Less Rigs = Huge performance increase

Yeah, but they tend to accumulate again. It's hard to resist trying all the new profiles!

Great stuff !
But , except in file managements , is there any other benefit ?
(even) more real sound , more defined and more natural distortion, better unit response to guitar dynamic , ...?
Thanks

Ive gone down from 1900 rigs to 80 and everything in the kemper responds so much faster no more screen lagg when pushing buttons and startup has gone from 2 mins 50 to 0.40. No more sorting through profiles to get a great recorded tone all my rigs i have now are tweaked to be mix ready. I wish i done this a long time ago

totally agree with you, since not every amp are useful to our taste or to our music style, so i 'play and delete' some profile that just don't do for me

That would be an issue, not a benefit.

There shouldn't and there is no performance alteration due to high number of rigs.

That's what I thought as well .
I decided to stay with 128 profiles , exactly to match my 128 programs on Midi .
I will patent this idea

Sound like a very good idea!

let's listen what Yngwie Malmsteen says:

i have now several packages of each 128 sounds - makes it easyer to use simple midi setup
accompanied by printed lists of each package its good to handle ...

That's impossible! More is more.
A classic!:)

Since the release of Rig Manager, I've cut the number of rigs stored on my Kemper way down. I think I'm at around 160 now. Definitely makes startup time faster. Not too sure about any other performance increases as I had no issues even when I had a large number on my Kemper.

I use the Kemper as a recording/practice tool so I have it hooked up to my computer all the time. The vast majority of my profile collection is now stored strictly on my computer and I use Rig Manager to select them when I want to use them.

Yes, booting time is proportional to the number of loaded rigs. Mine is maxed out and takes a couple of minutes to boot

think I'm going to dump all my unused rigs now...

Yeah, with the Rig Manager, you don't need so many on the Kemper.

I still have 500 but I'm going to do this as well. Pare down to 128 MIDI keepers and then use RM

I went from 550 to 400. I don't know, but I get nervous when I delete a lot rigs...

I am in the process of doing this as well. I'll keep just the ones I need for my band.
Of course I'm trying out new ones regularly but I browse trough them with the Rig Manager....so easy to check new rigs quickly w/o copying them to the Kemper permanently.

Just wanted to thank ChrisBeaver for this thread because it spurred me to clean up my rigs as well. I went from 860 down to 190. I'm going to keep going at a later date but I feel so much better having some simplicity to my kemper. To each his own, but I feel much more able to deal with a smaller amount of rigs.
I also came to realize how thankful I am for the librarian. THANK YOU KEMPER TEAM! It was so simple to keep all my rigs to test in the future while maintaining my go-to sounds on my kpa. Love the green monster!

I have about 30 profiles on mine..... and I don't even need that many......

I just deleted over 500 rigs last night. It felt a little like spring cleaning and no sense keeping rigs that you will never use, I do have a back up but I don't think I will ever access them.

Backed up all my rigs and started cleaning house. From 450 to 125. Gonna get it down to 40. Start up time is much improved.
