[QUOTE="Steven Latch, post: 105249, member: 662"] I have both and they are in my opinion, really different. The 1987 is probably my favourite stock module. It genuinely sounds like a JCM 800 with more gain. Not tons of gains so I still use a clean boost in front. But it sounds very authentic to my ears. With the gain on max and a little time on a tone control it can sound very close to the judge. And the mid gain settings scream AC/DC. The KH-2 is a little harsher sounding to my ears. The tone controls are really effective so it can cover a lot of ground. But in the end, I found it to be very versatile and yet, unable to sound great for a given application. It has a "jack of all trades, master of none" feel to it. I never had the impression of playing a marshall with the KH-2 and the 1987 gives me just that. Hope it helps [/QUOTE]
