I stumbled on this today. The host set up his recently-acquired Matchless vs his Kemper, miking the real amp the way the Kemper model was miked.
He mentions that the difference he hears is in the midrange. Well, not really. The difference is in the note attack and dynamic range, not the frequency response. Take a listen. The amps have much the same frequency response, but the real one sounds more dynamic, has more snap, etc.
This is exactly my long time feeling about the Kemper. The models sound good, but sound 'flattened' and less dynamic/dimensional. Yes, the Kemper sounds good, but there's a palpable difference. I think when you listen carefully it's immediately quite apparent.
Just my opinion of course, YMMV.
