There is, one should say, a difference between things I WANT and things I actually “need”.

I’d like a second switchable storable hardware effects loop.
And a needle tuner option

But ‘need’ is another story.

I’m curious what “design flaw” keeps you from using it the way you want.

I would have rathered Red LED for flat and Green LED for sharp... easier to see at a distance, but it's nitpicking a bit

No.
zero.

what the POD provided was TWO crappy sounds at once.

I don't consider that a plus

Quote from monotone

If you cannot get the two units to sound identical this is no fault of the equipment only the operator/user.

or, it's the nature of your critical listening skills.

with respect, some people, and in fact most or almost all people, can't tell the difference between two almost identical shades of red, but professional colour correctors can.

No one could argue with "most people can't tell".

But you cannot accurately state ' NO ONE can tell"

Of course,
almost every DI box has a "through" jack so you can plug into it, send the through output to an amp and take the XLR to the recording desk (or preamp)

it's common practise with bass guitar.

in terms of WHICH DI, that's so much a matter of taste and preference. There are hundreds to choose from; some are passive transformers, some are active circuitry, and some are valve/tube based to add some 'amp-like' flavour to the direct signal.

The Radial JDI is a great place to start and is very commonly well liked.
that's what I'd recommend to start.

Just saying:

A lot of people would buy a $15,000 Mercedes.
But it wouldn’t actually BE much of a Mercedes.

I would have said, without knowing what they specifically use, that the dual and triple rectifier profiles are going to get you close to most common pop-punk guitar sounds.

Yes I’ve already had a 1u rack space panel made to fit on the back of the case that has the XLR out and the Remote Ethernet jack on it.

I agree-that I don’t want people fussing in the actual back of the unit on stage.

Or 96k

There has never been a real non-voodoo reason for 88.2k to exist.

I agree completely.

I ended up ordering a custom rack case from Thon (via Thomann) with 6 rack spaces, shock mounted, and a slot to house the remote.
It's not inexpensive, but I think reasonable (should come in around $450 USD shipped)

I'll post pictures, if people are interested, when it arrives.

and thanks again to everyone for the advice!

Yes. Of course.
But not everyone has TWO Kempers or they wouldn’t be asking for dual profiles in one...

You CAN profile your dual amp set up as a single profile.
You just can’t adjust the differences or balance between them later.

Personally, I LIKE the more amp like, multi knob, interface
It makes it more intuitive

I’m sure you know why you want the amp to do that, but I’m not sure why.

Things like the Van Halen record with the guitar on one side but its reverb on the other are MIXING choices they made at the desk.
Obviously no guitar amp does that.

As far as a doubling effect , I suppose you could set one side of a stereo delay to 0 delay and the other to 30 msecs.

But I’d have to sit in front of the Kemper to see if that’s easy.

Flats intrinsically have a rounder sound with more fundamental and fewer overtones.

That’s kind of the reason to use them.
If you prefer the brighter, more piano-like, sound of roundwounds, you should stick with them!

They’re not SUPPOSED to sound the same.

There may be ‘no difference’ in the digital output (or not much) as it’s just sample convert in the digital signal.
That doesn’t mean you don’t have a preference as to how your hardware interface and DAW sound at a particular sample rate.

I’m not sure that’s a way to ‘tell’ (without knowing what you mean, or your methodology, by ‘just switching sample rates’), but saying there IS no difference in sound between sample rates , especially within any one given device (including A-D converters) is nonsense.
Implementation counts.

I’d like one built into a hat.
