The KPA's foundational amp/distortion model

    I think C Kemper has said somewhere that it may be possible to include tone stacks in a future update can someone confirm this? That would be a great addition. I can kinda hear what Radley is talking about especially in extreme settings but that said i have no problem what so ever getting a very usable liquid smooth hi gain lead sound with no unpleasantness at all. I guess we all have different interpretations of what smooth high gain is hence the different opinions.

    I like audioholics soundfiles. I have no trouble with high gain lead sounds. In fact, they sound very good to me (recording and FRFR!). The legacy high gain posted by Erik Stam is unbelievable good.

    Actually, some of the Kemper info I've read refers to a single amp model that was created to be the 'foundation' for all profiles. If this is the case, obviously it needs to sound and distort like a tube amp, no? And that is the reason for this thread....

    I think you're misinterpreting the "info" you've read....or changing words around to create a different meaning.
    "Single amp model" and the Kempers "distortion engine" are two different things, no?


    "Sound and distort like a tube amp".
    It does, massively better than any digital device I've ever played (haven't played an Axe-FX).


    I think you're not happy with the way the Kempers Gain knob works....but that doesn't mean it doesn't distort like a tube amp.
    You want to turn the gain knob to 8 on a Profile that has the gain set at 3, and you want the gain to re act like a real tube amp...correct?


    Well, I don't need that to happen, I have no problem using a higher gain Profile to achieve the same thing.


    But, stick around, I think Mr Kemper said he'll add tone stacks to future updates...I think that's what you want...correct?
