I imagine this has been discussed somewhere on here before but I have been doing a LOT of reading and posting in the last 2 weeks, so much so I am getting headaches at times. I have taken a bit of time off. A holiday if you will.
The release of the remote has lined up with my extra time so I have been catching up with all things Kemper.
Anyway, I have wondered exactly what the differences are with the two options for getting new rigs and how they are created. So far I have only used the free ones.
Not because I am cheap but because I have found some really good ones that I like. But now I would like to see what the other side has to offer.
Is the difference being more or less a professional sound environment with Pro equipment and Pro knowledge as opposed to Billy doing it in his basement with a Radio Shack mic?
Or is it pot luck and there are some generous Pros giving away his for free and some who do not?
Is there post processing involved on some?
I am asking because I am considering looking into maybe purchasing some.
I just don't want to waste my time and money if I will just end up with the same tones I can get on the exchange. The same tones that have been repeated and beat to death.
Don't get me wrong, there are some really good ones and I truly appreciate their work but there are A LOT of them that sound the same.
Are there some commercial ones that stand out much more than your average free rigs? Are they going the extra mile?
What I would really like is to get ones that are matched to certain bands, songs, or albums.
I like classic rock. Hard rock. Heavy metal. 80s bands. Yes the hair bands, My generation.
In general, can I see a big difference between the two?
I have listened to some but I wonder what I will get on my end with my guitars and their tones. I am using Adam studio speakers so I am guessing I will be keeping pretty close to the original sound except for the guitar colorings.
