This will cause a serious decrease in KPA sales for sure. People are canceling their orders because they don't want to decide before hearing what Axe can do with profiling. Clever move from Fractal.

I doubt it. Just because one or two forum members say they are cancelling their orders is not really big time news. One swallow does not make a summer !

Did you see this part Jon? Looks like someone else had the same idea I put forward several months ago... HIDE THAT FUGLY MO FO! :D

I assume the knobs are fake. Right?

That looks really good Craig, might have to do that with mine. I have thought the Kemper if fucking ugly from day 1, and after playing with it for a couple of weeks now I think it's getting even uglier.....I hate the look of the thing, but the sound is excellent and the big thumbs up is that you have real knobs for tweaking which is brilliant....I still can't get my head around why it's taken this long for someone to create a unit that can be tweaked with real knobs instead of fiddling about with multi-function buttons.

What a load of BS.
Cliff's sitting with a Kemper on his workbench whilst he writes DSP for the Axe-FX...who won that war? ;D
The Kemper is the "Dumble" of digital.
For the next 10 years every modelling company will be trying to make a Dumble, and they'll all come close, but there'll always be something missing...and that's if Mr Kemper goes to sleep for 10 years.
If he stays awake then he'll always be ahead of the chasing pack because he's too fucking clever for them all...he invents & they copy. ;D
When they're ready to tone match isolated guitar tracks then I'll send them a track done with a Telecaster, let's see if the Axe can match every aspect of the tone in a 'raw amp' manner, not a Hi Fi manner, without the current compressed 'honk' that dominates every Axe-FX amp model.

And, btw, notice no use of the word "Profiling", that belongs to the Kemper 'Patent'. 8-)
All kinds of other words being used, 'tone matching', 'EQ curve matching', blah blah. ;D
It's like a 4 track tape recorder many years ago, you recorded your LP onto tape, but the tape only sounded as good as the hi fi set you played it back on.
Let's see how good a hi fi set the Axe-FX11 is? :)

Profiling is patented by Kemper? Seems like the FBI has been doing that for 30+ years...

He starts doing it and the first thing he profiled (matched...whatever...) was a Kemper! ;D

Are you sure it was a Kemper? I'm not. Interesting in that one, the AxeFX model sounded better to me than the original.

BTW, you know that's Patent "Pending," not issued, right? And the patent is sufficiently narrow that it would be fairly easy to make your own "profiling" amp and not infringe on the patents. For example, the patent for the KPA is based on the idea of an already-existing distortion "model" that the KPA then compares to the result of the various profiling tech, and what you play is the difference between the "golden model" and the results of your profiling. So if your method of "profiling differs from that in any way, you are fine. Also, in his patent, he calls the invention "Musical Instrument with Acoustic Transducer". He didn't even attempt to patent the term "profiling," as that would be foolish.
