Hey guys, I was reading a thread on here a while back and I was reading something about how to affect the preamp in the power amp emulation with the Kemper. there was a certain control you turned up or down to boost the pre or the power amp but I can't find it, is anyone know how to do it or where that thread is?
Power and and preamp controls.

You can’t control the sound pre or post power amp in the profile as the profiler does know where the signal path splits in the real amp.
I think what you are referring to is the ability to move the tone contrils pre or post amp. This is a soft key button when you enter the eq section of the Stack block. Press and hold EQ and you will see a pre/post option.
-
Is it possible you're talking about the "tube shape" parameter in the amp section?
-
you can control the way the amp compresses and the amount of power amp sagging in the amp block if that is what you are looking for.

That’s what the manual says but I think is more of a generic description. I don’t believe profiler can tell what the pre amp and/or power amp is contributing to the overall sound. I believe this function is Kemper’s interpretation of general distortion characteristics in the same way as they use a generic tone stack of their own design.
Try tweaking the tube shape control and see if you like the results. If you do brilliant. If you don’t then nothing lost. But I wouldn’t think of it in terms of trying to replicate the real characteristics of the pre amp or power amp distortion from the original amp.

If you want a different poweramp tube, you can load an EL34 amp Rig, or a 6L6 Rig, or an EL34 Rig, or a 6V6 Rig, or a 6550 Rig, etc.

I was just meaning on the spot though, so instead of loading a different rig just being able to hold the amp button and changing the tube type, assuming that amp can take multiple tube types .

Since it's not a modeller, such things aren't analysed at the component level. The expectation therefore is unrealistic, unfortunately.
Whichever tube/s is / are running in the source amp during Profiling will be "accurately" represented in the context of the amp overall, so paults suggestion is your best bet if realism matters to you, Sheepfan.
