Hi Guys,
I suspect some of you that have been following my posts of strange questions are wondering if I've even been playing the KPA at all. The answer is yes, all along, many hours learning the core functionality trying to assess what this magic box can do. Really impressed with the concept, features and flexibility, however at the end of the day it is about tone & feel. And right now it's not cutting the mustard. I been playing tube amps for over 30 years, and after a week or so of downloading rigs, reading, tweaking, testing I was getting closer - but all I had to do was go back and reference a real amp track and the difference was obvious (to me anyway). To me, the tones sort of remind me of an old J-Station spliced with a POD but with a lot more flexibility and cool "stuff" to tweak. Thinking this just can't be right, I decided to move ahead and try to an actual profile of one of my own amps. This is something I really did NOT want to do. So all day I'm dragging gear, cables, amps, cabs, baffling, etc out of the closet and going through a big headache hoping to prove this magic box can at least duplicate the tone of an amp. Figuring I just must be missing something with other peoples profiles. Well, no such luck. The profile turned out quite bad, especially on the bottom end (quite a mess) and still generally has that modeler vibe going on.
What am I doing wrong guys? Any thoughts?
