I think I now see the error in my explanation....
First though, there is a refinement step during the profiling process involving a guitar, is there not? That uses the guitar signal, not a generated signal, so in that instance the guitar plays a role. I was under the impression that most commercial profiles utilize this refinement process, however maybe this is a wrong assumption?
But more importantly....
When people buy a profile they usually do so based upon what they heard listening to clips. If they want their results to sound very close to the demo clips they need to be using the same guitar. But that's not usually the case. A guitar transposer effect would allow this. In fact, as I mentioned already, the refinement portion of the profiling process could save a footprint of the guitar so the KPA could later come close to emulating the original guitar used to create (refine) the profile. Would it be exact? No. But it could allow the KPA to at least adjust for gain coming out of the pickups, and some sort of EQ shelving/boosting in the top/mid/lower registers which should result in a much closer replication = all with the punch of a button (the Guitar Transposer effect).
This would result in more happy profile purchasers, which only helps to strengthen further the rep of the KPA..
Lastly, think about this: How cool would it be to be able to switch up guitars and have the tone remain similar? Maybe you spend hours tweaking an amp setup, then build your own profile only to later want to use a different guitar while recording or performing. With the Guitar Transposer feature, simply hit a button and it will help get you close to the original. You don't have to try and adjust a bunch of KPA settings, or go back and set up and dial in the rig again, and re-create another profile. Nope, you just hit a single button. Actually, the more I think about it, it would be nice to have a mix knob to be able to choose just how much of Transposer effect is imposed.
Anyway, again, just tossing the idea out there...
