Un avis éclairé d'un gars ayant à la fois l'Axe II et le Kemper, apparemment un musicien respecté sur ce site :

"The difference to me in direct recorded tone and through nearfields (and I therefore assume FRFR) is very close. Actually, even going into my EHX Magnum + cab is also very, very close (although I have not tested any profiles that were done with preamp's only or using the Palmer DI which are supposed to be the best ones to use with power amp + cab.
I'm trying to find the right words to describe the actual available tones and I can't. I guess I would say the II is more "HI-FI" while the KPA seems a little more "earthy". Both are exceptional in every way. I honestly was not expecting the KPA to hang so close in virtually every aspect.
(...) When I say HI-FI I mean the II (direct to disk and through nearfields) is very polished, all of the time. The high end sometimes seems a little "crunchy" to me as well. The KPA seems just a little rawer all around, sometimes the high end gets washy a bit, smeared... but it just works well in most cases.
(...) Having now worked with both the AxeFX II and the KPA I feel very relaxed and chill. They are both amazing products, so far beyond the scope of what I could imagine needing (or wanting) for my purposes.
If anyone now tells me one is way better than the other or there is a large gap between the two I will literally laugh in their face, because that is complete and utter bullsh*t.
IMHO, the KPA feels no better than the II. As a matter of fact, I think the II might actually have the slightest of edges in the feel / volume knob interaction at this point, but it's ridiculously close. I (...) The params are also much deeper on the II so now you can get the HI-FI stuff AND dial it into Low-fi... IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING."
