What ever modeler you rank answer is always TBP - 1.

I didn't even watch it, and I'm already offended.

3. NDSP QC
4. Fender TMP
5. Hotone
6. St. Rock

Lots of trash in there. Seems like Kemper should be in there and like 50% removed lol.

People still use Kemper?

Do you go to shows? It's probably the one I see the most, especially with touring bands. I never see half of your list out in the wild.

It’s been one of the top modelers for many years for bigger touring acts. I do think it’s on the decline with a lot of bands moving to QC or Fractal.

Probably different from the average YouTube viewer who is more interested in the latest gear as opposed to working musicians who are on the road for months at a time and want something that works for their situation.

Hot people (not me)

I was only half joking. I guess people still love that platform as a whole! In terms of the profiling tech imho it's just dated. QC is more accurate and way more flexible in terms of how you can route the captures etc.

Jon did specifically comment in the video intro that Kemper and Tonex were not included because they don't do modeling.

Not only that, but I don't own one and haven't owned one for a while (some years) and I only wanted to include platforms that I have experience with and actually have here.

I don't go on teh YouTube.

It's nothing but a data-harvesting troll farm.

I’m not clicking that video, but I’m certain this calls for both a blind test and a reveal video.

I'm not making that video

 

[Jarick]

To defend Jon a bit, he's done a hell of a lot of blind test videos and stepped on a lot of toes over the years. I'm perfectly fine with watching a shorter video like this.

The one thing I wish was a bit different in this video would be having the Lonely Rocker guy (who I follow and enjoy) trying out some of these units he hasn't used. It would be cool to get his impressions of things like the Fender TMP in real time. Kind of like what you did with Henning.

I also appreciate that @GuitarJon actually participates in discussions here and doesn't just drop his vids and run. He's also a great player and monster riff machine. Happy that you're here, Jon.

In some ways QC is more flexible, but in other ways Kemper is still much more flexible than QC. It all depends on how you approach building your setup

 

[TubeStack]

Yeah, at first I thought the Kemper was glaringly absent from the summary list (haven't seen vid yet), but then I realized oh it’s not a modeler.
