Unfortunately no FLAC atm as Dropbox seems to hate me.

1. Kemper

2. Axe 2


(preferring 1)

just guessing. Both units are cool.

I like # 2 the best. It has more bottom and more open sounding.

[RayRay]

I'll guess:

1: KPA
2: Axe

Also, I liked 2 better.

[Harry Hole]

1: KPA
2: Axe

Sounds very similar except that 2 is more "fat", and based on the last comparison nr 2 should be Axe. (I´m talking about the distorted part.)

If I´m right it would be intresting to know if Kemper what so ever is capable of the same "thickness" after dialing and so on, or if it lacks the "thick quality" that Axe obviosly delivers.

If I´m wrong that´s intresting itself... (i.e. that would give an answer to the question above.)

My thought as well, but like Harry said, I don't know how they were dialed in and that could make a big difference.

I liked 2 better...I likes da fat.

Again, both sounded good though. Thanks for posting M~Dan!

My preference for the intro is #1 hands down. #2 sounds too dark to me. For the the heavier parts I could go either way, but I still have a slight preference for #1. The Axe-Fx (of either generation) could match either clip, and it really does not matter to me which is which.

This is clearly not a comparison of the potential of the two platforms, it is a comparison of sounds achieved with arbitrary parameter settings. Either could be dialed much closer to the other than they are in these clips.

1 - Axe-Fx III
2 - Kemper

[Arjan]

My guess would be 1) Kemper and 2) Axe II.

[Pick909]

1) KPA
2) AFX II

The crunch tone of both is wonderfull! The clean tone of the first sample seems more lively more present, I like it better.

1=KPA, 2=Axe

[Scott Peterson]

I prefer Clip 2.

Anything more specific from me would have to be from hearing a higher resolution than MP3.

[OverHTheHill]

I'm guessing:
1-AXE
2-Kemper
I have no preference here, I think both are fine. One is more focused two is more airy it's like choosing between two white cotton pair of socks. Either one will do
I this the same take?

[sae]

I prefer the clean sound on clip 1. Clip 2's clean sound seems a bit muffled to my ears.

Both clips have great distorted tones.

If you can't hear the difference it means that you are ready to sell me your Axe-Fx II at the coupon price.
