Kemper Profiler MK 2

[riffy]

I never got bashed when I was using the Kemper. I never got bashed for using my Soldano or Marshalls or Rectos. I also never got bashed for using my Mooer or now my Tonex. I don’t buy any of this fanboy bashing crap. Not on this forum.

How practical is it to use that for guitar?

As practical as it is for Bass i guess.

No one is bashing Kemper users, they (we) are bashing Kemper as a company for falling behind in their core technology and offering a rather uninspiring MK2.

I bought a player fairly recently, Im bashing myself haha.

People constantly rushing to defend a company that doesn't even know they exist is always interesting to me.

Conversely, companies that don't take feedback from actual paying customers in forums like this are just as interesting. Do you know how much trouble and cost it is for companies in other sectors to get actual market research and legitimate customer feedback, they would kill to have something like the popular guitar forums. Pretty sure Line 6 did a hell of a lot of note taking the past decade @Digital Igloo is in every main Helix thread across all of 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.

IMO, the M-series are incredible in terms of usability. They're in fact kinda like what I wish had made its way into some newer offerings. Lotsa switches, lotsa knobs - and I even forgive them for using standard pots instead of endless encoders because there's been proper readouts.
If anything, I really kinda regret selling my M-13, but back then my plans for a larger setup were different. And unfortunately, the switches weren't exactly military grade (had to replace two of them, fortunately I found a completely broken M-13 for cheap).
Also, there's certainly a reason why you will still find them on many professional boards, some of the FX sound just great. I still prefer some of them over the newer ones and was very happy when Line 6 added them to the HX line (the Vetta Comp is in each and every of my presets ever since I re-discovered it).

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

Actually, I don’t think it’s the most hated; I think there’s things people like and don’t like, however most aren’t a super big fan of the way the company itself works. And I think that’s a pretty pragmatic way of looking at any of this stuff.

Sure, we can be smartasses or whatever, but it’s WAY different than TGP, a place so toxic I literally asked to be deleted.

I had an M5 I got just for Reverse Delay and ended up using the thing all over the place. Only reason I traded it was because the guy who wanted it had the exact year/model as my first guitar that I’d been trying to track down for years.

We could easily change that any moment soon.

Hey I sold it

Booh! Ok, let's start bashing you for selling the QC!

Did you just……make a joke?

Yes, and it is a German joke so it doesn’t even have to be funny.

No I’m just impressed with the effort!

No.

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.

You can map an expression pedal to a control with fewer mouse clicks on an AxeFX than on a Kemper. That doesn't mean anything is wrong with a Kemper, so I wouldn't call it bashing, it just refutes the claim that the Kemper does that "light years" better than an AxeFX.

In a 100 page thread, there's bound to be some negative comments, but I don't think there's been more than a handful of those. This seems like an overreaction IMHO.

@Tanax if you’re going to bitch about us here, bitch about us over at TGP, maybe this isn’t the place for you? I don’t get it. Seems like the effort’s not worth it, if you’re not happy here.

Life’s too short. It’s just an Internet forum.

Kemper Player - Tonex ongoing debate

Cool. When I was an AX8 user, I got ridiculed by Cliff and a bunch of his sycophants for pointing out a difficulty I was having accessing a feature directly from the unit. Then I made the mistake of bringing up the line 6 user interface, and was immediately banned. Great folks over there...

Just tell the TGP Nazis he’s over here complaining about over there and they’ll probably give him a timeout, lol.
