Yeah, I accidentally took them down from YouTube. I think the Kemper has a more organic sound/feel.The orig videos are no longer avail in the orig posts. Did you prefer the Kemper's tone over the Fractal's?

Ah...So the 'Top Jimmy' reference is a Kemper profile or something, not a Fractal preset? I was hoping to hear some 1984 tones out and playing out of the Fractal. I can't get enough. Of course Top Jimmy was with the Ripley, I believe. Anyhooo... nice tone. I jammed along while watching/listening.Yeah, I accidentally took them down from YouTube.

how long has it been since you've played an axe-III? many would say just the opposite.Yeah, I accidentally took them down from YouTube. I think the Kemper has a more organic sound/feel.
I just use the Eruption factory preset. I think it's close enough.
For the life of me I can't figure out how folks get the factory presets to sound so good.
This is my favorite EVH patch. It was created by @ProgressiveRocco.

That's odd, I had the exact opposite experience. I worked with the axe III going deep into every setting for two years straight and could never get the sounds I was looking for. With the Kemper it was instantly close and with a little tweaking good to go. I must say though I don't create my own profiles, just using high quality ones from main providers.Just get a Kemper. I came from the Kemper. I profiled all mu studio tones that I had as programs in my rack setup. Using pro gear like Neve preamps Royer, Sennheiser, and shure mics, as well as all the great stuff in my guitar rack. I could never get the mids to sound as they should after the profile was done. It didn't matter if I did the capture or someone else there was this oddity in the mids that was not right. I used the Kemper for almost 8 years before I grabbed the AX3. There is zero comparison.
Yes you will need to dial in your tone, which usually will not be quick. Expect 1-2 weeks to get all your tones correct, especially if you are trying to copy tones you used on albums, or others tones they used on albums.
If you just want 1 tone and 1 tone only and don't want to tweak or really do much dialing in a tone, then the Kemper is what you want. I hate tones other people try to dial in, because they are never what I need or how my fingers work with the guitar or how I pick, etc... This is where a Kemper fails for me, even when you are capturing your own tones.
