Using Kemper like I use an amp

Hi, I'm new here, but I love the vibe and plan to stay.
I've been playing a Carr Viceroy for years - clean
with various pedals to get tones.
The more I treat the Kemper similarly (well, sorta)
the more it suits me.

The plan on this song is to purposely do a long fade-out.
The song is unmixed and I cut this and posted unedited.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks all for the friendly welcome.

Thanks again!
Background: I’ve been gigging since the 60’s (yes, I’m old) using tube amps. I mostly use pushed-clean sounds up through mid smooth-distortion sounds. Yes I know “smooth distortion” is an oxymoron. And then for leads pushed further, but nowhere near metal sounds.

So I’ve had a chance to use the Kemper a while now tracking guitar on our album. What I said in my original post I feel even more strongly. I’ve spent a few hundred dollars on profiles and gone through the freebies. I’ve gotten some excellent tracks by pairing up clean or nearly-clean profiles with some of my favorite boost and overdrive pedals, as shown in the picture. When I try to track with the higher gain sounds just using the Kemper I’m hearing a high-end fizzy digital-ness that I really don’t dig and it’s pretty much present across various profiles from various sources, some more than others. EQ doesn’t get rid of it. But as long as I use my favorite pedals in front with the cleaner profiles, all is golden. When I read some of the posts here people seem to say the opposite- where are the good clean profiles? Even with the clean profiles though, I’m generally using a mild clean boost into the front end. I’ve tried to dive in and learn some of the deeper parameters but I admit I don’t really understand all of them yet. Am I missing some parameter settings that would help?

TIA,

Phil
