I'm helping out in a 2nd band for a few weeks (80ies/90ties rock covers). To keep things simple I just use my Marshall head there (New band setup...help needed!)
In my main band I was always happy with my solo/lead sound. Usually I added some gain, EQed the mids and added some subtle delay.
Playing with my Marshall now again more often I was surprised about the great lead sound. I simply forgot how good it is.
I just use a high gain channel (JVM 205, overdrive channel, orange mode) and the guitar sings and sings...lots of sustain. Really great. No need for any extra pedal.
For some reason I can not get that same lead/solo sound on the Kemper by just using an amp profile (without adding distortion, delay etc.).
Am I only using the wrong profiles or did you make the same experiences?
Cheers,
Rainer
