The Profiler's Stack EQ is a fixed model, Jens, whereas amp-EQ behaviour varies between manufacturers and models.
Thankfully the Profiler's EQ is transparent / gentle / musical-enough to be useful for all manner of Profiled-amp sources.

Say it ain't so, Keith!

Looking for something tight, good definition for single note rhythm work.
When I think tight / good definition / immediacy and ability to sit in a mix easily, I think 5150, Mike.

Awesome sauce, BT!
So glad you're lovin' it, mate; you must be wrapped.

Congrats, Brother Mud!
Buying it from "a blues man in Mississippi" only adds to its mojo, mate. Nice one!

Are there some must-haves?
If you want 3rd-party Rig pointers, try this sub-forum:
The boys have covered everything relevant to that "nod in the right direction" you requested, Mudchild, so I've nothing to add, except...
Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new Kemper!

Seriously-rockin', Niko!
Awesome, man. Superb tone too.

Yeah, I generally get 25 to 30 years out of mine, but sometimes up to 40, like the one I've been wearing lately, a Journey "Don't Stop Believing" tour T from 1981.
I'm a waste not, want not guy so I wear 'em 'til they fall apart. A Kemper T would last 30+ years easily I reckon so if I buy 3 I should be set.

George Benson's solo ain't half-bad either, brother, and then there's Michael Brecker.
Had this one since forever. How can you go wrong with such a lineup? Impossible!

For what little it may be worth, I've been holding out on saying this 'cause I wanted to hear more clips to either confirm or negate an initial judgement I made upon first listen.
Turns out that my first impression has held true thus far - there's something about the high end that I don't like. It sounds brittle / plasticky / harsh to me.
Kemper's top end OTOH is realistic to my ears - smooth-as-silk through to harsh depending entirely on the Profiling source, as it should be.

At a bare minimum, practically every gigging current Kemper owner would buy one for a backup
... or for practicing or noodling in the living room.
I'd be up for that for sure.

The JVM is a fantastic stuff, dear Monkey_Man. Only with a huuuuuuuuge negative point: the noise and hiss in the OD Channels is immense.
Oh yeah, my brother and I love it. He always said he would never buy another amp, and I understand his feeling this way.
The noise is indeed the only real downside.
Milchmädchenkalulation
You mean Milchmädchenkalkulation, of course.

IMHO all you can do is listen to mix-context clips and extrapolate what you hear, "translating" in your mind's eye how it might sound with your guitar/s.
Ultimately, there's always going to be an element of hit-and-miss, but the free Rig Packs in RM can go some way towards helping you gain insight on how a given Profiler's wares might sound with your setup.

I won't send a begging email, much as I'd love to get a T, 'cause they'd have enough on their plate already.

Such a neat-looking geetar. Congrats man.
-
Thank you, Xisale.

Gutsy move selling your JVM, man. Been trying to get my brother to part with his and replace it with a Kemper, which he said he'd do... 5 1/2 years ago.
Welcome to the forum, Enzo! Congrats on your new KPA, and as Ibot39 said, show us your 4x12 cab when you've finished putting the Kones in it, eh?
-
My pleasure, Damael.
I think you might have something confused:
RE = Rig Exchange
RM = Rig Manager
KPA = Kemper Profiling Amplifier (your unit, whichever form factor it is)
The question I answered was specifically about Rigs' disappearing from the Rig Exchange (RE).
As for your KPA, yes, make backups of that too... in RM!

Good video, Alan. Looks like I've been sucked down the rabbit hole again.
IMHO he didn't explain his preference for 48kHz over 44.1kHz very-well. He referred to the old-style analogue filters and common internet-delivery rates, but they're false arguments IMHO:
1) The digital brick-wall filters used these days don't require the roughly-4k "width" 44.1kHz afforded the old analogue counterparts. Adding a further 4kHz cannot be justified in this way, therefore. Remember - 4kHz was already added to the theoretically-necessary 40kHz specified by Harry Nyquist in order to accommodate those filters' steepness limitations.
2) Majority / popular opinion is not a valid argument.
It'd be great if Christoph ckemper could take a few seconds to confirm my contention that 44.1kHz is in fact adequate due to the progress made in implementing this filter over the years. It's so-ridiculously steep now that it wouldn't surprise me if we could theoretically go back down to near the Nyquist frequency for sampling rates, IOW, less than 44.1kHz.
