Hey,
I plan on upgrading my gear in a couple of months hopefully. Did some research, and I have narrowed down my choice to Kemper or Marshall JVM410H+2x12 cab (either 1936 or EVH III 2x12).
I hear all these great sounds that people pull off using KPA. It wears many hats, and does it really well. A big plus. It's just - ultimately, it's a software emulation, and as such it surely will become obsolete at some point, and at the end be replaced by KPA v2/3/etc, similar to how an older gen PC gets replaced by something newer. But I am not that bothered by this, since it already provides pretty convincible results!
OTOH JVM is great, and although pretty versatile for a tube amp, it's obviously nowhere near Kemper in that department. But it will never get "outdated".
What's big for me is - reliability in live use. JVM is obviously good in this regard, while I've heard some issues that people have had when using KPA live.
It's a big investment, and I intend to use it for many years, hence my doubts.
What's your take on this?
