>I can edit fine on the profiler itself. I plug in USB to the latest version of Rig Manager on my desktop (running Windows 11) and everything just locks up
I had something similar when I connected the profiler USB through a USB hub. Moving it to a USB connection on my PC corrected it.
Good Ts last a long time. Wore my Starcraft T while hiking, some millennial kid said, “Dude, that shirt is older than I am!” By the looks of him I’d say by 4 or 5 years.
Maybe Mr Kemper just needs a little nudge with some t-shirt humorous memes....any ideas?
It frees up two mic ports on your AI.
My bass player friends like Ibanez basses too.

You may as well buy another Kemper cause you’re going to get stuck with whatever you buy him. ? Make it a Kemper Stage so you have both.
I always use a wah on pedal board before Kemper. I often use my profiled amp performance and the wah is very close to using the real amp. Same with other pedals.
Kemper just revamped the Rig Manager interface this year and made the Profiler much easier to edit and tweak. I wouldn't worry about a Kemper 2. You'll probably want the Kemper Remote too.
I use "strobe" on the KPA remote, best tuner I've ever had.
How can you give up the awesome cleans from the Rockman Sustainer? 
Looks like you have your answer!
I have a non-powered Kemper rack and there have been a few times I would have liked to have the powered version but really, not that many. It's strictly used through the AI and monitors. I am glad I got the remote and Mission pedal.
Your JBL cabinet is probably very clean and would likely work well as an FRFR cab with a powered Kemper. That and the alternate setup of the Creamback cabinet gives you some great choices.
If you plan on using the TAE as an attenuator/load box on the Kemper you need to research if it is made to work with solid state amps. Many Attenuator/load boxes are for tube amps only so you should confirm (some do both).
With your current amp and the TAE, adding a Kemper would give you enormous flexibility for recording direct. Kemper does bass well too.
I would get the Kemper Remote and the matching Mission pedal too.
Straight into the input like any amp. I profiled my amp with a cleaner edge of breakup sound and the OD pedals work with Kemper just like with the amp. I can also use the Kemper OD pedals and any combination of external/internal, whatever I feel like that session.
+1 on trying a different USB port.
Switch the Profiler to Browse and not Performance.
Did you update to the 3.0 Rig Manager where it has the controls at the bottom of the screen? Your timing is great because you may be the first of breed to grow with the new functionality in Rig Manager from the beginning.
Don't forget you can do bass with the Kemper too.
Looper is right on the remote but read the manual anyway ;). Good idea to get the remote!
Get on YouTube and watch the Kemper tutorials. Review them again after you've had the Kemper a little while. Learn parts of the Kemper in steps, it can be a lot to memorize at first and expect to take some weeks to get comfortable with it.
>Do you still use outboard pedals?
Yes. No stereo effects though and I see what you're getting at.
