IK Multimedia TONEX

That video is a good watch for anyone who thinks nulls tests mean anything. He clearly demonstrated how different guitars amps and playing produced different results. If you are not running a comparison with your gear and playing style, the results of a test can be misleading.

That said, he was way kind to Kemper. Yeah, it's 15 year old tech, but where are the 15 years worth of updates to it? Tonex had much smaller issues with their capture accuracy than Kemper but they made an effort to fix them and it took them less than 3 years to release a significant update.

Another interesting thing that I had not realized was he said Kemper seems to have issues where there is power amp distortion. That does make sense to me since I thought it struggled with both Plexis and cranked Fender circuits. It did pretty good with a clean BF Super or Twin, but cranked up into distortion, it started to fall short. Hmmmm.

We all like free or cheap, but the learning curve and user experience for NAM and Tonex are less than ideal. That said, they are the only digital solutions I have been using for a couple years now, but for me at least, it was the sound and feel and not price that overcame the UE shortcomings. Playing good captures on either makes me smile in a way Kemper never did.

I think since captures are cloning or whatever the company wants to call, it has taken off in the last two years and recently this year last year and probably next year with the stadium as well as other platforms that camper is going to be way behind the ball unless they release something monumentally new

Not sure if it’s just because of the Tonex V2 update and continued NAM progress or what, but it does feel like captures are creeping up in popularity. I’m having a blast with Tonex V2 and can’t wait to see what L6 is cooking up there whenever that arrives in Stadium.
