I notice most people don't like the rigs that come with the Kemper preloaded as I do. I really think there is a huge difference with the guitar being used and what we listen thru that make us hear various things among other variables.
I was very pleased with many of the Factory rigs right off the bat. I was extremely grateful that my ears heard Bell like qualities to single note runs, and just made my playing/practicing so much more fun...
I have some of Andy's and Soundside, and they are great, but I really cant say for my ears that the Factory rigs are not up to Par.. As a matter of fact, some are excellent to me.. However, the ones I like on my Parker Fly, I may not like on my PRS SE245 , and vice versa.
Which brings me to this....The strangest phenomenon is that no matter what modeler I have ever used, past or present, I could love a particular patch one day, and two days later, it does not sound as good to me... I chalk this up to various things, but it is a very frustrating experience. I always thought it was a "poor power quality" issue , then maybe humidity levels ,and / or temperature differences, and maybe how my mood is at the time... But in any event, I was (and still am ) very pleased with the Kemper sounds.. My ony beef is I love to have an Editor on my PC , and I wish the USB could turn this into an audio interface ... But I can live with those things , because I find tones easily to Enjoy
