Is it Tonex or is it Kemper?? | Which is Most Accurate Versus the Real Amp? 

To be honest, I don't think these days it really matters. Get a Kemper, get a ToneX... make awesome music. You can. You have the power... you have the technology. haha :D.

A Kemper, B ToneX.. Kemper has a “pling” in the pick attack that I cannot “un-hear” anymore. And which is slightly present in clip A.

I agree with the comment that it is so close that the less expensive option wins. It is also a valid point that liquid profiles may add a functionality that goes beyond this type of comparison.

B sounds closer to the real amp for me

Thanks for the great video. Question - why does the Kemper Brit 800 sound so much different (and better) than the Tonex Brit 800 in that last song demoing your profile packs? Based on the audio examples the Kemper was slightly worse than the Tonex but in your profile pack the Kemper sounds way better. The tonex is weird sounding.

So close it wouldn’t matter to me at all. Which means the winner for me would be the least expensive one.

This is a huge win for tonex.

A -Kemper , B -TONEX

Both sound really good and that’s the important thing. I think that it’s a matter of form factor and features that is becoming the deciding factor now. Also now that Kemper have released the Liquid Profile technology it’s only a matter of time before we see similar things for Tonex, Quad Cortex etc.

With Liquid Profiles you cannot compare Kemper to normal "Capture Machines", any more. Kemper did the next step in usability. So the deal goes far beyond just comparing sounds. You only have one profile in the Kemper, now - the according amp channel with its according tone stack. It is like plugging into a real amp and dealing with its knobs now. It's not far from the modellers approach but with a much more realistic amp sound. Kudos Kemper.

Kemper has the best ecosystem..

Its close enough that the price difference becomes a huge consideration.

This video should annoy a bunch of people 😂

I bought a Kemper Stage yesterday.

B is ToneX. Its higher frequency content, which is often the giveaway in modeling and profiling, is noticeably closer to the real amp. Those same frequencies sound a bit nasal in A - some describe it as a subtle “cocked wah” sound with the Kemper.

I hardly hear a difference, they all sound pretty great to be honest. I think A sounds slightly closer to the real amp, maybe. I know I love my Tonex pedal through my Helix!!!

I can't tell in the battle verses the real amp... however in the part for the 800 packs I prefer the Kemper

Both sounded very close to the real Amp. I think Clip B more closely matched the bass response of the real Amp. Kemper recently introduced their "Liquid Profiling" feature, which is supposed to make it easier to dial in the Modeler to the real Amp. So, I'm guessing that Clip B was the Kemper.

No clue which one is which but B sounded basically the same as the real amp

Like the B clip. I assume its tonex, cuz it has the "same" gain as the real amp. People say kemper profiling gives more gain than the original

Not much in it but. I have no idea which is which, but I think Clip B sounds a little closer to the real amp.

I think A was the Tonex and B was the Kemper. The first one just had a slight difference sonically in my opinion.

A = Kemper B = Tonex

Thanks for this compare, it's eye-opening. a) Tonex $300. b) Kemper $1600. c) They sound about the same (though reviews say Kemper sounds more compressed). d) Liquid Profiling is not a big deal. Conclusion: Gimme one of them Tonex things!

To my ears clip B was closest to original amp. My guess is that it is the Kemper based on the 800 pack demo recordings at the end

A-kemper B-tonex

i'd say A is Kemper, B is tonex. I'm a kemper player since 2019 (first stage batch) the B clip sounds more like the amp to me.

I believe A is Kemper and B is Tonex. Kemper is doing something different in the midrange and Tonex is more accurate to the original amp. Final answer. A: Kemper B: Tonex

Clip b sounds really close, ithink that’s the kemper

A is Tonex and B is Kemper

To me B was closer to the real amp. Caveat - i did not have good Studio monitors available. I was under the impression that the top end of A was a bit damped, B was more true to it but also did not have all of the punch of the real amp. B is the ToneX A the Kemper? For the record - I play modelers and profilers nearly 100% of the time - I’m not in the „harsh digital“ camp :-)

All these clips are sounding great, so no matter what is what 😂 the difference is minor

B sounded exactly like the amp

B is definitely ToneX (because lack of gain)

My guess is clip "A" is the Tonex, "B" is the Kemper. My ears hear more of a difference with clip "A" compared to the original amp audio, so whatever source clip "B" is would be the one that I found more accurate to the original direct miked amp. I decided the "A" was the Tonex, because I find the IK Multimedia stuff has a bit of their own colouring compared to the original amps they are modeling. It's going to be interesting finding out the results. Great video idea, Jason. And I like the song at the end of this video. Awesome tune! 👍😎

I believe clip B is the most accurate and probably is tonex

B is kemper and sound better, A lost the high freq and it is ToneX
