The End of Pains in the Back?

Oh please - lets all wait until at least 5 persons have played and heard this "thing".
In several other forums people are flaming each other without even seen the thing in real, it is plain ridiculous.
 
Germans....first there's Bratwurst, now the Kemper Profiling Amp. What's next? :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:
 
...seems interesting from a practical point of view (tonal wise it's difficult to judge a sample, and honestly to me it doesn't sound exactly the same as the real amp even listening to a low quality recording like this), but one thing I don't understand is: if it "learns" from real amps, this means you've to own them to be able to really reproduce the tone you like otherwise you only got the stock presets, right? :confused:
Unless of course you go to the music stores with this thing trying to steal the tones from their amps!!! ahahaha :lol: :LOL: :D

Well, jokes apart I guess it could be useful to play always with your tones, even when you can't (or simply don't want to) bring the whole rig. We'll see...in the meantime I guess I'll keep up bearing the burden lol :D
 
Stuff like that takes away the whole purpose of what some of us are in it for. If amps were automobiles, I want my amp to be like a bad ass muscle car, that makes a lot of noise, sounds good with a low rumble, looks cool and nostalgic and turns heads. It may take it while to reach 120 mph, but it is fun getting there. I don't see where the labor of it all is with these modelers. They would be like the sleek little sports cars - they get there faster, but who gives a shit? You buy them off the showroom and they are as good as they will ever be. Give me something I can show off....like a big bad blue face VH4, or some modded 70's Marshall amps. Makes you feel like you worked for something.

i agree with Steve. Ill take a 70 Chevelle SS anyday over a fucking Subaru!!
 
Ja toll, die nächste Sau, die durch den Ort getrieben wird.
Ich kann mich noch an den Hype des AXE-FX erinnern. Habs nach 3 Wochen zurück geschickt.
Der Punkt ist ja nicht immer unbedingt, dass diese digitalen Kisten nicht gut klingen, oder spielbar sind.
Aber im Live-Betrieb ist mit das Wichtigste in der Kette immer noch die Abhöre. 4x12, InEar oder Monitorbox.
Genau das macht es eben aus, dass eine eigentlich toll klingende Kiste - Röhre oder digital - nicht mehr menschenwürdig klingt.
Ich bin sicher, der Sound ist schon superdufte - aber das ist live nur die halbe Miete.
 
you're right, olaf. at least it has as much sex appeal as an oscilloscope or medical infusor... ;)
 
I can see this as very useful exactly because it depends on the micing. You go to a studio, borrow a great cab, set-up some nice mics, good preamps, etc, and you get your killer tone, which you can then upload to this unit and take it anywhere you want. Even if it's not 100% accurate, I say it beats AxeFx because you are in charge with some real tones, not already modeled ones.

If this comes really true. Be sure, you will get lots of "nice" sounding amp presets from the company itself. Cause this is the only USP: getting the best sounding amps with this item.
 
there will be a market on amp-profile selling for sure... "get a fender twin, modded by XXX, year YY for $20" or "get a marshall XXX modded by Peter Diezel in YY..." ;)
 
Elfredoo,
If you want to save your back, try an XOX Audio Tools Handle guitar. It weighs 5 pounds and sounds amazing through any of my Diezels.

As for hauling an amp to and from work, use a hand cart. The effort will be worth everything, back-wise and sound-wise.
