Profile rating system - ASAP - [done]

Kemper community...

I LOVE THE PROFILES....I mean, what a total joy to log on every night and try out new amps from around the globe.

But the profile count is about to get out of hand. Please note - this is a good thing, not a negative comment.

We are now approaching 900 profiles and just getting started!!!!! WOW!!!!

I know this has probably been beat to death - but a profile rating system, scoring, or ranking is no doubt becoming necessary at this point.

My guess is conservatively after 1 year there could well be over 3,000+ profiles. I mean this is exciting....and scary!

The time required to test and tweak all of these is daunting.

A simple rating system would save countless hours in the selection process.

Hopefully the Kemper brain trust can get this happening sooner rather than later....

Thanks to all for the amazing profiles!

Most appreciated from DC.

Good point. I have pretty much downloaded and tried everything but the numbers are just growing too fast it's almost become a full time job to audition profiles. Ha

+1 on the rating system
ANOTHER very important thing is to be able to have folder/subfolder structure on the kemper. To be able to sort by manufactorer and amp models! Makes navigation much easier :)

Hello, I agree with the idea , a usefull profile page should let the user sort the profiles on severall keys :

brand / rating / release date / profiler (user ) / type ( / acoustic /clean / crunch / heavy stuff / pedal / modeler ) / ...

Also , Severall profiles should be downloable at once ( just click on a check mark for the ones you'd like , then download once )

Thanks

+1, very much needed, I don't bother to check all the new profiles anymore. Takes too much time. Only if someone recommends a profile for certain setup (pickup/music style), I may take a look at it. I'm afraid I'm missing many good profiles because of this.

I don't trust rating systems, for two main reasons:

1) sometimes they are influenced by the level of trustee in a certain member. For example, when i was in the FAS board, i read comments on fabulous presets posted by the veterans of the board. I downloaded them and 6 times out of 10 they were just average. 3/10 completely useless, 1/10 nice sounding. Never found an exciting preset.

2) they need tweaking. For example how can we rate properly a profile if many of us are used to change the cabs?

I know that approaching with 1000-1100 profiles is just crazy, that's why i have created the Rig Collection Thread.
There you find all the Rigs, (updated once a week), classified by Brand and Amp.

So you can check all the Dual rectifiers profiles (just an example), choose the one you love and select it by creating a Favorite folder in your PC/MAC, and throwing the rest.

Agree with you Giacomo, none of my rig is a profiles "as is", they are mostly heavy tweaked and, TBH, I think I can get any profile to sound good to excellent with some advanced tweaking, cab choice and eq

Your have a good point there! That's why I think we need at least a folder structure on the kemper (and maybe the same on rig exchange)
