After spending a few hours with it, some quick thoughts:
You get 150 stock captures... Which are all pretty average to my ears.
I bought Michael Nielsen's Marshall and ADA packs and... There it is. Just goes to show exactly why I waited until a capture player was available instead of a fully fledged profiling hardware - anyone can simply put up a profile but you really want someone with great gear and know how to do it for you.
The downside is the user interface and workflow of getting stuff off the ToneNet is just absolutely F*CKED.
I thought I'd broken my brain and was somehow too dumb to figure it out, but it's just this weird mess off going back and forth between the website and app interface, and then having to edit stuff on the pedal as well because the app isn't actually an editor per se, just a librarian.
It is absolute hair tearing nonsense.
But for my purposes, I've found three gig worthy sounds - clean, crunch, lead - and now I'm pretty much done, just need to adjust levels during rehearsal.
It's a fantastic tool but if you're looking to do a lot of exploring and editing and tweaking just be prepared for some UI gymnastics.
This is not helping my GAS for one. What are you using for amplification with it Ed?slash-ed wrote: ↑Thu Jun 15, 2023 10:55 pm Got it this afternoon.

So far just headphones. Planning to just go straight to PA, the band I'm gigging in is currently doing mostly bar gigs where there's no space for big amps so this will be perfect. Last gig I took an EVH half stack and it took up like a third of the stage lmaojeremyb wrote: ↑Fri Jun 16, 2023 10:30 amThis is not helping my GAS for one.

Haha yeah but with the benefit of a decade of seeing the evolution of Kemper you'd think they could have gone to market with something just a little less... broken
