A big Hi there to you all!
Just got my Kemper this week. I've got the rack version with remote floorboard.
First impression: found Some rigs which proved the unit sounds better than i hoped. Also, i'm pretty sure i will just have to make hours on it to get familiar with it. Had to let go of my Mesa Roadster to get this one, so i hope i wont regret 
Just one question...what is the first thing you recommand me to do/try ?
Thank you all!
USB your Kemper to your computer and head over to the Rig Exchange. Also, there are some fabulous commercial profilers out. You can get some amazing profiles of amps (I could never afford to own) for very reasonable prices.
Welcome.
Give yourself some quality time with the factory profiles.

Agreed. The factory rigs aren't like the presets offered with other products. They are living, breathing amps that include a wide enough variety to be used for pretty much any style of music
And.....Welcome!
Hello Pinhead and welcome to the crew,
For starters, it's hard not to be buried under lots of rigs which offer different sounds, ideas and original recordings in mind when made. The factory rigs had been my major playground for two years before I tried commercial rigs (mostly taf, some soundside). Later on it was M. Britt and M. Wagener who I welcomed for their way of sond shaping.
Since you probably will have more than one guitar my advice after looking back is: Take one guitar, one rig and be bold with the kpa controls. As Ingolf hinted: This kind of quality time will very much help you to decide if the kpa will stay. By the way: If you've got some good backing tracks, as I'm sure you will, try to blend them in. Your guitar will instantly sound better being in it's natural habitat. There's quite a lot of rigs that seem to be dull or not convincing when played on their own.
That should keep you busy for some time. Mind you: Your ears will hear differently at different times. Always give it a second and a third try before you discard a rig. Next thing: Take it to rehearsal and enjoy the sound, the convenience, the flexibility and the open mouths of your band mates.
Tot ziens

Wise words.
Also, once you find something you like enough to settle on for a while, maybe take Joachim's advice.

Welcome! 
good advice so far!
Oh yeah, one more thing maybe - finding the right tones should probably be done at the same volume as you are going to use them So tweak at band volume, not just bedroom volume
That's a good advice i guess. At this time, i can only play at home using headphones. I think i will just try to get a sound or 5-6 and bring that to rehearsal the first time and take it from there.
also check the download pages in the Kemper website. You have a Pack by Bert but also older presets by TAF and others. Also TAF, Britt, Top Jimi and others have free profiles in their webs. But the truth is there are many profiles to choose from even in the Kemper or the Rig Exch to start with. Check them up with headphones, monitors, loud, bedroom levels, different guitars if you have them.. Take your time. You do not need to buy lots of Profiles, though it is tempting.
You may choose a few favorites and later on expand and buy any when you feel you need to. Welcome. The Kemper can sound terrific.
Welcome to the group!
Welcome to the gang
Thanks! Done that Yes!
The commercial ones i'll have to check. I heard Bert Molendijk packs are great.
Hi @Pinhead , welcome man and you won't regret buying your KPA.It's an amazing piece of gear !!
If I may give you an advice, watch out by preparing you're sounds on your headphone for using them in a band !! Your headphone will give you big fat amazing sounds with lots of lows and highs which sounds pretty cool when you're on your own but believe me, it won't work in a band situation. You might get disappointed....If you can record at home, try them at least in a track..
My name is Bert Meulendijk by the way (what's in a name..).
Welcome Pinhead, once you get to know the KPA, you won't go back.
How do you amplify your Kemper, or is it the powered version?
Cheerz,
