Yeah I gues sthat's no different ( hassle and connection wise) than using a DI box..
And more flexible.

Sorry I should have explained better...simply I like to have the device near me so putting it next to the FOH mixer ( which I know its really what Zappledan meant) isn;t really an option. I can have a DI box next to me but just plugging in the MP3 into the KPA all through the same XLR output is the benefit..
You can have your own small mixer and feed that to FOH.

I always use a mixer for such things.

Also, you can purchase IR's that have been converted to Kemper cabs directly from Celestion. I use their Celestion Blue for certain chimy cleans.

Morgan Ac20 profile by rmpacheo cleans up quite nicely as well
This. I also have a copy of this rig with the cab changed to one of the Celestion Blues available from Celestion. Drop the gain a little and it's a beautiful clean. And, welcome to the forum!

LOL. Well, then send an email to support and ask ...

Welcome to the forum! I suspect that's normal, but I have mine packed away for a move right now.

I'd start by getting it off the ground and away from any corners.

Have you tried different rigs within the Performance, or a different Performance? I'm wondering if there is a really high noise gate setting somewhere.

I don't think the latest OS has the factory presets anymore. I think they're available via RM though. I would copy all of my rigs into a folder on RM before deleting them. That way you can easily pull back the ones you like.

Really happy you've got the sound you want but....
I do struggle a bit with the combination in the same way I still don't understand why people still need OD or boost pedals.
There are 15,000 profiles out there on RE alone and countless commercial profiles and yet you are not alone in not finding your sound without adding other stuff.
The Helix is also a great device with loads of great sounds but the thought of trying to use both gives me a headache. I'm sure there is someone out there using Helix, KPA and Axe in an even more complex set up..
In my mind if you are having to add more gain or eq. etc. and hence presumably why you run out of effects slots then its probably the wrong profile. It just seems overly complex and expensive to add more external gear. One of the big things to me about the KPA is its a one stop shop.
I have always looked for the right base sound and then just added time based effects on top. More gain needed? Get an amp with enough gain ( hence why I used ENGL's and not Marshall - btw I know they sound different but there are other options)..hence I'm not even close to running out of effects slots.
I know this isn't how others use it and no criticism intended, just wanted to share my approach. Keeping it simple has so many advantages, not least matching devices ( gain levels etc), additional gear and connections blah blah - it just shows what a diverse bunch we are..
Maybe I'm just too easily pleased
I'm with you on this one.

Have you tried all the free rig packs available via Rig Manager? That should give you a clue. There are also many good rigs in Rig Exchange. I, and many others, use the rmpacheco Morgan AC20 as our #1. I confess, I changed the cab on mine to one of the Celestion Blues, however

If you are just switching between two Rigs, you don't need a MIDI pedal. A much cheaper option is to use any standard dual momentary switch box that functions with a TRS cable, and attach it to one of the Pedal Inputs.
Switches can be connected to both the PROFILER and the PROFILER Remote. Switching functions can be assigned globally. These functions include Rig up/Down.
You can put the two Rigs in adjacent Slots of a Performance, or if you prefer Browse Mode, rename the two rigs so they are sequential in your Browse Mode view. (for example 00001 Fender Twin, 00002 Marshall Plexi)
And with a second simple footswitch you can control morphing, giving you even more tonal options.
