I was in the same position and also agree the form factor and sounds of the QC are on parr if not better than the Kemper. However I sold my QC as it just wasn’t anywhere near as well developed as the Kemper. Very much as you mentioned with the ‘buy what it can do now… ‘ quote.

Hi
Yes, would love to check it out if you can get profiles you’re happy with.
-
Hey, thx
This one came to over £2k but I paid it over a couple of years. Took a while to come cos of covid but it meant it was easy to pay for:)
-
Here's my latest. Second one I've had made by Tom Waghorn in the UK. An amazing luthier and human being in general.
Bare knuckle Nantucket P90s, Swamp Ash body, birds eye maple neck.
I love this guitar;)

Looks like he turns a pedal on with his foot to me. My bet is a square wave tremolo. Be very easy to create this sound with a fulltone supa trem for example.
-
Yeah, this is a phase issue. Haven’t tried the updated version but it is meant to have fixed at least some of the phase.

Surely you get close enough by just profiling your amp and cab, maybe as a merged profile, then monitor out to cab with ‘cab off’ in the output menu, with main out going to the desk.
Isn’t that what this method is basically designed for?

Welcome
And grats on the gig!!

Peerless M Taylor Virtuoso. My first archtop. I was looking for an affordable lefty, which ain't easy. Small (15') and comfy . Low action. I strung It with flats.
Good South Corean construction and a sale price that made me drop the bullets (in France this time). Spruce and maple. Not very loud unplugged, but there's a bit of an acoustic tone to mic and blend in with the Kemper.
this is soo beautiful!!

Yes, absolutely. But for practising the Thr is a great product:)
-
Got one used. It’s a great thing:)
-
She’s damn popular and very good (biased here;)
If she uses a Kemper she should absolutely be on the list!
-
Use what you like. All is good:)
-
As mentioned above if you have it set as monitor cab off, that only affects the speaker out and monitor out, so use your main output to the desk as this will still have the cab sim engaged.
-
Not sure about the rest, but you Can run an instrument cable from the monitor out of the kemper, you don’t need a speaker cable from the monitor of the Kemper.
-
One on left (leftie too) used for wah and vol. morph I just use the remote switches
-

Does sound like you could have the monitor cab off ticked as Kemper support mentioned above
-
if it is a Merged Profile, than the amp/cab separation is 100% authentic.
if it is a Studio Profile, then an algorithm makes an educated guess where the separation is most likely to be, and I also found it to be quite accurate, musical and work very, very well in a live setup where you have a traditional guitar cab as a monitor on stage.this was my point with studio profiles. And I tote agree with your findings when used with a traditional cab, which is how I prefer to monitor.

I’ve gotta say I’m considering selling the Quad. So far I’m trying to love it but although the captures are good I don’t think they are any better than the Kemper.
Also I find many of the captures that are available and the models are a little stiff and sterile.
Also Kemper is just way ahead on effects and utility. I find the simple routing when I want to go straight to a cab and also mixer so simple and with the Kemper removing the cab even from studio profiles very well. (Don’t know if it sounds 100% correct, pretty sure it doesn’t, but it still sounds good)
I also find the Quad sounds quite thin on the high strings, similar to the helix.Combine this all with morphing, and the other products like the new powered cab, I don’t really think the QC can really compare.
I’m waiting for some updates before I decide but a little underwhelmed after owning it for about 2 months.
