I think we guitar players are always looking for the perfect sound.
This is judged differently by everyone, the feeling is subjective.
If you only need one sound, you only need one amp. Here you can choose an amp according to your taste and possibilities.
If you want to experiment with the sound, effects will be added. That’s it. This keeps you in the sound spectrum of your beloved amp and everything is fine.
The modeling amp I know sounds too static for me and lacks individuality. Not bad at all; but not the decisive spark jumped over with me.
I do not necessarily have to choose a Friedmann, Bogner or Mesa Boogie. A guitar for $ 4,000 does not sound twice as good as one for $ 2,000; rather different.Kemper Profiler:
I’ve been working on the device for a few weeks and would like to share my first opinion.
It is not an amp !!! It is somehow an analyst who seeks a reference, analyzes it and thus creates an image. The profiling is his crucial strength in this case, in this case the “Kemper” creates a profile of an amp and accepts it as a reference.
Creating a profiling is very easy; the result is only as good as you did your profiling. You can do it with effects and a microphone in front of your box.
As a result, you always have the effects and your box along with the space effect (your flat) in your profile.
In addition, you have the previously selected setting of the reference amp in your profile; so gain, treble, bass and so on.In my view, it makes more sense to only convert the amp in the clean area without effects and box in the profile. Here is then spoken by “Direct Amp profile”. Then I have my reference amp along with a reference setting!
I have two channels in my Mesa Boogie and total 15 Clean Basic settings that I would use to profiling. With these profiles I can then superposition the possibilities of the Kemper.
Decisive is really to perform the right profiling, which is always what is right, what you imagine yourself.
The results are really amazing for me. There is no lack of warmth in the sound. He is what I wanted to imagine.An important point is the power amplifier. The Kemper is available in two versions, whereby I prefer the variant with the power amplifier.
If I do not take a power amplifier into the Kemper, I lead the signal into a mixer and use its output stage, which provides for marginal sound distortions; depending on the quality of the power-mixer.
In addition, monitor speakers are not guitar boxes, which I have to compensate for the Kemper by additional settings.
These considerations are crucial for the sound result, where the Kemper has no stocks in it.
The Kemper-Profiler has nothing to do with the modeling-amps on the market.What do you think?
Play guitar just like you live; don't get bogged down in theory, it's just a tool without feeling.
