He plays in a Smiths tribute band and an REM tribute band. He has been resistant to trying the Kemper, but the recent video from @jemdave13 has gotten his attention.
He wants to come over and check out some rigs that would work for covering these two groups. I am not that familiar with the music, so I need some help.
Can you suggest some profiles and effects that would satisfy a true tube snob, tone geek? Entire rigs would be even better. 
Any help is greatly appreciated!
