Welcome to the Party!

Definitely backup with those commercial profiles before you reset. You might want to return to them after getting a little experience using the Kemper.

A quick and easy tweak to do to liven up some muddy/dark profiles is to raise the Amp's Definition parameter. Another is to place a Treble Booster either in the stomp slots or even in the effects slots. And yet another is to add a EQ the same as the Treble Booster. And there are many other options depending on your specific requirements. Like using a treble-bleed circuit on your guitar.

Welcome, have fun here in the forum and with your Kemper. Sounds like the fun will start soon! Enjoy this incredible machine as much as most of us here do

Factory Reset and prior to that a backup is a good idea to start with. Valuable resources for that already mentioned by ST.

Hi and welcome on board….

Welcome! Connect to your Powerhead with Rig Manager and you'll be able to drag all your profiles, presets, and performances from the Powerhead to your local library under each heading (ex. Performances will have two subfolders My Profiler and Local Library). Also do a backup to a thumbdrive as you can open the backup with Rig Manager. Enjoy!

Welcome.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. Deep into it, and no looking back. I'll try and post any further questions in the appropriate thread.

Welcome dude.

1 tip from me, make the Kemper as complex as you want. In other words, I don't tweak much, I treat it as plug and play. If you like deep editing and refinement, great, but much of the sound out of the box should be 90% there.

So:

1) Backup what you have

2) Do a factory reset - why not and best to do this before you invest heavily in "fiddling"

3) Connect to RM so you can easily see the settings

4) Try to find a good quality Rig to baseline your sound

5) Build from there

If you are still not getting good sound, then its possibly your monitoring/signal chain.

I think its easy to get caught up in trying to e.q. out a problem that is in the base settings.

I use mine live just like a regular amp, with added flex.
