ok thanks. its actually happening on other rigs too. if i turn the gain up a lot, it happens. Its like the output is clipping or something.

Do you have the "Cabinets" in your Kemper?
Do you have the Axe-FX presets in your Kemper?Cabinets.

well, it depends how close you want to recreate the periphery kind of tone
most of bulb's tone as well with djent in general comes from pre amp EQ and virtually increasing the amp's damping to achieve that tight, dry sound. having owned the axefx standard, mic'ing real amps and the kemper, you can DEFINITELY get closest to that sound with the axe. keep in mind that this is a purely artificial tone where you cut almost all bass and boost mids BEFORE the amp, and increase the damping to non-physically achievable levels. maxing the tone control on a tube screamer does something similar, but it doesn't have that artificial 'djent midrange quack'. personally, i love their music but hate that thin quacky midrange attack.
so it really boils down to this, imo:
- if you prefer the tone of a real amp, the kemper will work easier and sound more 'natural'.
- if you want that 'djent' tone, then you're better off with the axe since it has more tweaking options. especially the EQ controls in the DRIVE stomp models will give you that exaggerated midrange 'djent quack' sound
What do you think the odds are of kemper having updates which give me the ability to have more of a 'djent' tone? Also what if i want tones more like lamb of god. Still heavy but less 'djent' like. What about whitechapel type tones?

Only you can decide that. The KPA can do everything you want, as long as you KNOW what tone to dial in to make your recorded sound work nicely in a mix. Check out the recent stuff by Keith Merrow, Fred Brum or Ola Englund. They all use the KPA for their heavy technical stuff.
I downloaded their profiles but none of them seemed to sound good enough. They all sound real nice over youtube, but when i used them, it just wasnt the same. I know im using different guitars and that could be contributing to it, but still i was a little disappointed.

no, I just have headphones plugged in.

I just recently got the kemper profiling and I am now wondering if it was the best thing for me to buy based on what I play. I play a lot of periphery (yes i know misha mansoor uses the axe fx 2) and miss may etc... I still have around 28 days to test it since i purchased it from sweetwater.com. For that type of music, would i be better off keeping the kemper or returning it and getting the axe fx 2. price is not an obstacle here

for some of the hi gain tones i am using, when i pluck hard, or chug hard rather, i will get a short burst of loud clean tone. Is anyone else experiencing this?
