Cheers guys.

Think I'll try Thomann's 30 day offer and spring for the powered.

hey everyone!

hows the holidays been?

I've been looking into the Kemper and Ax8 for a while now and have a few questions regarding which to get.

Primarily looking for a be all, end all rig.

my current rig: Laney 60w tube head with 4x12 cab and a boss gt-100.

I was considering maybe buying the unpowered Kemper and 44 magnum pedal amp, and use my gt-100 as a midi controller as well as replace some effects.

and swap the big cab for a 2x12 perhaps.

Price wise in Europe the Ax8 and kemper unpowered are the same right now.

since I already have a foot controller with midi, I'm leaning towards the Kemper for pure tone quality.

But the Ax8 is tweakable beyond my needs and can sound just as good if not better at times.

there in lay the problem. I've been using the boss gt-100 for years now and have found myself getting lost in all the settings.

(there is such a thing as to many options)

Mostly play at home but gig every once in a while, May do more shows.

Mostly high gain and chorus cleans.

and for home practice I'm mostly going to be using 33ohms headphones or in ear monitoring.

Realistically I'm going to find 4-10 sounds that I like, set them and forget them, and perhaps modify down the line when sound preferences change.

and with the Kemper being so far into its production life I cant help but feel like they'll announce a new model the day after I order one.

So... Kemper or Ax8, thoughts?
