Yeah, I don't think this will revolutionize the profiling tech, the response of the knobs would be kinda closer to real amps compared to the default active eq for sure, but a tonestack is a lot more than pre or post eq, just for the fact that it's often placed in between gain stages or between preamp and power amp (something probably impossible to replicate on a single profile), let alone depth and presence controls actually changing the way the power tubes clip.This is exactly what it is.
Gain + Bright Cap pre Profile.
Tonestack usually post Profile.
Presence + Resonance post profile
The only innovative thing about this is that the response of the filters is emulated from specific amps.
And of course it will never behave like on the real amp when it's cranked, there's modeling for that.
EDIT:
I don't if he mentions a new patent or just his current patent that is active until 2040?
US20210058049A1 - Method for adapting a sound converter to a reference sound converter - Google Patents
The method for adapting a sound converter to a reference sound converter includes the sound converter having a first linear transfer function with a first frequency response, a second linear transfer function with a second frequency response, and a trivial nonlinearity.

And USB audio? I always thought the kemper didn't have it due to hardware limitations, but now 12 years after its release it gets added with a firmware update? That's a basic feature that should have been there from the beginning, adding it now feels like a serious issue on their development cycle, not something to be proud of.
I know, I'm pessimistic
