:D :D (Info: read topic subject with an imaginary Jamaican accent!) :D

Ok seriously, in light of recent events, it would be cool if we could profile some analog distortion boxes like vintage Rats, Tube Screamers, Bigg Muffs etc. and store them as "pedal profiles" instead of "amp profiles".

The only problem I see is that they will have all the same generic controls (let's say: gain, tone, volume, mix) and will not reflect the originals....but if it works with the amp part (lot more complex) it should work also with the pedals. Hope the DSP can run 2 profiles (pedal.amp) at the same time.

Yes, you're right. You won't have the characteristic "tone controls" of the original and the way they interact. I didn't even think of that.
Hmmmmm... maybe if the "profile morphing" thing will ever be possible or available, it would increase the attractivity of a "stomp pedal"-profiling possibility.

These distortion pedals are all modeled in the stomp section.
No need to profile them.

And actually you can profile most other distortion pedals, best in combination with your amp.
Have you tried it?

Yes, I see that. I think the point of my post was to be able to profile any distortion pedal and put it in the stomp section. The point is moot however, as you'd only be profiling one setting of said pedal - so I guess you're right - it's best to do it in combination with the amp.

Mr. Kemper, i see your point and I think the included stomps are really well done but...

1). I think many of us bond with our pedals and their little nuances over time just like the amps that we profile.

2) There would be a huge value in being able to perfectly set up a stacked signal chain, profile it and then twiddle the knobs to get another perfect pedal stack and then be able to have them all on command without having to remember how you set it up before. Ex. Strymon compressor in treble boost mode pushing strong into G2 clone into SHO vs Strymon comp in flat boost mode lightly pushing into COT, etc. No more frustration in trying to remember what worked best.

3) No more unplugging and rearranging pedals to switch the order of things - You like your Timmy into your Klon and your Klon into your Timmy... profile them both ways and presto.

3). Mobility - I could essentially leave most of stomp boxes at home.

I hope you don't close the book on this suggestion.

Love my KPA nonetheless!

I successfully profiled my two tube distortion stomp pedals (Damage Control Liquid Blues and Solid Metal).
So this should work I think. Put it would also be nice if we could just profile any pedal :D :D

You can actually profile most distortion pedals. Make your profiles in combination with your amps, and both will be combined into a new amp profile. There is only a few exceptions, mainly those pedales that are available as modeled stomps.

I tried an old SansAmp TRI-AC, and was shocked how close the profile sounded! Amazing!

I will model both my Sansamp character pedals, Liverpool and British, before they go to Ebay.
Just for fun though, as I think that the AC 30 and Marshall profiles that are already available for the KPA are lightyears ahead of what the Sansamps can deliver.
