   what's the point about an amp emulator that you can't change the drive param?

   I can't understand the NAM hype...

      It’s the same with profiling generally. You get pregain, post eq and maybe some simulated stuff inside the amp. I’ve never spent time with a Kemper but my understanding is that the base tone is what it is.

      Not a bad thing in my book. It’s an antidote to endless knob tweaking. But I suspect it leads to endless profile library grooming.

         I have a Kemper. Yes, the base tone is what it is - you’ll usually download a profile like “Basket case” and it will sound roughly like the song if you have the right guitar. It’s heavily pre-styled and you can’t really make it sound that different - and why would you?

            Nuno B said that he played EVH's guitar and rig, and he sounded like....nuno. Thanks to Rick Beato for the interview, and making music interesting again.
