Actually a main point they talk about in the video is not sound but "feel" or that "low mid speaker interaction growl - kind of thing". Something that makes only the player happy but nobody can hear. According to Rabea the QC is a new milestone in this respect. Let's wait and see...
We should take what Rabea said with a pinch of salt for now. He wasn't invited to test something and say hey this is a mediocre thing. I'd rather stick with a helix or a kemper.
Recorded some Zakk tonight.

Profile is a Keeley boosted JJ100 from Reampzone. Really really great pack for me. Very inspiring.
Hey we got the same guitar so I must like this. 
I never tried it myself, but isn't there an EQ preset called cut in the mix ?
Raf
There is a preset called cut in the mix yes. But there's no universal preset for all profiles that do the job.
Display MoreCheers people!
I'm starting to be more aware of how much different the same profile can be between two players and two different guitars...
So I was asking myself: How would I know a set of profiles would work for me before I buy them?
What's your insights on this topic?
I can't overemphasize the importance of a properly setup guitar and the mindset involved to create mix-ready (as in: this actually CAN be made to fit in a mix instead of pretty much hopeless).
the most common 'mistakes' are:
- the guitar itself doesn't sound as needed -trying to fix that with a Profile/EQ will never really work well
- the pickups are not doing what the should (darker sounding guitar with dark sounding pickups for example), pickups should be seen as a relative factor, the same pickups in different guitars will sound differently
- pickup-to-string distance:
- pickups too close to strings
- pickups angled the wrong way (bass side closer than treble side, when simple physics strongly indicates it should be the other way round - more mass moving in the magnetic field -> more output
- 'wrong' string gauge as in heavy bottom/light top - this only aggravates the issues illustrated above
- guitarist instead of producer mindset - a guitar is a midrange instrument, yet guitarists often aim for lots of bass (always a major mix issue later on), scooped mids (sigh) and treble that interferes with more important stuff in that range (vocal 'air' and cymbals)
- the guitar sound is tied to the bass sound, and the bass sound is tied to the (kick) drum sound
I bet most dissapointed buyers haven't a proper setup guitar(s). But still even if the profiles are not bad they might not be what you had hoped for. Different guitar with different pickups give different result. Just like one pickup sounds perfect in one guitar and then you go and buy the same pickup and install it in another guitar and...not bad but not stellar either.
Xmas is early this year... Received this beautiful LTD EC-1000 in vintage black.
I also ordered some Fishman Flunece Classics to replace the EMGs. But after some riffing im not quite sure if I should swap them, because the guitar sounds very tight and aggressive
If you like the emg, keep them. And send the fishmans to me as a christmas gift. 
A popular myth is the emg will sound the same no matter what guitar you put them in. Not true. With some guitars they sound killer and with others not so good. Just as with passive ones. I had that guitar like 7-8 years ago. Great guitar and I did regret selling it. Now I've got the ec-1000 et qm dbsb instead and I was going to swap the jb/jazz with active pickups but changed my mind. The jb in that guitar sounds killer.
Why was it a no go zone? 
Better getting a tremol-no for a FR bridge. At least what I would do if I had a FR. Less hassle when changing strings. 
Is it common for headphones to not sound good with the KPA?
No it all depends on what headphones. I use Ultrasone and I've never had any inferior tone with any profile. Some headphones work better than others.
Why not start with the 10s, and if there's not enough tension, then go to 11s? Surely there's a way to adjust the tension directly? Also, the nut and saddle cuts might be too narrow for the larger gauge.
Going from 10 to 11 doesn't make any difference in the nut or on a fixed saddle. But he's using a FR so there's no narrow in the bridge. Treble or bass string. The same is true going from 46-49-52. With a 56 in the bottom you probably need to widen the nut slot though.
Honestly it doesn't matter if shows D# or Eb as long as the tuner do its job. What do you mean with reference to tuned string?
What about routing the signal to the Kemper's Alternative Input and hearing everything through the Kemper's Headphone Out? I've read several posts regarding the quality of Headphones Outs of mid-range interfaces being inferior compared to the Kemper's Out.
True and it's the downside with midränge interfaces one have to accept. I know I've been there. I purchased a spl crimson second hand 5 years ago and still use it. The headphone is really good. So good that next time I need another interface I know it won't be cheap. But good headphone is a must too. So PGM301 go on the hunt on the second hand market and save some money.
Not bad at all.
For those into djent and low downtuning and a lot of gain, this might be perfect for them. For me? No.
GGD???
You may get answers that are more relevant to the kinds of sounds you want, if you also let people know what kind of sounds you like.
And what guitar(s) and pickups
Kemper forum and the most discussed topic is neural cortex. 
our buy 3 get 5 deal is on sale as well! 20 bucks for 5 profiles
Um you mean 5 packs for 20$ and not just 5 profiles.
