Picture this....player, guitar, pickups, amp, amps settings, cab, speakers, mic positions. What the Kemper does is take a digital snapshot of all of that, and stores it as a very small file that you can keep on your Kemper.
Theoretically you could have every single setting of an amp with any number of boosts, cabs, mics, pickups etc...and personal opinions about 'things sounding digital' aside, it sounds and feels real, like you're playing that amp with that boost using that mic on that cab.
If you think about it like that, the fact that you can pay $3 or $30 or whatever and have basically every sound that an amp you can't afford can make, it's kind of a really cool thing.
Add to that, you can run it to a cab and to FOH at the same time, you can record with it silently etc. it's pretty badass.
Oh shit. I did not know it could do all of THAT.
Thanks for the info. No wonder it costs as much as it does.
I thought it was a simple "amp modeler". I didn't realize it captures the entire signal-chain of the whole rig!
