Thanks, mate!
One if the reasons I went with the Kemper was getting real amp distortion instead of using pedals. But I think I will change my method again and just search for the best crunch and then add a booster/pedal/shaper.
I‘m playing a Gibson Les Paul Special with P90s these days. High output and no treble bleed. But at least the bridge still cleans up nicely playing a 2-4 gain bars profile.
I dunno, I feel generally the Kemper shines at low and medium gain profiles. But I think it‘s just because of the profiles. Either the profile creators care more about clean profiles or higher gain profiles need much more adjustment for each particular guitar.
Also, I think there‘s something that just makes higher gain profiles played through a cab at low volumes sound wrong. It doesn‘t matter with headphones but out of the cab our memory tells us it doesn‘t sound right.
