That’s the thing fractal is always trying to improve and their tone match isn’t that Farr off, they will need to release another version to be perfect but seems they will be the only digital amp company at that time if kemper is happy with being under par in my opinion

Damn then it’s dead to me, I wish I knew that going into it, kemper is a honeymoon

With these things mentioned to be helpful, I express my negativity with the kemper so they are aware of the issues, if kemper is done and feel the unit is 100% perfect then I’ll trade get a two notes load box and call it a day, I’m willing to stay in if profiling is perfected to raw amp tone. I di profile and comparing to the amp even refining I’m not satisfied and see the closeness but also the distance

Kinda unrelated but related if you do a YouTube search of isolated guitar tracks it’s gold example https://youtu.be/W-S-9-CpjWo

I thought this was interesting, https://www.thegearpage.net/bo…fizzerator.1774798/page-2, for any one that doesn’t know James Brown was the designer of the 5150, he worked directly with Eddie all the way through the amp. He calls fizz sizzle and even created a defizzerator for amps which is a high pass filter, anyway his explanation of the 5150 was cool
“The 5150 does have a lot of sizzle-ey highs, and part of that was Eddie liked how it cleaned up....he didn't play it at low volumes, and at high master volume settings that sizzle gets clipped away by the power amp rails. So you don't hear it nearly as much, UNTIL you turn the guitar down, which he does all the time and doesn't want it to sound muddy in any way. But of course then it's very fizzy at low volumes. The DeFizzerator fixes that, and you could accomplish it all kinds of ways in the amp, but this is a simple plug in pedal you can just patch in without shipping your amp around.
James“

To me it was the fact he brought up the same conversation here that kemper lacks in the low end and low mid on profiling, I could care less about kemper vs fractal but it shows the kemper team has work to do to perfect what separates the kemper from other products

"Although the heavy sound was good, I couldn’t seem to dial in a low end presence that I missed. It wasn’t an eq thing, it was a depth thing. The sounds in the Kemper were really satisfying to me, but still…it was not the Mesa and the problems were in the low and low mid areas. The Soundpeople we were working with said the same."
This was quoted from a recent write up from Devin Townsend, and seems he has the same issue thats been reported time and time again here. That even though the Kemper is very close its still far away, I find it annoying as the profiling ability of the unit is its leverage in the market and there does need to be an update. I found this interview with Cristoph and it started to make me wonder if he is happy where it stands and really wants to or has the time to perfect the core of the unit, interview starts around 6:55

Welcome back, I almost did like you and trade my Kemper for an amp, luckily I found a 92 5150 blockletter halfstack for $400.00

My question is why 5? Even digitech in the RP series gave more than that and they were usable. To me Fuzz is a huge lacking offering. I mean how many tubescreamer variants do you need? How about tweaking parameters within the OD to simulate different circuits? I’d like to see Rams Head fuzz etc.

Also I found a tbr profile on exchange but couldn’t get it to do this

So Jason Beiler used Rivera and I think it’s a tbr-1sl, I know it was a rack mount, I am sure there was some studio magic added, never played this particular Rivera but in those days there was allot added, anywho, you magicians out there can you help?
