Hi Kemper Team,
I would like to share some thoughts on usage of the AC Sim, which can essentially be a rig by itself or a parallel signal path "acousticy add-on" to my regular stack sound.
The ultimate "The Who-way" would be this:
1. Signal input
2. AC Sim stomp with split
3a. A part of the signal (0...100%) goes to regular stack
3b. part of the signal (0...100%) with the AC Sim effect bypasses the stack (there needs to be a volume dial on this part of the signal to bring it up against the stack...)
4. A widening/warble/doubler effect is used on signal path 3b to seperate them better (so you can determine how drunk the second guitar player with the acoustic plays)
5. The signals are combined at the start of the post section (or there is a parameter to choose, at which effects block the AC Sim signal comes back in, or direct out...)
All the options (split, doubling, amplification and where to jump back into the signal) could be part of the AC stomp, so i can design my parallel signal path.
As another option for the split scenario, one could choose, if the signal part that goes to the stack is affected by the AC Sim or not. Just for taste.
The signal split can be done in one parameter/with one dial:
Hard left: 100% AC signal mono
Starting to turn the knob: 1% / 100%......100% / 1% splitting
Hard right: Signal in split path only --> full AC mode when hitting the stomp
So there it is.....some rambling on signal path with the AC Simulator. I hope there are some useful suggestions in there.
Thank you for the AC Sim already, it sounds really good!
Cheers,
Thomas
