There are great profiles available on the rig exchange, you don’t need TJ or Britt to get a great one. I found a Brunetti Maranello profile that just rips. The stock AC profile is a great platform for building a clean rig. You can make a Kemper sound as good as any tube amp, it just takes a bit of experience and time. If you gig, modelers/profilers are absolutely the way to go. FOH quality is the same every time, stage sound is the same every time…and quieter. If you’re a player who flies to gigs and rents a back line, Al, you need to take is your guitar and a thumb drive.

Tube amps? Love them, but they’re really starting to become too expensive to maintain. Tubes are stratospheric expensive. Which might further drive modelers/ profilers to the next level of development.

Agree, my Kemper has stayed on the new free M Britt liquid profile of a Fender Twin since they released it.

If i was looking at a small form factor for trade shows I'd look hard at either the Tonex or the new Kemper Player that just came out, not as many features as the Quad Cortex but it may have enough of them at a fraction of the price.

Yeah I had a ton of profiles from Michael Britt and Tone Junkie. They sounded great, but just prefer my Axe Fx 3. At this point, if you can't get a good tone out of these modelers, it's more of a you problem.
