That reminds me, I need to tone match my Welagen ODS!I have a Kemper. It has a great view of the inside of my closet.
An Axe-Fx Tone Match beats a Kemper profile every time, IMHO, with more accurate sound and feel when you A/B against the real thing. Plus, Kemper’s generic gain and EQ doesn’t feel amp-like at all (to me) and it’s a pain to have to create a separate profile just to turn down the bass and gain a single notch or two. With the Fractal, just turn the knob and it works.
It’s exciting to think about how the “amp-matching” concept can improve. A dream would be to have the Axe capture the sweep of our real amp’s knobs or the usable range we’d want, like MV from zero to the sweet spot. But even if that isn’t possible, it’s easy to get really close with tone matching and the amp models we have on hand. Maybe this next step is further refinement. I need to try amp-matching an amp of mine that isn’t in the Axe and see how close it can get with some advanced parameter tweaks. The amp algorithms are all there... it’s just a matter of turning some knobs until the amp and model align.
