Looking to buy a Kemper just a few questions

    Quote from Pobinr

    I wonder if there's software out there to enable a PC or Mac to profile sounds ?

    No there isn't.


    There's only one Cristophe Kemper, and he invented the Kemper Profiling Amp.
    Before he invented it no guitarist or engineer in their wildest dreams imagined it was possible, in fact after CK announced it and demoed it at NAMM guitarists still said it was "Vaporware", impossible.


    Inventing the Profiling technology is only one part of the genius, creating the algorithm that makes the Profile sound, feel, and re-act like a real tube amp is even more genius.

    3] Likewise I have a Carvin Holdsworth HF2 guitar. How close to Holdsworth sound wise could I get with the right profile ?
    I scanned the rigs from fellow users & there doesn't seem to be much there in terms of achieving the above.
    I'm assuming here of course it's too much to expect the Kemper to achieve authentic tones I've mentioned without a similar type of guitar being used to start with.

    Hi, my first post here. Interesting question, indeed. Me, too, I wonder how to achieve something that reminds to Holdsworth tone with the KPA. Any suggestions are welcome. :) Most of his sound is in his hands, as he really changed setup so many times and his tone has remained quite the same during the years. I've read of an AxeFX patch that try to emulate his sound but I've never hear it in action.



    Btw, it would be interesting to look over some other cool fusion-like sounds such as Frank Gambale, Richard Hallebeek, Tim Miller, etc..
