FAQ
Is there high gain?
No. Captured in Triode (5W), so it's low-to-mid gain — clean to light drive across four voicings.
Does the sound change with my guitar?
Yes. A profile captures the amp/cab/mic response; how it reacts depends on your input — guitar, pickups, and volume.
Will it load on an older Kemper OS?
Yes. These are standard profiles (no Liquid Profiling), so they work on a wide range of OS versions. The latest firmware isn't required.
