Kemper Profiler MK 2

[dws2384]

While I can see the new amp models offering better sound quality, I think it is safe to assume that the efx will sound no better than Helix (at launch).

and? Line 6 effects are widely used by pro session players recording some of the biggest albums in the world.

Hell, Bukovac, Dann Huff, and Derek Wells are still using the M series prior to HX/Helix. The albums they've collectively played on have sold how many millions of copies?

Maybe you prefer Kemper effects, I personally do as well, but if Line 6 effects are holding you back, its you, not them

Just saw a Huff interview this morning and one of those M-units was right at his feet the whole time. I believe Tim Pierce is also a big fan of the M stuff but recently switched to the HX-One.

Given then I'm the effects whinger, I don't really agree with this.

I'm Mr Effects Whinger, tone tweaker supreme,
Got a stompbox army straight outta a dream.
I fuzz it, I phase it, I bend it with flair,
You want clean signal? Pfft—don’t even dare!

Thanks chatgpt no idea why this was the first thing that popped in my head

Morphing is way easier to configure on Kemper than on Fractal, just like adjusting parameters on snapshots is way easier on Helix than on Fractal.

I really don’t understand the need for the group to repeatedly attack anything that isn’t one of the preferred devices. It can’t even be as simple as you don’t like the unit so just move on, there has to be page after page dissecting every post because you don’t like their opinion or have to be right.

I’ve seen that happen to just about every forum I’ve been on, there hits a point where the group dynamic gets to be toxic and shuts out anything outside the group think, and that’s usually a good sign to move on from that forum. It’s a bummer to see that happening here.

Seriously this. Quite surprising to see that this thread is more of a shit storm than all Kemper Mk2 threads combined on TheGearPage. I thought this forum prided itself in being better than that place. But repeatedly there are so much bashing on here from people that are not even interested in or would never buy (or haven't even tried) Kemper.

This forum is becoming an echo chamber of promoting only specific products and bashing people who likes other products and it's sad to see.

Differences is (most) people here can deal with it without having an emotional meltdown where they scream “NO YOU’RE TRIGGERED” through Kemper green tears.

I thought you liked Helix effects?

Most of them I do, but there's a handful I'm not keen on. Most of the reverbs, and any of the digital delays.

 

[molul]

from a tone standpoint they only lack in capture accuracy

Wow, if they told me I would read this about Kemper 2 years ago, I wouldn't believe it.

Eh, I call BS. there were at least a few of us interested in a real successor to the Kemper, UNTIL the announcement.

Which products are being pushed? Because there’s a whole lot of enthusiasm for Helix, Helix Stadium, Fractal, NAM, Tonex, preamp pedals, etc. even some Boss fans.

I’ve spent the last 6 months touting that I have a QC and engaging in that thread - even though I think it’s the most hated device on this forum I never once received any sort of hate or bashing from anyone

There’s been a rash of people confusing “reasonable discourse on features and functions” as “bashing” because, reasonably, some of these new features and functions are boring and/or bullshit.

100%. I mean; the whole forum was built on this "origin story" yet there is a huge thread dedicated to that same device.

Show me a post where someone bashed another member due to their gear choice. (I’d be willing to bet $10 I’ve been called something along the lines of a Fractal fanboy in here, though)

If this thread is more of a “shitstorm” it’s because we don’t allow members to wipe their tears with a Report button because someone offended them for not liking their modeler of choice, thus entire pages of threads don’t go missing at the click of a button like they do other forums.

Seems to me no one here but Orvillian has an issue with the OG Kemper, but the majority find the MK2 to be a pretty shitty idea. Just like many found their Tiers to be a shitty idea. Previous to that, I don’t recall seeing anything negative about Kemper unless it came from Orvie and he’s a cunt to begin with.

Same thing with the QC thread, no one gets bashed for digging it or using it, but NDSP sure does for the way they do business.

The feigned offense bullshit is tired as fuck.

…it came from Orvie and he’s a cunt to begin with.

And I thought I was done with tattoos.
