I have two specific questions. I ask because I am interested in building my signal chains backwards and I'm trying to understand some tonal characteristics. Usually, you start with an amp and cab and then add on stomps and effects. I want to start with the stomp and Cab, add the effects, and then add the Amp.
If I load up an OD stomp, say the Green Scream (TS-808), I have 5 options to use; Default, Crunch, Boost, Mellow, and Full. If I were to adjust any one of the parameters away from those settings then does the stomp no longer represent the tonal accuracy of the TS-808?
If I load up an OD stomp set for Crunch, and turn off the Amp module, I will only hear the tonal characteristics of the stomp coming out of the Cab. So, if I plug in "any" amp with it's gain setting of Zero, how much will those amps color the stomp? Like how much difference in coloring of the OD Stomp when using a "flat EQ'd Fender at Zero gain" to a "flat EQ'd Marshall at Zero gain" in between the stomp and the Cab?
In theory, if the Kemper Green Scream is an accurate represent of the TS-808, and all amps are "basically" one-in-the same at Zero gain, then I should be able to accurately model the tone from a Kemper to a tube amp, hence, building backwards.
