Hi all,
I'd done a load of reading on this and watched the official video but still don't get this 100% tbh. Distortion Sense is easy to understand on the other hand..
I've basically taken the approach of running a high-gain profile with each of my guitars and then adjusted the clean sense to get the volume as close as I can when the gain knob is adjusted from max to min - I've then saved these as input presets for my guitars with whatever clean sense setting appears to give unity volume. I have to say this is a bit difficult however given the differing compression characteristics of clean/distorted signals..
The thing I don't understand is what exactly is it doing? Is it simply increasing the input level of the guitar (post AD conversion) when the gain is rolled down downwards on the Kemper? Does the input change in proportion to the gain setting i.e. as I roll down gain from max to min is the input increased proportionally or does it kick in at a certain gain point?
I've seen posts where people are stating they 'found a sweet spot for this' (based on tonal quality) but I can't hear any real difference in the tone of a stack irrespective of the clean sense setting - a stack rolled back to gain at the lowest level sounds the same to me irrespective of the clean sense setting (providing I adjust the rig volume to compensate for volume change at the output).
Am I missing something here or am I paying the price for years of 4x12 abuse!
Any insights appreciated..
Regards,
Si
