How often is Re-amping used. I can see how it can be useful for those who record a wet signal or didn't notice that their guitar was out of tune maybe but you don't need a digital device for this, for anyone serious about this they can use a simple signal splitter to send send the direct signal
I haven't taken a poll but if YouTube videos, forum discussions and Google hits are any indication, re-amping is fairly popular with consumers, and I'd expect professionals who are using modelers during a session to employ it more often than not. Anyway, no one said you needed a digital device to split a signal. I was just saying practically any of the top tier units can be re-amped.
I wasn't expecting any effects when I looked at the Kemper, profiling and playing profiles was enough for me as it's clearly enough for you based on your extreme setup.
Okay, you personally weren't expecting any effects when you looked at the Kemper, and if everyone were like you it wouldn't matter whether the KPA had a single effects slot, but obviously not everybody's like you. The primary reason the small number of simultaneous effects in the KPA doesn't bother me, personally, is specifically because I have another multi-effects unit capable of doing the heavy lifting. If that weren't the case, I'd be disappointed in that regard.
I was pleasantly surprised at how amazingly musical many of the Kemper effects were for those who use them when compared with over the top effects found in the usual tired old multi effects platform flooding the current market.
Regardless whether the effects in the KPA are musical or not, compared to other top tier units it's pretty light on simultaneous effects post amp, especially when a lone PEQ takes up a single effects slot. It's not uncommon to see presets that use six or more simultaneous effects post amp in other top tier units. One could say that most Kemper owners don't need that many simultaneous effects built into the unit, but then they don't have the option, so of course you'll never see any of them using more than four after the amp.
