    I review the PRS Mark Holcomb SE Guitar. IMHO It's one of the best guitars priced under $1200.00. One of the best PRS guitars yet.

    You know around the time that Kemper released the floor unit, I posted asking if something like this would ever be released. And I had two Kemper product engineers rip me a new one and tell me in no uncertain terms "No. The technology does not work that way. Besides, there is no demand for a device without profiling capability. It will NEVER happen." Huh.

    If you look at the footswitches you see two green LEDs like the Stage or Remote, they must be there for Morphing.
    So it must be coming in an update.

    So the pedal can Be setup with 1 amp per switch and 2 effects each like chorus and reverb on button one and delay and reverb on the others?

    Sonically, it should be just like having a Kemper without the ability to profile (...limited outputs, etc..).

    OK, simple question. After returning to tube amps and running the gauntlet with every modeler out there, I’m now considering this simply as a B/fly out rig. I want to step on three pedals. Clean crunch and lead. Am I going to be as happy with it as using a 100 W EVH with a 4x12? No, of course I’m not. However, for quick set up and dialing in few killer tones and send to FOH; Is this going to work. Yes or no. Thanks!

      Thanks for asking. I plan on doing those very soon. I just hope the Kemper algorithm can profile these properly. I've been having issues with other amplifiers regarding profiling them on the kemper lately

    So they don’t use performance modes on this? Just presets but they are seamless like performance mode? Thanks Jarrod!

    • @TONEWARSgearshow
      @TONEWARSgearshow  3 місяці тому

      There's not really a performance mode on this unit per se.. You just assign anything you want to each pedal. In this case I just assigned each pedal to choose a new preset

    • @TONEWARSgearshow

      No Gap at all. Switching presets is perfectly seamless. And you get the awesome spillover from the delay and Reverb to go along with it

    Hey man, totally unrelated question to your video so my apologies. Do you think a Mesa dual rectifier sounds the same as a 5150? I'll rephrase... do you think it's DUMB to suggest a dual rectifier sounds the same as a 5150? Curious :) :)

    Too little too late from Kemper (for me). I had the Stage but ended up going QC and it's SO much more usable. Happy for Kemper but until they work on their UX and ease of use, I don't see myself switching from QC anytime soon.

    Sounds really good but it still does not sound like a real amp. Would be cool to put this against a comparable amp and cab.

    • @WholeLottaBulldog
      @WholeLottaBulldog 3 місяці тому

      It sounds close enough to a real amp for it not to matter. Some argue the touch of compression the Kemper adds makes it preferable to an amp.

    For 300 bucks more is it that much better than the tonex?

    • @mikec8815
      @mikec8815 3 місяці тому +3

      Im not gonna debate if the amps sound better on one or another but I have both and if I had to sell one it would be Tonex. To me the FX in Kemper are worth the $300 extra.

    • @derekellerbe4251
      @derekellerbe4251 3 місяці тому +1

      With the tonex you just get an amp. If you think about it you’ll have to buy effects for the tonex so you may find yourself spending the same or more to have what you need. The player is not marketed to compete with the tonex because it has more to it. For instance putting the tonex with an hx effects you’d still spend more. Besides kemper has been used on countless albums and is still widely used in many professional studios and $700 is a pretty big drop from $1600 for the stage.

    • @steveareton697
      @steveareton697 3 місяці тому

      For a somewhat similar price, I really lean towards ToneX + Helix FX with tons of foot switches, scribble scripts, etc.. This is how Jerrod runs his ToneX and sounds great to me and also, unlike this new kemper, ToneX is able to make superb captures in case I ever want to go that direction. Different strokes for different folks - that's all...
