    To Yek: I need clarification on some of your presets

    It's about your Ultra presets (I am sorry I am posting here, but I know that you spend more time here, so...): what's the function of your FX Loop placed last in the chain, separated from the rest of the signal path, as in Preset Violin, for instance? Do you feed anything through it? Please...

One thing I surely can't understand: the urge of some guys that have one of the two major units, Kemper or Axe, and they bought the other, so now they have two digital units and zero analogue.

    That's very interesting: did you try for the guitar to have a great tone, but too loud? Would that impress the audience as "horrible" as well? I am curious now. As far as the Apraxia thing you posted, I hate to say it, but the guitar/s sounded just like my old GT-10, the famous cocked wah unit!

    The presumption here is that if I like my tone while playing, the public would like it as well, or at least, it will be my job to convince the public that what they hear and what I produce, are both likable tones and should be accepted/admired as such.

    A used and in a good condition Ultra + a good tube amp/preamp is a perfect combination, in my experience.

    It's not easy to explain: a "real" amp in the chain is always something different, even if it's an SS. Again, I can't explain the feeling, but it's different--not better and certainly not worse than the Ultra but different. And it seems to be not 100% replicable through any modeler.
