Interesting!

I had the honor to play a hand built "Pure Tone Amps" for a few months - and after that I have slightly changed my view on digital.

My theory is that the kemper does replicate any amp as perfect as you need it to - dynamic/eq/distortion wise. However I get the impression I am actually hearing it's just a snapshot (that's what a profile is : a snapshot of the real amp sound) - like a short sample I am playing over and over. Whereas the tube amp has natural variation that exceed a ~1 second sample.

I did not watch the whole video - but it sounds bit weird to me that kemper would not be able to replicate all overtones - as those can be measured digitally and the developers would easily see if the profiling process was missing some frequencies.

Perhaps the problem they experienced was rather due to dynamics not being replicated on some frequencies? That's harder to hear and can def effect where the sound sits in the mix. You might be hearing and seeing (on a graph) lots of 10k for example - however the attack might be kinda slow on those frequencies which in turn will not yield satisfying results.

Thats why I left using ir reverbs long ago, on single instrument they sound fantastic but spread-ed in a mix a "static/boxness" starts to occur I really dislike. Ir-cab.s takes the freq. response and can't replicate speaker movement and coloration, its a good tech. but in detail has its weaknesses.

The dowside of sampling is the very upper overtones can't be accurately captured by any machine due to the units self-noise. These overtones get very low on level and blends too much with the noise character so usually filtered out. But most are accurate and there may be an AI that guess and replicates the missing ones for a more natural feel.
