Re: Going digital Axe Fx/Kemper
I've owned Kemper, Zoom, Digitech, Johnson...and nearly every other digital preamp that has ever been introduced to market. Some can hear the difference, others cannot. It all depends on individual audible range. For people such as myself, digitally produced distortion can be a nightmare. The best way I can describe it, is think of the sound of a person singling through a fan...though not as obvious. I don't have a problem using digital effects, only digital crunch/distortion tones. The Kemper is cool for people who like to experiment. I may get another, some day. Since the Kemper is reproducing an analog sourced signal, I don't experience the same negative effects as say a Zoom unit.
btw... The Cornford RK100 clips on the Kemper Rig Exchange were produced and submitted by me. I think they came out quite good! I made some slight modifications to V1a and V2b gain stages prior to production. The 2.2uf cathode bypass caps are not conducive to humbucker play; with that type of circuit. The amp designer "tuned" his creations around the sound of single coil pickups. i.e. Fender Stratocaster.
