- ☑️ Profiler Stage
Hi folks,
What I heard a couple of times, is that some of the 'sweetness' of tube amplifiers, is that if you crank the volume up to really loud levels, the power amp compresses the signal somehow, which in some cases can create a nice tone. So if someone creates a profile of an amp, and doesn't put the volume on level 9, but say level 4, and I load this profile in my Kemper, it will sound just like an amp at level 4. Would it be possible to make it sound like it would when it's volume is at level 9? If you turn the gain down and the amp volume up, does the Kemper 'simulate' the power amp stage compression that I heard happens if the volume of a tube amp is set to a high level? I can imagine that being a very difficult thing to simulate, since the profiler 'measured' the amp's response on level 4, it can't know how the amp responds if the volume were at level 9. But maybe with the new 'liquid' thing, which I think maybe 'simulates' some part (more mathmatically?) of the amp instead of applying a 'profile'. Not sure if I understand the deeper workings of the liquid thing, so forgive me if I'm completely wrong here. Would be nice though if it were possible to simulate this power amp stage compression, so if you have any info on if that is or isn't possible, I'd love to hear it. So please share!
Cheers!
