as a player, in cover bands, for 55+ years. I’m a less is more player.
‘I find an Amp, a touch of reverb, and a little delay occasionally, covers over 90% , 0f the100’s of songs that I play
Od, amp, and delay for leads is all I need. Period. For coming up with new ideas I like sometimes playing with other effects in kemper.
This debate is similar to the vst debates. I want better VST's I want more realistic VST's, more realistic string library etc. So does it matter if you can't make a good song with what you have? Guitarists should worry more about being a good guitarist, creating better, or more inspiring riffs, nail that cover song etc than worry too much about the tone. The same is true in the VST world. I mean listen to the cheesy synth sound on Led Zeppelins All my love. It works becuase it's a great song. A great song is always most important. The guitar tone doesn't matter so much as guitarists like to believe.

Say what you want. I have just a ton of respect for this man!
Just watch his right hand. So relaxed and it looks like he doesn't do much with it but really does. I know many don't like him as a person and..well he's not the most humble and nicest guy. But he can't be worse than Ted Nugent. But if I had to like all famous musicians I like I would have stop to listen to more bands. 
Unlinke the guys who are being overly defensive about an unreleased product.
Yes very strange and suspicious defend an unreleased product.
QC is going to be awesome.
You guys being overly defensive about your KPA’s and nitpicking every little thing to avoid admitting that the KPA could use an update are going to miss out.
I personally don't see an update as an important factor. I'm happy as it is. It sounds awesome. The effects have been updated already and are very good too. I don't need anything else. Maybe a new guitar. I rather buy a new, or used, guitar than a qc or a kemper 2.
I agree with Alienator, we, Kemper users, don't need a Kemper 2. Because we all know that It already works great for live and for recording. In fact my lunchbox works great since I got it in 2013 and I never felt the need to replace it by anything else. And I like so much that I never feel this pressure since then because Kemper still get updates again and again for free!
Now, unfortunately, maybe the Kemper team need a Kemper 2 because they are actually loosing a segment of their customers who always want to have the new hyped shiny toy with the most powerfull DSP and the most beautiful touch screen etc. But if you take a minute and look at it without emotion, you'll see that there is no ''game changing'' in the new toy (apart from the fact that maybe you NEED multiple amps setup... really??). Just a more powerfull package with most probably a lot of bugs to iron out for a few months and maybe more. I think QC will be a very good option but it does not offer enough to make me change my trusty Kemper 1.
Amen to that brother.
Woah...I have about 22 guitars but Im a lightweight compared to you!
That looks more like a guitar shop than anything else. 
I've only got 5 and a bass guitar.
Personally I would never use a clip on, it looks so amateurish even when I saw Lynch or Gilbert use one live it makes me cringe. They might as well have a beer holder on their mic stand and an Ipad holder on the other side and go full garage band.
For some strange reason I never found any profile of the axefx2/3 that I would use in any situation.Strange enough.I found them all (and there are plenty of them in the RE) cold as ice,no feel,sterile and boring.Though they all remind me of the amp they try to emulate.No doubt.
I mean they sound "good" in terms of "tone" ..but it is like an audio vampire has sucked all the blood out of these tones..
I don't know if they're more difficult to profile like amp sims from the computer are . But I agree, I have tried profiles made from axefx too and I've erased them after I tested them cause they sound sterile and boring.
You're probably right, but I rather enjoyed the release of the Kemper Stage. It was so refreshing to simply be able to buy it shortly after being announced and not join an interminable list.
I've never been a fan of this modern pre-book your item either.
The tuner is not inaccurate. It used be though. I'm no the only one here that compared the tuner with good hardware tuners and can confirm the kemper tuner is very accurate. It seems its your clip tuner is the problem. For best possible tuning and intonation a clip tuner is not the best for the job.
It is always hard to find the right balance. If the QC arrives with software issues, the list of complaints will go on forever. If it is delayed, so already see the results.
Personally, I would not have announced a year in advance. It is too long a lead up.
I'm not sure about that. I mean 98 pages on kemper forum, that's not bad for something not yet released.
You don't know what multiple gain stages are?
Instead of answering you try to defend with another question.
But then how can you know how the profiles you buy sound compared to the amps they were based on?
Good question.
I asked how it's even remotely relevant whether anyone has profiled an amp in order to determine whether a Kemper profile someone else has profiled properly is indistinguishable from the reference amp, so I'll ask again. How is whether I've profiled my amps remotely relevant? Tell me.
Seriously, you have painted your self in a corner and don't know how to get out.
So what's the problem? I don't get it. Raise the volume on the kemper if you want it louder. Problem solved.
The Axe-Fx III is available.
Yes but I guess he meant you can't go to a music store and buy one or on the net and order it and have it in less than a week like with anything music related stuff.
Hopefully Kemper is coming with an update für the Rig Manager so you can use 2 Amps at the same time! That would be interesting!
It has been said many times and ckemper him self has said it's not possible. Kemper 2 will most probably.
And great sound too. Must be a kemper
I don't really understand the question. Are you asking if Fractal Audio's business strategy is to sell more with each new product?
As someone who owned an Axe-Fx II, I'd say there are most definitely advantages to updated hardware when it results in new and improved features that weren't possible with previous versions.
May question is how do you know that? You can't know what was possible with previous versions. If fractal say that you still don't know if that's true or not or if it is fractals business strategy to fool ppl to upgrade and purchase the lastest version.
