuff. Which cab have you tried from them? It sucks that they dont sell them around me, and its kind of like i would have to pay to play it so i would love to hear any opinions since it seems they are sparse

bad ass! Love the guitar too!

Funny, i was researching this head for the last couple days. Def purchasing

Tom is a great guy and a pleasure to deal with. Had issues with a clr and he took care of it in godspeeds time!

Yeah I'm dying for one too!
