Exactly, this is not a guitar pickup modeler but a Guitar Profiler.
It would be cool to have it integrated in the Kemper, to avoid tap dancing.
Yes! it would really be Cool.
It's a Guitar Profiler so it means that 'potentially'* once you've profiled Your favourites guitars and amps You can leave them go!
(of course like in the Kemper world, You can Buy other's giutar profiles, share them for free and so on..)
To be honest since I've got the Kemper I've sold some amps and cabs, and pedals, Not immediately but I did it.
(just to have the money to get other giutars..)
I've just kept my Very fav. ones, even if must admit that I rarely turn them on ... I've profiled them and usually I play them through the Kemper... it's faster, safer and also easier to manage the sound.
*I don't have the SIM-1 but I don't think It will be Exactely the same thing With Guitars.. because I like the physical interaction between me and the guitar.. different body shape, controls position, shape of the neck, frets.. it gives a sort of Physical/Emotional feedback You Can't reproduce anyhow else than actually Playing That particoular guitar.
Anyway for sure I would sell Some of my Les Pauls (at least 3 on 10 I suppose) : once I've profiled them there's no need to Keep them all. They are all 'the same guitar' with just some small differences in suond.
Maybe the Acousitc simulation that Kemper is going to release it's somthing similar to the SIM 1 concept..
Maybe some day we'll be able to set in the in the input section the 'Source guitar' and in the output section the 'Target Guitar'; or this information could be assignable for every singol Rig of our Kemper.
Actually the're no 'Magical Process' in Sim 1 that can not be included in Kemper...I guess ..AFAIK.
We'll see.
