AMPERO STAGE II vs KEMPER

I have been using both units ! Both are great but ... YOU LISTEN and be the judge!

[@reecespecis8669]

Bang for bucks hands down the Ampero is head and shoulders above the competition atm

[@Monsoon1030]

Man, such great Wes Montgomery thumb vibe/technique on the dumble demo. Both modelers sound good, but you make em sound great!

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

Many thanks for your kind words!! All the best.

[@keefriff]

Love it...and the Ampero.

[@anthonycosta2662]

I had the kemper and it was great but this little unit is amazing especially for the price. Very hard to beat. The touch screen is as good as it gets.

[@glennanderson9947]

I am sold. I have watched all of your Ampero KZbin reviews and I am putting the Helix back in it's backpack and, thanks to Amazon, my Stage II will be here tomorrow.

[@zsoltpalatinus1117]

Note to myself. Next time I compare two units on similar tones: pay some attention to factory EQ differences and for goodness' sake, turn off delay and reverb :)

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

gee, thanks for the advice ...I should have contacted and expert like you to tell me! There are always a lot of factors that go into comparing anything , and all are subjective. You just CAN'T please everyone.

[@zsoltpalatinus1117]

@@DennyJiosaGuitar Sorry, did not mean to sound too harsh. I just watched a couple of these comparisons, and the most salient difference is always brightness and highs bias most of us this way or the other, while it has not much to do with neither the tone, nor the faithfulness of the modeling. And as much as I love reverb and delay, it makes it difficult to form an idea of the tone. For me, modeling or not, it all boils down to responsiveness. And that is something you can't have any other way but playing the unit yourself, IMHO.

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

@@zsoltpalatinus1117 No worries...I understand ,but I will tell you, as soon as I would have turned those off, someone else would have had a comment about that ....I will be doing more and will show with and without FX. I appreciate your opinion. Have a great day.

Ampero Stage was close but Kemper sounded better to my ears on every example. That being said, I would still chose the Ampero Stage because it's so close!

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

I hope to do more videos as I have gotten to know it better. It takes some tweaking but they are both very close. Thank you!

[@JCW308]

@@DennyJiosaGuitar I think if it had some more low mids it would be spot on. Thanks again for the great video!

[@Willi-Wucher]

For me the Kemper sounded better for all cases.

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

That's fair. I hope to do more with the AMPERO on here. Thanks.

I’ve played my entire Life and the day i plugged into my church system through the Kemper, i was completely blown away. I just wished they had better design. The green look on their products irk me. Are there worship presets for the ampero?

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

I will agree with you on the KEMPER....I don't like the look of it but it sounds awesome. I used my HOTONE at church after years of using the KEMPER and the worship leader liked the STAGE better! There are worship presets for the STAGE but I write my own. The CLOUD reverb is absolutely perfect for it. It is VERY user friendly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWOafZx7adCNjKcsi=dQSG8VCpHTue9JaL

[@ymelfilm]

The very first sample: the Ampero does not sound well at all. Muffled, no treble, Later samples are better in ur video.

[@christopherwalker2097]

I have an ampero...Kemper sounded better on the Marshall...Ampero was good too though

[@DennyJiosaGuitar]

Hi Christopher, thank you for your comment. The Marshall is a profile of my son'2 early JCM800 I did. I agree....it's sounds killer.

[@bikeman1x11]

kemper all the way on the dumble with od same with marshall od but on the low /no gain tones it desnt matter The differences are greater with mid to high gain

[@milankotevski1663]

Ampero all the way.

[@alexervin4321]

im by far an expert, go by the ears. the only differences -for me- are EQ.

[@ymelfilm]

I think that so called high class modelers (Kemper, FX, etc) are good but the prices in the West are ridiculous in every field you look. Greedy societies, greedy governmental politics and firm etc

[@milankotevski1663]

Sorry, but the Ampero sounds 11 times better.

[@georgeharatzoglou]

Sorry but the Kemper sounds 10 times better.

[@andreashanke6497]

Yes, you're absolutely right! I am deaf like you and I have to admit the Kemper sounds much better! If you waste so much money for a museum object it has to sound better! You nailed it! 😂

[@georgeharatzoglou]

@@andreashanke6497 Nice attitude man.Thanks.You nailed it!

[@awclewis]

i was thinking the same thing. hotone was good. but everyrhing he was saying about the hotone applied to the kemper and.viseversa. kemper hands down in this had the better tone. hotone sounded muffled, or on a leash, where the kemper every note was clear and came thru.
