Having re-read the previous responses, I will say this: The Kemper is an amazing piece of gear - I will be testing it severely during the next two weeks. I frankly don't care what the fanbois think, nor the hopeless critiques - I just want to see what it can do tonally.

Quoted from "Radley"

All I said is, I don't care for your HC. If others do - so be it. That's fine with me.

It's very obvious you have a negative view of the HC, but why so vocal, and so defined?

Have you ever tried or owned one?
Just can't let it go, can ya? Nope, please don't misunderstand, I don't have a negative view of your HC.
I listened to the clips of your HC back at the old Line6 forum when you adressed the PodXT back then and my *personal* preference were the clips without the HC added. It was just *my personal* preference. That doesn't mean shit and it is nothing against you.

I would just ask of you to keep your posts a bit "cooler". I did not like the tone in your post to Guitartone - that's how this started.

You guys really need to read the small print:

Quoted from "Radley"

PS: I can already tell that a certain 'tone enhancing device' yours truly designed would help the Kemper immensely (especially the overdrive tones), but I will not go into it - let's just say the Kemper distortion has a tendency towards 'fizziness' and a 'scattered' high end.
I disagree about that. It can be as fizzy as the real amp and the effect would be more noticeable depending on the mic used and its position, just like with real amps recordings. Keep in mind that there is good profiles but also terrible ones. Switching cabs is the best way to "fix" profiles made with mics not placed "properly".

I don't think the KPA needs any 'tone enhancing device' and I have to agree with others that maybe this thread is not the best place to advertise it. Maybe you can open a new one on the other gear section.

There is sadly one point that you are absolutely missing. When you profile an amp, you have a chance to do and A/B comparison. Most of the people reported that they got the SAME tone profiled versus the original (and you may need to refine a few times to get there, but you CAN), so I wouldn't say that the Kemper tends to be overly fizzy or anything... it's just as fizzy as a real life amp.
