Unless you have a separate room for monitoring I would monitor through headphones, not the best but better than have the full cab flapping your hair while refining and comparing. Main out to stack? Don't do it! Need some frfr monitoring
Ok I have Adam's A7X's... just take one of those with me?
Why not use the other head's return to A/B?

Then you would stage 2 power amp and 2 cabs on B....unless you profile only the preamp from fx send on amp 1 and then you compare the full amp 1 to KPA preamp profile+power amp and cab from amp 2
But basically you want me to use my studio monitor to A/B between the reference amp and Kemper profile correct?
Yes, but as already said, this only works nicely if you have the Cab and the Mic in a different room that does not bleed too much into the "monitoring" room. Else you simply will have difficulties in judging your results. The only other way is to use some closed headphones with good isolation. Take your time and play with different mic placements. It is way more important than trying different settings on the amp.

That one should be pinned as a "must read first"!

Sorry for the ignorance but in this demonstration they are A/Bing in the same room... doesn't the reference amp play through ITS cabinet and the Kemper profile play through your monitor or cabinet? How will there be bleed through? My very first profiling session my apologiezzzz

Nobody said that profiling with your amp in the same room wouldnt work, but it can be very time consuming and you might not be able to find the sweet spots when miking. Normally the amp in your room would be so loud that you could not get a clearly separated signal out of your monitors at the time. But it is highly advisable though to monitor the miked signal while moving the mike to find the sweet spot. If you have no possibilty to monitor your miked signal before profiling, you would make a profile, change the setting, profile again and so on.
Ok thanks Tylerhb,
Well I was at their practice last night. Set up the Kemp through a B52 amp & 4x12 NEXT to my bud's (2 channel) Triple Rectifier & Marshall 4x12. So... of course, through a set up like that the Kemp would have a hard time matching up but IT DID NOT BAD! I think the others could tell it had a more musical sound but they just knew it didn't have the girth or grind as the Triple did. Now! If I had put it through a better PA and cab it would've been a different story.
I did manage to profile his triple though (first time ever) Soon I'll be heading on home to hear his profile through my amp and cab.
Just thought I'd keep you updated
