Hey folks. New almost-satisfied Kemper owner here! I've spent a few hours now profiling and refining a Mesa Quad Preamp again and again and the results are not good. The profile is flat, dull and is nowhere near as tight or detailed/3d sounding as the Quad. Before getting the Kemper I experimented "profiling" the Quad using amp sims and Ozone's Match EQ and honestly, the Kemper is no better.
It's disappointing because I've been unable to tell the difference between many real and profiled FULL rigs, the Kemper absolutely nails those setups but it's way off the mark with preamp only. I want to keep the unit because as I say it's great at profiling a full setup but I do a lot of recordings using real amps with cab impulses so this is a big issue for me. Any suggestions? I've tried refining for short and long periods and not refining at all. Can't think of what else I can do
