The body is one-piece swamp ash. Really digging this guitar!

I'm also going to build an AI amp, but it's going to sound 4.6 times better. I'll be taking deposits soon so I can finish my design and arrange manufacturing. 😉

I think we each freaked out a bit during the first few months. It really seems like an insurmountable challenge, but... thankfully due to the sigmoid curve your rate of learning will go exponential if you just stick with it and take your time. 🎵🎵🎶🎶

My opinion is that the Kemper is best when you embrace it for what it is, rather than drilling into the differences between it and a tube amp. I also think FRFR is the best sound, but it's not a tube amp. If you want that tube amp blasting on stage sound, then a tube amp is still the best choice. I love a quiet stage, so that's the opposite of what I'm after. Diversity makes the world go around. 😎
Are other band members or friends in the audience saying your tone used to be better?
-
That's awesome that you're enjoying it and that you've taken the band sound up a big notch. My experience also. 😎

This is the never-ending battle. I also use my ears.
It would be good to be able to label each profile for volume L/M/H and have a leveling algorithm that sets the volume of each profile/ slot based on an estimation of apparent volume. AI in rig manager maybe. 😉

I think it's safe to say I need re-education. Focal seems to be killing it.

You're talking about personal taste. Different people like different music and amounts of distortion.
As for the Kemper - it takes a "snapshot" of the target amp as mentioned above, so any tweaking technically takes you away from the original amp. This can be good or bad depending on your personal taste.
You could start with a 5150 profiled at maximum, brutal gain and sculpt it into something that sounds a bit like a Fender Champ, but taking a profile of a Champ is how most here would approach it.
-
Just a 2- button switch would probably be useful to have a couple of other gain options (eg: treble booster, solo boost).
-
I haven't seen that functionality. I usually save a copy of a profile and edit that so I can go back and compare the 2 in the harsh light of day.

I love my Sennheiser HD280 Pro headphones. I've tried a couple of other pairs and they sound the best to me.

I really like the sound of an AC30 for clean tones with humbuckers and P90s. I use the Michael Britt 65 ACE30 pack.
For more sparkly single coil stuff I use profiles from the Tweedy and D-Pack collections (also Britt).
Make sure you turn up for the clean sounds and if you knock a bit of spike off the top, turn up to compensate. 😎

Amp Factory profiles Gilmore's Hiwatt. I think it's in pk2 . He was giving away the Gilmour effects settings with it.. Worth checking out
I had a look on their website and can't find any Gilmour reference. Any suggestion? Cheers

Correction: Mine are MR524. My room is really small.

Happy New Year from NZ.
Pics from last night and this morning certainly feel like the end of the decade and fresh start.

I use a pair of Mackie MR824 studio monitors and they sound really good. There's also a smaller and less powerful MR524 if the room is small and you want to save some money.
I also agree that you should get a pair rather than just 1.
