I totally agree that tone is in the fingers and the way someone attacks the guitar. I sound the same when going through my XT Live, X3 Live, HD 400, POD Farm 2, Marshall JVM, Peavey Studio 112 or my Trace Elliot guitar amp....... I dial in the tone that I like...... no matter what the amp sims are. That Kemper thingy looks and sounds really cool tho.....
