Hi,
I'd like you guys to discuss the issue about profiling a clean amp, which has recently arisen. What I'm missing is why they talk about all "the preamps" sounding like each other, and never talk about the power section, or even the amp as a whole, as if the chain was guitar-pre-cab. Can any of you enlighten me on this?
Talking about which, eng. Kemper has recently stated that, when profiling a clean-set amp, the KPA is not able to get informations about its "personality" as long as there's no distortion involved.
On TGP, user tgp100 suggested profiling an amp as a distorted one, with actually a bit of overdrive, and then cleaning the sound lowering the gain when using it.
If all the above is true, wouldn't this carry more informations, hence producing a richer and more faithful sound? Of course this would depend on the way the algorithm has been written, and because of this I'd like Eng. Kemper to chime in, if he feels inclined If tgp100 is right, this would lead to better (more realistic) clean profiles.
