Profiling using VST plugins in the mic chain ?

I've not done any profiling myself but I'm sure some people on here have done profiles with plugins in the chain. I know there is one in the rig exchange regarding waves SSL plugin and it's called bass guitar

I guess how successful it would be would depend on any latency the plugins induce. The profiling process may (or may not) have a time domain response part to it. If it does, the use of plugins might compromise the results. Or might not, hehe

It's totally possible - there are plenty of profiles on the Rig Exchange made from VST amp sims. A small bit of latency like you get with a cabinet impulse will work, but if you go too high I believe the Kemper will just start giving you errors when you try to profile.

hmm, but why should latency be an issue here? I made a few profiles of my line 6 podxt before I sold it. I know it's no software ampsim but still, the results were as expected ... never use those profiles though

The profiler compensates for any latency when profiling. Using VST plugins inside the profiling chain is a lot of fun. I made many real profiles this way. Not in the way of using VST software amps but using plugins between the miked amp and the KPA return.

I've used the 'real-time' plugins on the UA Apollo without any issues, great way to capture some great sounds before the demo's time out..
