I am officially ampless.

Just sold my 6505+ along with some other gear that was taking up space. Now I need to buy something. Looking at an Axe-Fx Ultra vs a Kemper. This won't be for live use, only home recording. What should I do?

[gb74]

Kemper for sure.

[JohnB]

your pod stuff sounds awesome, really looking forward to the Kemper recordings that you should be making.

[madrigal77]

Kemper by 10,000 miles.

[sleewell]

Snax

Depends.

Do you like effects? AxeFX
Do you like just amps? Kemper.

For what I do, having a Kemper doesn't negate the need for my AxeFX.

(From a guy who has spent TONS of time with both.)

[exafro]

This is really tough. I'd have to stretch my limit a bit to get the Kemper. I thought they were a bit cheaper used. Thinking if I can find an Axe used for like $1250, I'll probably end up going that route.

Anyone ever deal with tacorivers?

what the fuck is your avatar?

Dude, I can't wait to hear what tones you get out of either one. You have some of the best POD tones I've ever heard...with some proper modelling I have a feeling you're gonna get ridiculous tones.

My opinion, for you, is get the Kemper...You don't seem to a WHOLE lot with effects, and the sims on the kemper seem to be quite a bit more realistic. Though I absolutely loved my Ultra. And I think the II is even better...owner not withstanding

Good luck and keep us posted dude!

[zach]

honestly, i don't expect that either would be significantly better than other stuff you've done with VSTs.

considered an eleven rack?

[redeyes]

Kemper kicks all kinds of ass over the Axe for pure solid brutal tone. IMO of course.

[exafro]

Can't seem to multi-quote...so KC thanks for the kind words. You're right that I don't normally use a crazy amount of FX, but I am intrigued by the great effects the Snax does have. Plus if I ever get sick of modelling, I could get another amp and run this through the loop.
Zach, I do think I get some decent tones with VST's, but it'd be nice to be able to have everything in one tidy package. And I have thought about the 11r, but the clips that I've heard aren't something that would make me get rid of the fiddy(I'm sure you would )

Go Kemper...long term it is the best bet. I mean people like Sacha are giving their studio amp banks away. His tone is fkn utter ear buggery

Then again..Knowing my luck he used the snax to record this. haha

['63-Strat]

If it was me, I'd get the Kemper personally.

[exafro]

After thinking it through, I'm going with the Ultra(shoulda gone with the II.) If anyone sees one or knows a person selling at around $1300 please let me know. All the ones on Ebay are going for 1400 plus, which seems slightly high.

[SexWithRobots]

I would go with Kemper. Oh wait.

[KCTigerChief]

Good luck man! You will love the ultra...The effects are awesome, and could inspire you to play things you normally wouldn't!

Can't wait to hear your clips!
