Bluezzmoaner Pleased to hear that. Thanks.
Hallan Correct. Zero processing. Digital S/PDIF out of the KPA into Reaper. Guitar plugged straight into the head. Kemper's Space feature set to 1.2/10 in these clips for some subtle stereo. I appreciate the kind words.
CJGOMEZ , please write back with your thoughts. I'd greatly value the feedback. Remember to start with the __FAVES folder.
Samples sound fantastic!
Thanks for listening, Bryan.
Or do you mean the amp only as in the amp i want to profile? If yes, can i hook up any amp speaker out to a DI?
I wasn't clear. Run an amp you've profiled from your Kemper into your DAW without cab IR enabled, is what I meant. You're most welcome. This is the approach I've turned to for my profile packs. I find it a faster and more direct route than converting IRs, loading them onto the Kemper, cycling through on my machine, and deleting the ones I don't like. Plus, the blending option is cool.
Keep us posted. I have a feeling the Kemper will just ignore the room sound and extract the frequency response at the mic position, but I'd like to know definitively.
I know this thread is older than dirt, but man, viabcroce , you've got a heck of a vibe! I listened to your reference track three times through already. Thanks for providing this.
exilech , any update from last week’s trials? I’d like to know what you found out.
Another route you can go down is to blend close and far speaker IRs in your DAW and save them as a single blended IR to import back into the Kemper. Several paid profile packs (Celestion, OwnHammer) will give you close-miked, speaker rear, room, and other IR options.
1) Record an amp-only pass into your DAW (temporarily disable the speaker cab sim on your Kemper)
2) Duplicate the recorded audio track several times
3) Instantiate the cab IR plug-in of your choice on each audio track. Lancaster Pulse is free and reliable. Use your DAW’s track level to control blend, keeping Pulse’s level settings identical across all tracks
4) Once you find the blend you like, delete the audio tracks and import the IR .wav files you auditioned onto their respective tracks. The level controls should have preserved their blend.
5) Export the new IR blend as a 44.1/16 mono .wav file
6) Import into the Kemper via USB
It’s tedious work, but the payoff can be big.
I'm guessing 200-300? Maybe even two fiddy?
I've got some bad news for ya...
I'm giving away my latest profile pack (a $5.00 value) until 1/21. You'll find it here in the attachments.
This pack is based on the just-released Supro Blues King 12. Sweet little amp. Loosely inspired by the Fender Blues Junior, but with a smoother-voiced 12" speaker and stackable Gain and Boost switches. This one was tough to profile with mics. I think the IR blend does a better job of bringing out the spank, body, and drive characteristics as heard in the room.
I'd love to get your thoughts. Thanks for supporting RealAMP.
Sit back and write a few tunes whilst you wait!
The great thing about owning a Kemper is I don't even play music anymore. I just spend all my time dialing in tones. 
I have it on good authority that Line 6 plans to buy out Kemper and absorb the profiling technology into its Helix family of products. Profiling will now be authorized through paid Profile Tokens. Amps, stomps, and cabs will be sold individually through the cloud. Premium artist packs will be available through a paid monthly subscription service. That's what this year's NAMM announcement is all about.

diogofis , thanks for sharing all these! Quite a collection you've got here.
@rmpacheco Pleasure to meet the man behind the AC20. Thanks for sharing your work freely and breaking down your profiling process for us.
I've been through several fuzzes, ODs, distortions for profiling purposes, and almost always prefer the raw amp. What are some specific makes and models you've had good results with?
From the manual: "Some distortion pedals use a special design that cannot be captured accurately, for instance the Tube Screamer."
I've tried the 3Sigma impulses in my DAW, (the martin and the taylor) and they sounded worse than going direct - and I was really disappointed - as I thought they might be brilliant and was looking forward to Kemperising them - like Pete Thorn did with the Helix.
That's too bad. Live, I run my LR Baggs Anthem SL into a Mooer Radar pedal running the 3 Sigma Takamine and Martin IRs. I've been pleased with them. Do they sound like a mic? Not really. But they sort of add that bloom and listening distance that mics give you.
Gforce guitar, depending on your guitar setup, production style, and how "super" you need your results, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the 3 Sigma IRs to you. Particularly the Takamine pack. You'll just import them into Cab Maker and then into your KPA like other speaker IRs, then load one into a patch an bypass the Stomps, Amp, and Effects sections.
Tone Junkie's 35% off everything sale is still going strong. His new Plexi pack has been getting some love.
I own this pack. There's some good stuff in it. Top Jimi is in a class all his own. I don't know how he gets his cabs sounding so good.
ashtweth Yes, thanks for clarifying.
GodlessEndeavor and Monkey_Man , thanks for the helpful input. It sounds like the only way to suit a pack to all tastes would be to profile with multiple guitars and treat as separate packs. I pretty much only play single-coils, so that’s always my preference.
From your experience, do single-coil/humbucker packs (like Selah Sounds) get you in the ballpark? Or is it necessary for commercial profiles to do a Les Paul, Tele, Strat, ESP, etc?
397f7c95538961c9090da40b2b0b6e229b278069, I really appreciate the kind words. That’s encouraging. It’s hard to top the real thing.
ashtweth, most of these patches were tailored for the stock pickups of my Squier Classic Vibe ‘50s Tele (Alnico III, vintage output). That’s what you’re hearing in the clips— bridge and middle positions. Hope this helps.
