@Monkeyman yup, that was the idea.. - but when I did all those customshops, no-one brought them really, as it was when the britt stuff was around and all fresh, - so people jumped shop rather than customshoped!
But the idea was there, for those that did. - and still is for those that want! : ) - im sorta nice like that!. but it gets lonely lol
Yeah, nice guys finish last, Andy.
Thank you for the feedback, matey.
Thanks Mighty one, - but your right, the "higher" gain was designed around humbuckers, and not so much for fender. - the amp itself is a entirely different setup if I was aiming at SC's - the end of the day, I needed to make a choice, and 90% of the players who would use/own these amps would be humbucker players. - Although in my previous packs where this was the case, I also did profiles for each guitar shape (Tele/Strat/LP etc) - that I might do this again.. - will see how that goes.
Get your Tyler back, and it will be a different story : )
Make total sense, Andy. And I sure do want my Tyler back!
As I spend more time with the Kemper learning it's features and trying different profiles, I have come to understand that many profiles - just like the real world amps they seek to emulate - do not work with every single guitar or pickup combination. This may be rote to many of the experienced KPA users here, but for me this was a mild epiphany.
I've also learned that some of the magic is captured during the profiling process. Take the coveted Friedman BE-100. There are some profiles that right out of the gate are dialed in perfectly for use with SC's or HB's. Then there are others that require minimal tweaking to get the balance right. Further still there are some profiles that no matter what I try I cannot get them to sound the way I want them. There is a tone that is inherently captured in the profile that I don't like and cannot dial out. Just the nature of the beast I suppose.
At the end of the day I realize I already have more profiles than I will ever need for my purposes. So at this point buying or downloading more is just for fun, or for the sake of experimentation. There is also a sense of nostalgia I feel any time I pick up a profile of an amp I once owned and I get to experience it in all it's glory, now that it resides in my KPA where I will never have to worry about replacing the tubes or having those dirty filter caps replaced.
For the DS, it's on page 3 on Andy's forum in the In Session sub-forum. See post by TheAmpFactory at "Fri Oct 09, 2015 7:39 am".

Andy, thanks for the freebies, I had fun today with them! The WEM Clean even ousted a Fender model I use live, it's stunning. Admittedly, I forgot to put the SLO profiles into Rig Manager so that's for another day!
Whilst I don't play metal, I probably use what others would describe as a high gain sound. Despite the quality here, your original Friedman BE100 and Diezel Herbert still remain as my main tones. They just work at any volume with headphones/FRFR cab/PA and a second guitarist. I guess you've your work cut out to make me move away!
I tell you what though... Strings make a Hugh difference too. - I use ELIXIR strings, (and they are often criticized as being on the bright side), they are the best sounding strings.. PERIOD!. - I'd never use anything else now. everything else sounds too dark & moody/boring with no twang. - so you see, this has one of the impacts.. where I can get a nice bright chimy sound, Joe Bloggs can load the same profile and get a real dark and muddy sound.
Agree 100%... Elixir FTW!
Indeed I'm making this experiment: the elixirs on my tele were set up in june 2012.. I've played a lot. Not many gigs but a lot of rehearsals and many hours playing at home and some recordings too... and they're still alive and kicking, sounding great (much more twang than some new erine ball or whatever brand you choose)!!!! No cleaning products being used, just a cloth to remove dirt from time to time. I can tell you, I've played with elixirs before, but for some reason they are killer in this guitar. They seem inmortal! 
Let's see how much they last!
I cant believe im basically alone on the Dirty Shirley love. I compared to most of the Plexi profiles i have and it just smokes them. Lil bright yes, but quick eq adjustment is the cure
I like the lower gain DS profiles, but the high gain with my Tyler humbucker didn't sound anywhere near as nice as your clip, @meambobbo. @and44 is right when it comes to different guitars, different pickups, different strings even (the Tyler still has the strings it came from the shop with, haha!)!!!
+1 for Elixir Strings. Put 10's on the Gibsons and 9's on the Fenders, 13's on the Martin and Taylor. DONE!
Andy. I BLASTED through the profiles again but I have to put in a bit more time.
This will sound dumb but how do I "import" one of these profiles in place of one of my existing ones so I can keep my effects minus EQ's etc?
Matty, the easiest way would be to load your profile with your effects, lock the Stomps and Effects sections but not Stack, then load Andy's profile(s).
You can also copy/paste your own stomps or fx in andy's profiles. Either one by one or the whole sections.
Thank YOU, @and44 !!!
This new pack is a no brainer for me (in fact, I'd gladly buy it pre-release, so as not to spend the cash before it eventually drops!), and I still owe you a few clips, just to rebalance the karma, haha! I'll post them here, or in the new official thread when the pack's released, if you'd rather. Thanks a million, man!
Yeah thanks Andy 
Ive havent had time to blast through the Slo or Dirty Shirly yet but im planning on doing this tonite Once again thanks for involving us in your testing
Great infos from you, Andy !!!!
Like you said, everything in the world is very subjective, profiles, amps, guitars and strings included.
There are so many great profiles out now, it's really hard to offer something new, actually I have far more than I'll ever need....
Nevertheless I have my favourite ones, but this is subjective, too, although I'm a session-player and I'm playing a big range of styles and guitars. Many use the KPA in combination with cabs or FRFR-systems, for me it's the perfect tool for studio and iem.
The profiles I use are a mixture of Andy's, Armin's, MWagener's, MBritt's, Guido's and some free ones. Recently I started to choose one amp for one performance-bank and just look for the best clean, crunch and lead-sounds.
I'm really curious about Andy's next level of profiles.

+1, thats exactly what I do (per amp) with my performances.

Me too
Shout out for Andy's Bogner Goldfinger (Bonegar Warmfinger) profiles. I was (attempting to) laying down some basic framework tracks for a song I'm writing and kept getting caught up in just jamming to the rhythm using the different profiles. Sweet!
