No. You can’t remove the Rig Exchange or Rig Packs.
You can minimize their folder trees, but they cannot be removed.

While not amplifiers, I’m rather certain these could be modeled properly…
Not sure I agree. If LP provided any substantial improvement, salesmen would be leveraging it for more $. I can imagine it "For only $x.99 you can purchase the knob settings so that you too can achieve the unparalleled benefits of liquid profiling."
I totally see the idea coming to people's minds, and that's as petty as it gets IMO. I mean "We profiled the amp and wrote down the knob values. But we won't tell you unless you pay more."
Well.....how about you piss off?
Britt and TJ aren't going to be so petty. If someone else is, then it becomes a marketing point. "Liquid Profiles at no extra cost!!"
Without a load box to bring the signal back down, I see no way to do it safely.
For me it looks like LP is just a cosmetic improvement.
Instead of having a value X (generic) you will have a ("realistic") value Y for the LP for gain/tonestack.
The source (profile snapshot) will be the same and profiles with different amp settings will still be needed.
If the gain up or down becomes more useful - that will be WAY more than cosmetic to me.
He says 'reference amp' though but then later he says it is possible for a 'model' that does not exist yet. So when he says 'reference amp,' I think he MIGHT mean profile?
I knew CK had said it, so thanks for finding it and saving me the time!!
Given that the tone stacks are modeled - I took his use of the term reference amp to indicate the type of tone stack. Meaning they modeled the tone stack of a Plexi, Twin, JCM 800, AC30 etc. These can be applied to any profile (like a Plexi tone stack on a Deluxe Reverb etc.).
That you can apply them to existing Profiles opens up all sorts of non-standard possibilities.
for me, context and the Definition control are key
The Definition control is solid gold.
For dirty sounds - Clarity is another underutilized parameter.
"Well it's no longer the original profile".
This is the part I've *never* once cared about.
If the idea is to create good and unique sounds - who cares if it's 'accurate'? Does is sound good or not?
The one thing I do look forward to is the gain knob sounding better when increasing gain.
Currently WAY easier to do it on the unit with the cab section focused and the browse knob.
IMO - forget retuning the guitar or digitally transposing. Like BB King said about using heavy strings "Why you workin' so hard?"
Retune the recording.
I will only use Transpose when there is no other choice. The tonal changes and increase in latency are just too much. That's not to be critical. I understand the limitations. It's a great tool to have when there's no other way.
For play along, I use Anytune and retune the recording. Much simpler and the app will adjust in .01 cent increments. I've used Transcribe! on Windows, which also has pitch-adjustment. In the age of tape recordings, *so* many songs were sped up or slowed slightly in post production.
I should take the time to relisten.
I do remember CK stating that the tonestacks will provide controls with different frequency centers. This implies a tonal change as the current TMBP controls will not replicate what the LP tonstack is capable of.
The fact is no one has said tonal improvements. Implying is another way to say guessing.
The tone stack will be more accurate to the reference amp - yep. Is that ‘better’ tone? Meh.
Big stretch to say profiles will sound better IMO.
I don’t recall Christoph ever implying tonal improvements.
Everyone else appears to have heard that, though.
Honest question:
Did anyone at Kemper actually say the tone would improve?
I’ve never even heard of such an issue or anything remotely like it.
You should definitely submit a support request to Kemper.
Won't become possible until OS 10.
They've been around quite a while. I used one of their Jackson Ampworks profiles for a while.
They've got a free sample pack, so it's basically no risk.
There are no parts inside requiring a certain orientation, so I'd have no issues.
Matter of fact, I used to put mine in a backpack early on. Worked fine.
Makes sense.
The Blackstar ain't cheap, but includes a (limited) reverb. The H&K doesn't, but is $200 less. One of my go-to cabs on my Profiler is a Redbox, so I'm partial to the H&K. (Also, Alex Lifeson used them for years....and I'm a Fanboy of his) .
The H&K also looks more straightforward to use and supports 3rd party IRs, where Blackstar seems to imply that it doesn't.
Maybe the H&K and a mini delay an reverb in the FX loop. Sorted.
If you need a power amp, the choices are good, but effects are limited.
If an onboard power amp isn't a necessity, it's hard to beat an HX Stomp. If you need more foot switches, but not a massive effects chain the PodGo might not be a bad idea.
^ Also engaging the -12db soft-button on the XLR outs helps tremendously.
