OK, that clears things up... regardless of the amazing replication, the Kemper isn't capable of what I've been doing in live performances since 1984... too bad. The Johnson Millennium replaced $5000 in rack effects and stomp boxes, and appears to still be the most versatile and practical solution, aside from airline freight... thanks guys.

Thanks for the quick response....

A concession workaround (just because I need a lightweight solution for international travel): Does this amp have a model that sounds sweet and clean like a Fender Twin playing Little Wing and then still has enough gain within the same amp model to morph into the full crunch of a Black Sabbath song? I could probably get by with that...

I'm on the edge of dropping $2400, but I need to know one thing: Can a Kemper do a smooth morph via an expression pedal from any clean amp model (let's say a Fender Twin) using reverb and a chorus, into a totally different amp model (let's say a Mesa Dual Rectifier) using a compressor and digital delay... seamlessly, while also reserving another expression pedal for master volume, and another for a solo gain setting? Because my 20-year old Johnson JM150 and JM250 Millenniums can... and I can't make this jump to Kemper without knowing I won't lose those capabilities, and whether or not there is a workaround. Thanks!

For the past 17 years I've been using a Johnson Millennium because it was the only self-contained rig that could replicate every tone and effect I need to perform my album recordings on stage.

I'm intrigued by the Kemper, and I will buy one or two immediately IF I can do these things simultaneously:
1. Morph between a clean tone and a rhythm/lead crunch with the sweep of an expression pedal
2. Have trailing effects/delay decays remain active after switching channels/presets (kill input to A when switching to B, but allow A echoes to tail off)
3. Control a dozen of any chosen parameter(s) with an expression pedal in real time (for solo gain/effects)
Can the Kemper do these things?
Is there any timeline on adding one or more of these capabilities?

Thanks,
Terry
