![]() ![]() If you got the skills, you can also emulate lots of other high end pedals with simple means ( example). These are extremely powerful and tweakable. It also features pretty much all common effects (and these are modelled) - except for spring reverb. There is an incredible amount of tweaking possible - I especially like some parameters like pick dynamics and power sagging. I have found extremely cool profiles pretty much from all famous guitar amplification brands, covering all possible musical genres. I know there is a discussion whether digital amp technology has 'caught up' - and if you ask me then YES, this is the real thing.Įvery week I can download new profiles from the "Rig Exchange" - and the ones I like are most of the time ready to use out-of-the-box without any tweaking. Now after 6 months I am completely floored by this unit. If I did want to get that sound with the KPA, I would need to put my monitors on the floor and crank it up - alternatively get a so called FRFR solution (a 'flat rate frequency response' powered monitor, the kpa works amazingly well with these). The KPA, on the other hand, I was monitoring through near field monitors.Įventually I got used to the new type of monitoring, and I no longer strive for "amp in the room" - since it is kinda hard to mix with the sound coming from my DAW. After some research i understood I was looking for the so called "amp in the room" sound, basically an amp standing on the floor vibrating the whole room and causing lots of room reverberations. When I got the unit I just couldn't make it sound like my tube amp, all profiles seemed too bright to me. It is often described as an Axe FX competitor although it does something quite unique. Instead of modelling it does "profiling", which means taking a digital snapshot of a real tube amp (or any amp for that matter). I have had this unit since February and I wanted to share some impressions with you.įor those of you who don't know what it is - it's a digital amp but not a modelling amp. ![]()
