finding the ac sim decent.
Esp with delay widening, but need to spend more time.
Ive noticed it seems to sound alot more realistic using single coils though or coil tapped humbuckers.
Alot more chimey sounding.
Has anymore else noticed this?

oh and ps.
Sounds very different if you drop it in the pre stack effects to the post.
Even with the stack off
I've already put a rig on the exchange called 'Acoustic 12 string' - try that. The 12 string part just has some doubling and pitch shifting so you can turn those off if you want.
Just tried it...nice.
I do get some variable results ( in terms of noise) which I suspect might actually be a result of other set up issues. I first used an acoustic sim profile ( an old one) and switched off cab and amp but it was horrible ( lots of hiss). I then used the Morgan Ac 30 and it sounded really good, even though I also switch off the stack.
The concern I have seems to be signal to noise...In other words, I have never touched Clean sense etc and wondering that's it showing up input level questions. Does that make sense?
I've not had a lot of time to play around but I'll keep digging..
few people have mentioned noise.
If im honest for me ive got no noise at all.
Even with noise get rolled right off.

Yeah I think its the set up...its clearly sensitive and seems to be a signal to noise ratio type of thing...
No. Right! I didn’t even think of that to get it louder. Thx. My real problem is that hiss. Very annoying.
I'm not getting any hiss whatsoever, but I'm also not getting any sound remotely close to an acoustic. I play PRS (obviously) and I'll certainly try any suggestions! I want this to work so badly, for exactly the reasons given above.

that's not really surprising, is it?

Yep, the best results are from the neck single (or humbacker connected in series or only with one section) pickup for me.
Have you seen this? Perhaps Thomas knows the Rig settings for that PRS:

Call me stupid... but why ?

I've tried 245, 58/15, 5708, and P90. All PRS pups with varying results, but none horrible.
You are turning off the amp and cab, correct? And turn parallel path off too.
P90's sound great too.

I think it is becouse of the input signal structure. Humbuckers tends to tame high frequency content. And the bridge pickup have less low frequency content. Simulator use existing frequency content to simulate AC guitar sound. If there is no high or low frequency in the input signal there is hard to shape this low level signals. The AC sound is based mostly on Low body resonance and High strumming sound(
this is obviously a big simplification).

Yup, all turned off. Any other suggestions? (I may have 58/15's, haven't checked on that...)

Thanks Paul, perhaps I just need to change my shade of nail polish and all will be fine in Hobbiton once again...! Thomas who? That sounds "ok" to me, but not authentic. Honestly I had much better acoustic sounds from my PRS 22 Piezo and/or my Music Man Petrucci Maestro, though they had some other negative issues. Nevertheless, they sounded far superior acoustically. What could I do to improve on the Kemper AC SIM that I'm not already doing?
In my PRS there is a push pull Vol Pot which is rewire humbacker's to singles(only one section of the humbucker is working), and you can get best results with neck single coil pickup
Thomas who?
He runs the Skating Dog Production page on youTube - the host of many Kemper Acoustic Sim videos.

Off course you will have better tone from piezo.
The piezo transducer is based on vibration and not on the signal from electromagnetic pickups. It is obvious that it will sound better because the simulation is for electromagnetic pickups. If you have piezo - use piezo. Why bother with simulation? You will never get better resutls then with piezo pickup . I see it in this way(soundwise) :
- electric guitar with neck humbucker + SIM is worst then
- electric guitar with neck single pickup + SIM is worts then
- electric guitar with piezo pickup is wost then
- acoustic guitar with piezo pickup is worst then
-acoustic guitar with mic + preamp + good room
