Fractal Fanatic
This is simply a Ford vs. Chevy debate. Both are great. Both have the same failure rates, but they acquire a good or bad reputation based on whichever opponents whine the loudest. To each their own.
I am tempted to get the Kemper, just for the sake of GAS. But I have come to the sobering realization that GAS is merely my way of expressing my disappointment in my own playing ability, and putting the blame or the hope on that next piece of gear that is going to enable me to break on through to the other side, as it were.
The forum members that post amazing tracks, would sound great...and beyond my abilities by using a DAW plug-in for a guitar rig. Their gear doesn't matter -- it's their coordination and most importantly their musicianship.
I can't obtain that through purchase of a box full of electronics and software...of any origin.
I'm sticking with Fractal. The frickin inventor answers questions at 1am. That is worth something to me. Matt doesn't take my calls if he's on a fishing pier on vacation, like he does for Alex Lifeson...but no one's perfect.
