I just got a Kemper Profiler Stage and I have downloaded some Michael Britt, Top Jimi and Tone Junkie rigs. I was playing the stage through a Haze 40, but switched to a Headrush FRFR 12 inch speaker. No matter which guitar that I use (Strat, Tele EVH Wolfgang, Les Paul) the rigs/profiles always sound muddy. I listen to the examples on line that I downloaded and the cleans have a lot of chime, but mine all sound muddy. Is it normal to have to tweak every setting to get a good sound?

How does it sound thru headphones? Any difference?

How do they sound through the same speakers that you use to listen online?

I used a pair of beats and it sounds great. Now the million dollar questions? Since the headrush sounds like shit, what suggestion(s) do you have for amping it to play in a room? Not a gigging session, but just in my guitar area in my basement. I thought the frfr would just amplify the original sound but definitely not with the headrush. I would like something with some volume, but remains true to the profiler sound. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks for suggesting the head phones. I made a few tweaks to the eq but I still was not getting the sound that is direct out of the profiler into the headset. Maybe with time, but I hate to pay for profiles that sound good and then have to spend hours trying to tweak.

Do you have the Headrush aimed directly at your face? If not, it will sound dark. Also, try adjusting the Output Menu EQ for Main or Monitor Output (whichever one you have connected to the Headrush.)

It is on a stand pretty much aimed at my head. I will try the Output Menu EQ.

If the profiles were made at gig volumes, they’ll be EQd with less highs, typically. thus mud at lower volumes.
check out your config options for the headrush.. does it have a subwoofer option?
