Display MoreI think you should start a specific thread on this because this seems a relatively ( maybe 1 year) new problem.
Blind tests were showing that it was "virtually" indistinguishable from the original but you concerns have been raised more than once.
So either:
1) Its always been a problem but people's standards have been raised and hence more noticeable
2) Kemper has made some changes that have taken a backwards step.
I've still no idea which it is so it would be good to get opinions on a dedicated thread. Unless there is a consensus of something that is actually broken and needs to be fixed, then it won't happen.
Profiling should be about accuracy as a base tone so it is important as a basis for good sound. But of course the end result is the priority, so I don't fully care if its 100% accurate, only if its adding unwanted artifacts that detract from the sound.
So I think both parties are right, the best sound is ultimately the target but profiling accuracy has to be the starting point.
Well said.
I will add, though, that from time to time people have complained about authenticity. Some issues have been resolved (by adjusting the approach to the profiling process / dialing in the amp - not many bug fixes related to authenticity, if I recall correctly), and some people have moved on.
I will also say that such issues are sometimes sort of limited to certain types of sound (e.g. clean, break-up, high distortion, etc. - and "subcategories" of these). So when somebody complains about an issue and other people don't recognize the problem - that can also be the cause of the difference in experience.
