@Vinny Yes, but comparing a KPA touring rig with a valve amp driven touring rig with pedals is somehow not productive.
You could replace the valve amp with the KPA and use the pedals with it.
But I am with you: something could happen with the ODs. For me they sound too „harsh“ sometimes but I have to admit that I never spent much time with them since my profiles work quite well without extra OD stomps most of the time - so maybe its me.
Agree they sound to harsh but that's the problem with digital distortion. O well that will be solved eventually.
