Hi there! Just recieved my Kemper Profiler Power Rack a couple days ago, and so far I'm blown away! I'm in the process of learning the machine, but hope to have it integrated into my live rig by the end of the month. Im currently gigging the Digitech GSP 1101, and will most likely use it in the effects loop of the Kemper and as a midi controller with the Control 2 footswitch. I'm also deciding what 4x12 cab to use with it. Currently using B52 cabs, but have my eye on a Framus Dragon with greenbacks, A Marshall 1960 or a Boogie Recto Traditional.
I really had my eye on the Axe FX of course, but after a seeing a few people using them, i was not blown away! I know both devices are only as good as the guy writing the presets, but after I started looking closer at the Kemper it seemed like the learning curve was much easier. And there are a pile of GREAT tones in the thing already and on the exchange. The only issues I forsee are dialing it in with the band sonically, and controlling it effectively in a live application. Once I have a selection of tones ready, and have the switching configured, I can take it to the studio and play along with board mixes from the shows to dial it in fully. I am super excited about having all these great tones at my disposal! Any live advice/experience/input welcomed! Thanks!
