Kemper's Profiling Amp takes a profile of a conventional guitar amp, analyzes it, then recreates the amp within a digital device. It seems like magic, but it works...and this video explains how the process happens,
You'd think that, but all of these "amplifers", modelers etc. are recreating existing tube amps.
Only once there is a digital amp that has its own tone they will replace tube amps.
Because if they don't, tube amplifiers will always be the place for experimentation and actual progress.
Also, don't underestimate the value of the simplicity of a tube head, too many people need that. (as in, too many people don't want all the finicky digital stuff for it to really take off)
@BoogieEngineer i guess they used a PA that was fed with the signal of the Microphone of TomWendt, the SM57 in the Iso-Box and the Line-Signal of the Profiling Amp.
Why the hell is he kissing the fuckin microfone?

What did they use to power it? Was it some type of built-in power amp?

Interesting. I have tried to program something similar in the past and didn't get anywhere.

@fenderoid1111 1,600 $ a awesome idea, but before i spend that much i have to try it out on a number of amps.

I've thought of this but, wow...it's amazing, how tube amps are almost antiquated...almost.
