I've always been intrigued by one of the arguments against the Kemper's "profiling" approach to sound modelling, that is, the gain and tone knobs don't react like they would had you been turning the corresponding knobs on an amplifier head.
How much of a drawback is this really? Is it even a drawback? I watched a one-hour video by Andertons UK where they demo'ed the Kemper; was super-impressed at how the toaster nailed the sound of most of the amps they tested out after a little tweaking.
I also took note of one instance where Rob Chappers, who was doing the demonstration, noted after tweaking of some knobs that the Kemper "rectified" an issue that existed with the original amp.
So by tweaking a knob and taking the Kemper away from the sound of the original amp, are we neglecting its primary role as an amp profiler? Or are we building upon it? Does this expand its role into tone generation technology?
Also, what happens to the "feel" of playing through the Kemper after tweaking the original amp sound? Does the responsiveness deteriorate? Or alternatively, does it improve? Can it "feel" better than a tube amp?
Best wishes to CK and his team. I've read arguments of this nature would result in on the Fractal forums, I am now keen to know what the Kemper forum members think about it.
