I reeeaaally need to read up on the latest version of the Axe FX and the Kemper as a whole. Does the Kemper do effects?

It does indeed! Give me a call sometime this weekend and we can go over it; I've had the KPA for about a week now and think it could be perfect for what you're going for, especially when it comes to on-the-fly tweakability, learning curve, and ease of use.
 
Re: Versatility for a cover gig?

I'll give you a call sometime soon. I'm in the middle of an 8-day stretch of working and today's the long day with both work and school. But I'll call you and pick your brain soon enough. ;)
 
Re: Versatility for a cover gig?

I did a quick search in the kemper manual, and there are "main outs" that you can send right to the mixing board.

Audiophiles should be excited about this because it means you will get your sound only in the mix and not altered by drums etc, and it is a GREAT sound since it has IRs in it. axefx2 can do this too! axefx1 cannot since the IRs are not installed into the actual unit.

so you get the real delay ping ponging through the mixer, and you signal chain is always perfect.

Sounds good Brenno! Mondays/Wednesdays are shot for me but otherwise I should be free to take a call.

True on all counts but the Axe1; it can and does do that and I know a few guys who run setups where they've got the cab on stage and send the direct signal to FoH. The only thing that changed in the IR section of the AxeII was the resolution of them
 
Re: Versatility for a cover gig?

this is exactly what you need. I've actually never seen one like it - it looks like a regular TB box with 8 loops, but IT'S PROGRAMMABLE and can control your amp. That's pretty damn cool. If that one doesn't work with your amp, they have one with just 8 pedal loops.

I posted this one before, it looks pretty killer for a cover band if you are an audiophile:



modelerz get outdated with better stuff, you may be able to get by with your emgs in your ltd and a couple pedals really, but audiophile stuff is kinda fun

I've seen these types of devices before... they usually take up a lot of real estate on the pedalboard but that's one way to get it done. I would still have to add effects into it as well.

That reminds me... anyone here a Voodoo Lab GCX switcher user? I think RD had one a while back.

I like my emgs... for now :D In all seriousness the 85 in the neck and a 60A in the bridge has done very well for me. I'd still like to try the 18v mod on it though.

If I need more versatility and "traditional" tones as well as splitting for the upcoming project I may go with some '59/Custom hybrids.
 
Re: Versatility for a cover gig?

I'm with RD...much more important to hit the right notes with the right feel than to have the exact tone. Just find the sounds you get from your current rig that get you closest, and rock on.
