You'll be all over that thing before you know it. The Kemper's sophisticated yet logical in its design and layout. Plus, when you twist knobs, stuff actually happens, which isn't always the case with modellers, especially those that appear to be too clever by half. I think you'll find the stack EQ knobs to be surprisingly-effective, for example, requiring very-little adjustment to get to where you want to go, and yet the EQ itself is so very musical. Mighty impressive all-round IMHO, this thing is, but you know that or you wouldn't be here!
Das Kemper is very responsive..
In the Pod HD the names of the amps didn't always mean a whole lot, you had to fiddle with the amp, different cab, different mic, pile on a bunch of eq's that made no sense (everything in %).
I downloaded my first amp pack from TopJimi (thanks hamsandwich). That 59 Twin sounds amazing!! Got that Brown Sugar sound with little tweaking.
I haven't read the profiling manual yet but the one thing that is strange to me is there are many profiles for one amp (such as different levels of gain), my initial impression was you profile an amp once and there you have it, just like your sitting in front of it tweaking it. Maybe the multiple profiles are for different mics, rooms etc.
Yes my Gretsch has BlackTop FilterTron. It's a hotter Rock style pickup, the other is a Hi Lo Tron type of pup, my favorite for Twang and Jazz is the combination of the 2 and mix them with volume controls.
Thanks for kind welcome everyone...
Hey Monkey_Man is your handle for the Stones song? (that's the next tone I want to nail, or Honky Tonk Women) or could be the original Toots & Maytal
