[MusicTlk] Is the Kemper profiling amplifier accessible?

[TheOreoMonster]

Hey Peter,

As far as I know neither Kemper or Axe FX are accessible. Also while the Kemper is only a Profiler similar to the new IK multimedia Tone X, The Axe FX like the Quad Quartet does both modeling and profiling.
Unfortunately none of those high end units are accessible.
The Boss GT-1000 can be sort of accessible, and the fender stuff and the boss Katana are also decently accessible, however the Katana would require 3rd party hardware and app. 
If you are  able to spend the kind of money that a Kemper cost, It may be worth looking into something like a 20 watt tube amp. Friedman I believe has a couple 20 Watt amps with a built in Load and the ability to go direct without any menu’s screens or etc. Alternatively you could consider building a pedalboard rig around something like an IRX or BlueGuitar Amp1. 
From my experience having owned a few moddllers over the years, you spend more time chasing the curiosity  and  trying every amp and rig in the unit instead of  dialing in a good tone and just playing. If you do settle down you  end up using the sameamp or two most of the time. So finding a good amp with a clean and dirt sound you like and a couple pedals may end up being a better investment in the end.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have other questions.
Steve
