An hour of M Britt and HW talking guitars! What a day. I have my Kemper because of the passion Michael Britt expressed to me at local guitar shop in Nashville. Best guy ever. So kind. Now look at the Kemper.

I only recently moved over to Kemper from helix. The thing that was surprising for me was that I was always told helix had better effects. I was blown away how much better the Kemper reverbs and delays sound

For the DIY tech types, Squiers can be a great steal. Most things can be fixed, replaced, etc.

Japanese Tokai Strats, Teles, Les Paul's and 335s the guitar world's best kept secret!

The way I am is, I support those that are loyal to the product I own (Kemper). I understand that people have to make a living somehow, but I promote the guys who are putting 100% into the one product. MBritt is one of a handful of names that I can wholeheartedly recommend on the Kemper groups.

Kemper, "Still the king after 10 years" 👑

Two of my favourite guys great to listen to you bounce of each other....great to watch...I would like to have more slots for pedals, also have the pedal be more versatile so you can have a volume switch to volume.

One thing you have to say the kemper is being constantly updated. So it was definitely worth the initial outlay. Great video guys. Loved it 🤘

Been a faithful Kemper user a year into its inception. Glad that Christoph still breathes life into the KPA! Great job HW and MBritt!

I fell asleep while I was watching this video with headphones on and then I had a dream that I was sitting at a table with Jonathan and Michael at Franklin's BBQ in Austin and I was totally engrossed in the conversation but couldn't get a world in edgewise! We were all in separate cars so when we walked back to our cars in the parking lot, I told Jonathan: "Why didn't you let me get a world in edgewise dude?" to which he responded "what are you talking about?" Then I woke up and realized that the reason I couldn't engage in the conversation was because I was asleep. Interestingly, when I woke up I watched the entire video and the conversation was identical to the conversation from my dream. This proves that when we are sleeping, our brain is still fully capable of processing audio signals with 100% accuracy.

Thanks for the chat. Love it!

Agree the dedicated MONITOR OUTPUT is a big deal to me as well 😳

I have a 2015 MIJ strat in 64 spec that is probably the best strat I’ve ever played. They’re so good.

So, hot take ahead 😅 I’m a 50 year old who has been teaching guitar since 1993. I run a private lesson program with 160 students. I’ve owned only tube amps in my entire life: a peavey ranger for a week and a Supro Delta King for a few months. I started in 89 with a gorilla amp, graduated to a Crate G40CXL after a few months and began gigging in the 90s with peavey trans tube amps with a GT-3 in front. In 04 I got into home recording and discovered plugins, using the original amplitube, izotope trash, and a behringer V-amp. However, my ears settled on POD Farm. When I began gigging again in 09, I was playing a POD X3 live direct to the board in my 80s/90s nostalgia band. I loved it. Im a guy who never played cranked amps live. Currently, I play a Helix and a GX-100……….and I love them. Now I also have worked music retail for 25 years so I DO know what you’re talking about regarding feel. But that’s not what’s natural to me……..at all. My ears and fingers find even the original POD Farm sounds to be excellent, being able to from glassy to driven with a POD Farm plexi. I guess, because I never experienced insanely loud glowing glass (where would I play a bassman that loud?!?), my ignorance makes me perfectly happy with a helix……and I love how it looks at my feet. It inspires me while on stage or in the studio because I guess I like pretty colors. I can’t be alone. Having never been spoiled by owning killer tube amps, even what your viewers would consider mediocre modelers feel like home to me. I’d much rather focus on making music, practicing musicianship, and touching peoples hearts with articulation and note choice than sweating over Kemper VS Fractal. Besides, your Helix presets are brilliant and I can’t fathom how it sounds in any way “less than”. Thanks for listening.

Speaking of inexpensive guitars, I recently purchased a Squier JazzMaster and it is a terrific guitar. It took me a bit to get it up to snuff. I had to work on the frets, there was a grounding issue and some other tweaks like bending the vibrato arm so it does not fall out or flop around. It is quite awesome now. Never in a million years did I ever consider buying a Squier dut to snobbery but I wanted a cheap JM style guitar and read good things (and lots of bad) about these. SW was blowing them out so I bought it having never played it. 1st time I have ever done that and on a guitar series I thought I would never buy. It stays in tune even after using the bar. That might be the biggest shocker to me. Hell I put it down for a week and picked it up from the stand and it was perfectly in tune.

Helix now has gapless switching between presets BUT you are limited to 9 blocks on one signal path as the gapless processing is now handle by that second core....or something like that.

Great video guys 🤙

You guys are the awesome. Thank you for all you do!

for me the helix fits my needs

I have a QC and love what I can do with it and the sounds but my only grip is not being able to drag and drop the playlist order.

You know John Bollinger who works for Premier Guitar plays all the time on Broadway in Nashville at Layla's Honky Tonk with a female singer Krista Dudley.

HW... do you put the Helix Native Before... or after Tonex most of the time? That's a great idea! Now I need to go and build a bank of just Fx in Helix for this usage. thanks!

Oh, I love this clickbait title! I once impulsively sold one of the guitars and after a while found myself looking for a chain of its owners to buy back. So I don't sell my guitars now :) Michael Britt genius! 🔥

It seems what we love about guitars, effects, and amps is their differences, not their similarities. Everyone is different, and gives our ears something new to stimulate musical ideas. So ultimately there's no limit to the gear we need. At least that's what I'm telling my wife!

What profile is m.britt using while playing?

I look forward to the Quad Cortex release! I would most definitely buy your presets. I exclusively use your presets when I play through my QC. Tones are GLORIOUS!

I wonder if Michael knows that you can use RM now to do profiling? He has done so many so I am sure he is just fine doing the old way but I like that RM can control it now.

The Kemper is great, but the profiles are not as "full spectrum" as profiles with NAM, Tonex, or even the Quad Cortex. Wet/Dry/Wet is very simple with the Kemper. However, Kemper profiles suffer from loss in the high and low end compared to the other options. I loved my Kemper, but its profiles had an apparent mid-range push that dominated. The Tonex has the upper clarity and even voice in the bottom end that the Kemper profiles just don't have. It wasn't something that EQ could fix in my experience. The "information" in those frequencies just wasn't there in Kemper profiles. The null tests really bear this out.

M britt seems like a top guy.

HW will you please ask Michael to make a video explaining the IR's he sales on his site?

Seems like Michael couldn't care less about NAM and Tonex. It's a pity.

Camera angles. Wtf?

Please more chorus

Let him speak lol

I love me a good cheap Strat 🤘🏼 Also, Michael Britt rules 💪🏼
