rolfeurope I think contacting support is definitely the best thing to do.
The reason I asked earlier how you recorded it and how you checked the guitar and cables is that I could hear what sounded like talking in the clip. If it was recorded from the output of the KPA (ie with no mic involved) then that would imply either a microphonic pickup or a badly shielded cable that is acting like and antenna.
Wow. That is really bad. How did you record that? Direct to interface or with a mic?
You mentioned that you have already checked your guitar and cables. How did you verify this? It actually sounds like a dodgy pickup or bad pickup wiring.
I can think of lots of tube amps that had shorter life cycles than the Kemper 
That’s what the manual says but I think is more of a generic description. I don’t believe profiler can tell what the pre amp and/or power amp is contributing to the overall sound. I believe this function is Kemper’s interpretation of general distortion characteristics in the same way as they use a generic tone stack of their own design.
Try tweaking the tube shape control and see if you like the results. If you do brilliant. If you don’t then nothing lost. But I wouldn’t think of it in terms of trying to replicate the real characteristics of the pre amp or power amp distortion from the original amp.
I would check all the input and out put connections just to make sure there is nothing physically damaged but other than that ypu should be good to go straight away. It is possible to reset everything to factory settings but not necessary in most cases.
As for the remote just make sure all the footswitches are working and the screen isnt damaged.
I totally get where you’re coming from about the Mesa rig noth being viable. I have always been a mesa player but as I get older (50 this year) ligging them about isn’t mich fun, they are way too loud for most stages (I’m ised to having them mided anyway), cabinets are too directional which can make hearing on stage less than ideal, my own hearing has taken a battering over the years but the bigges t problem is that they are unusable at home. Most of my Boogies have master volume knobs that go - nothing, nothing, nothing, SHIT there go the windows ! 
I had to use attenuators to play in the house.
My wife has hearing so sensitive that she can hear me playing unplugged from the other end of the house so I REALLY NEED something that works and sounds killer at any level. Nearly a year into my Kemper journey and I haven’t looked back. It was definitely the right choice for me. To be fair I also think Axe Fx, Helix and Headrush are fantastic tools but the Kemper just felt like a better solution for my personal needs and tastes.
I am sure you will love yours when it arrives. Have fun 
The Mesa Nomad 45 is almost certainly available for the Kemper either on the free rig exchange or in someone's commercially available pack. However, the Nomad is pretty similar to the Caliber , F and Mark series amps (but with fewer features than the Marks). You should be able to get a similar basic amp sound from a profile of any of those amps all of which are popular with fusion players.
That’s just how metal guitar sounds 
Just kidding but in all seriousness FIZZY isn’t a term I associate with my experience of the Kemper so hopefully the guys will manage to help find the cause.
Agree V8. Push/Push on the footswitch is a big ask. I am pretty confident that assigning to momentary is possible and should work nicely (although I haven’t tried it yet. I’ll give it a go tonight.
The Dunlop will work just as well (probably better) than the Mission for your neds due to the longer travel. It desn’t have the extra switch under the toe but you don’t really need that and you can add a separate extrnal switch of you ever want.
As for controlling Volume and Morph from the same pedal. Theoretically NO. It states in the manual (and Burkhard has often confirmed) that this is not possible by design as having morph and volume on the same pedal could create “logical conflicts”.
However, there is a simple workaround that will should you do what you want (particularly as you don’t need Wah from the KPA). Selctect Wah>Pitch and Wah>Morph. Your Wah pedal will now control Wah, Pitch and Morph. Unfortunately, you want to control Volume. Kemper make this possible by puttIng the Wah Booster pedal in on of the Stomp or FX slots and locking this for all your rigs or performances. Judging by the number of times volume pedal queries come up it appears Kemper sort of shot themselves in the foot with naming of this feature. Most people don’t know it exists because it is counter intuitive to think of volume as a wah effect.
It won’t be perfect though as the volume will only work when the Wah Booseter is turned on. If you want it for swell effects that’s probably fine but if you want it as a main ral time volume comtrol you really need a separate volume pedal.
You are not alone. It drives most people crazy but unfortunately it seems to be a legal issue and there is nothing anyone can do about it. I believe several commercial profilers have receive legal letters demanding they stop using amps real names or face court action.
That sounds like a fault. If you have the mite signal box ticked in the system menu there should be no sound at any of the outputs.
You can’t control the sound pre or post power amp in the profile as the profiler does know where the signal path splits in the real amp.
I think what you are referring to is the ability to move the tone contrils pre or post amp. This is a soft key button when you enter the eq section of the Stack block. Press and hold EQ and you will see a pre/post option.
What kind of strange noise?
Better still can you record a clip of it?
check the profile and use the volume knob.
I thought the knobs were just for aesthetic purposes. I didn't know you could actually turn them 
Cool. Glad you found a way to do it.
I've been trying to recreate it myself this evening but was struggling to replicate it. Then I remembered that I wrote it all down in a post when I did the comparison.
Oh, god - not another Kemper comparison test
You can see that I did it a different way but I just tested Dylan's way too and they both sound the same to me. Go with whichever one is easiest or make most sense to you.
Glad to hear you’re making progress. It will only get better from here
oooh, I’ve seen Banned from Utopia a couple of times locally to where I live. Fantastic musicians.... I went due to a friend of mine being a massive Zappa fan and, whilst I don’t know where to start with 100+ album back catalogue, I certainly enjoyed it - they were great
You start with Apostrophe and Overnight Sensation like any regular folks that might wear tennis shoes or the occasional python boot.
They are usually available as a double CD. Of course if you're listening on Spotify or something then that's irrelevant
If you want to hear some really awesome stuff from Vai check out Jazz Discharge Party Hats and Dangerous kitchen both from the Man Form Utopia album.
I did it when making this comparison because my Torpedo Reload was making a strange noise. Four of the example used the real amp reamped via the Kemper. I can't remember the settings as it was trial and error mainly but it worked. If I get a chance tomorrow or later in the week I'll try and recreate it.
Merged profiles are regular profiles 
The difference between Merged and Studio profiles is simply that the Merged profile knows exactly where the amp stops (DI profile) and the Cab begins (subtracting DI from Studio profile) whereas turning off the Cab on a Studio profile needs the KPA to estimate what part of the sound the Cab contributes.
The FX come after the Cab slot in the Stack module even if there is no Cab being used. Therefore, in a merged profile the FX must come after the Cab as far as I can make out.
I would do like Michael suggested. Set a rig with volume 0% and 100% and morph between them. For really fast use I would set the Remote Switches to Momentary then you could kill the signal when you tap the button and have it return when you lift your foot off. Should be able to do that super fast if you want.
