Hello everyone and nice to meet you!
A couple of days ago the Fm3 was delivered at my door and...all the problems I've had with the Kemper suddenly dissapeared!
My initial intention was to get the Fm3 as something more portable (I have the toaster), and maybe get some extra tones I can hear at some demos which I couldn't quite get with the Kemper. But it turned out much better than I expected.
The noise gate is awesome, it doesn't kill your transient or sustain, the effects are much better (finally a great and musical reverb), the editor is super fast, light and works with win7 (which Kemper editor doesnt).
And the tones? Omg the tones! It's like having the best of the best profiles of every amp, but you can also tweak them as much as you like without getting unnatural results. There is no cocked wah effect anymore which I couldn't get rid of in half the Kemper profiles, the sound is much more 3D, amp-like and open, and the feel/response is as good as in the kemper.
The stomps are doing what actual stomps are supposed to do and inside one preset I can basically dial in a whole lot of my favourite profiles but with better tone and more possibilities I had been searching for years for the best Marshall, Fender, Boogie and Vox tones but with the kemper there was always something missing.
And of course, the icing on the cake, it's more affordable and more portable.
I thought that Kemper and Fractal products were on the same league, but not anymore! I should had bought a Fractal modeller years ago!
