It's not that the sounds are *better* than the Fractal... just that they're instantly there. I love my little HX Stomp as well but it's always a battle to get tones I'm happy with and still think some of the amps just sound pants. Yes, probably user error, but even using patches or guides by the usual YouTube names it never quite gets there for me.
Most of the amps on the Kemper are captured where you'd expect them to be and likely want to use them so you just load up the amp you want and the tone is usually 90% there already. Also, having obviously never actually played most of the amps available in real life, I had no idea when loading up an amp where to set things to get the best out of them without just fiddling etc. With the Kemper, just load up some random cool sounding boutique thing and it's like 'oh cool, that's what one of these sounds like'. So quick and so much fun.
Hooked up to a computer at home and there's knocking on 20k profiles in the rig exchange as well as so much great free stuff bundled it's amazing. No need to download, upload etc to audition as it's just a double click and away you go. With the stage format can use the footswitches for pedals etc and it's just brilliant.
Also worth mentioning, the reverbs and delays available are simply stunning and almost worth the price of admission.
I've not tried an Axe 3 or FM3 but the Kemper sounds more natural than any other processor I've tried.
What is the next step from Kemper for the future? Will there be a newer edition toaster somewhere down the line?
I can't see it anytime soon, but never say never. The Stage is 2 years old, maybe? People would be pretty pissed off it it was obsolete or superseded after such a short amount of time.

I just need to learn how to use it properly now!

Sadly with lockdowns and the band I was in all moving away (they were all military guys) the Kabinet hasn't had a proper tryout.
I'd be interested to know how you get on with the powered Kabinet as I'm interested in having a play with one of these.. did you get it in the UK? I can't seem to find anyone stocking them at the mo..

Ordered direct from Kemper when they announced it, it sounds and feels great at home (when I get a chance to actually plug it in) but not had the pleasure of trying it in a live / band practice situation.
It's very well constructed, nice cover included with it, the little legs to make it angled like a monitor are a nice touch too.
If things weren't like they were (and we wen't about to inject chaos into the house with two kittens - seemed like a good idea at the time!) I'd have invited you round as I'm only in mid-Beds.
Looks like it's still in stock direct with Kemper: https://shop.kempermusic.com/gb/kemper/profiler/80/kemper-power-kabinet - all VAT is paid for, so no Brexit tax on import etc.. was quick delivery for me.
Dave.

I'll get one on order. Good luck with the puddy tats..
