Kemper Pedal In Lieu of JHS Morning Glory - Transparent OD

  • The Kemper has the Tube Screamer and Boosters. I can't find a good effect that will replace my Morning Glory. I like the Morning Glory for both electric and acoustic rigs. Am I missing something inside the Kemper that acts like a good transparent overdrive. Thank you

  • I am not much of an expert, but I use several options for that sound:

    A.) a soft shaper with a bit of level boost

    B.) add a bit of gain, volume, and mids with the morph function

    C.) I have a present Tone junkies did for a Blues Breaker a few years ago where they used an eq to scoop the mid hump of the Green Scream.

  • Studio EQ in front of the AMPLIFIER.
    Boost the Volume on the stomp, use high- and low-pass to sweeten the sound while keeping the mids flat.

    If it really were a transparent OD, the Pure Boost would sound like it - an overdrive pedal will always bandpass (high-pass + low-pass) and probably skew the frequency balance to achive a good sound.
    At least all the ones I had, opened up and/or measured did.
