I've had my Kemper powerhead for about a year now. I've purchased profiles from Tone Junky, Tonecrate, LiveReadySound, and a few others. IRs from Celestion, a bunch of free packs, and the Ownhammer Heavy Hitters V1. Running it through a Headrush FRFR112. 99% is high gain material.

I feel like I get one of three sounds no matter what I try:

1. Boxy/honky - like it's coming through a Radio

2. Ragged - like the IR speakers are being shredded

3. Fizzy/Sizzle/icepick - hurts the ears.

I can't just get a nice smooth sound out of this amp - everything sounds brittle, and the profiles sound nothing like the sample videos (I realize there's post processing going on, along with a different guitar, but what I hear on the video and what I hear in person sound nothing alike).

I've tweaked and tweaked. Even did a factory reset today. I've run it through the 2x12 for my Mesa Roadster, tried headphones, etc. Everything just sounds like it's clipping like crazy. I've tuned the input sensitivity, not using Pure cabinet. Running out of ideas on this.

I'm reaching out because I don't believe I'm just a super-picky guitarist who wants some kind of Holy Grail. There has to be something I'm missing that's boogering everything up because the sounds I'm getting are truthfully on par with an old Line 6 amp I had.

Hoping you all can help. thanks.

I appreciate everyone's efforts on my behalf.

I like being able to set up and sort my profiles by name, boost/no boost, channel, etc (see screenshot)

The same functionality in presets for cabs would be awesome - sort by speaker, cabinet, mic, on/off axis, etc.

OK, I understand now.

The Presets window has limited options. If you look at the Local Library or My Profiler Rigs folders you will see that all the fields I mentioned are available from a right click. However, they aren’t available for presets.

sorry what i mean is the presets section and also i get the same columns that you see...cabinet type, speaker, etc.

All good. Starting to think this feature isn't available.

So, that said, feature request - the ability to edit and sort tags on cabinet presets

Seems like an odd oversight.

Per the screenshot, those are the only fields I get when I go over to the cabs preset section.

Under "All Rigs", you get the expanded columns for cabinet type, speaker, etc.

Under "Presets", where my cabs live, all I get is the .wav file name.

very strange. i’m on Mac too and have all the column options available.

Quote from Ni6htWalker

maybe that is because you are in the profile section and not the cab section.

I haven’t seen a cab section - just what’s on the screenshot.

I can see cab details in the profiles tab, but I can’t see anything for imported IRs- they all end up how you see here.

I tried that; only options I have are the ones on the screenshot.

Right-click on the column header section.

This screenshot is the all the columns available to me. It's Mac OS in case it's different from Windows.

The cabinet tags are available in the rigs section, but I'm trying to access them in the presets section for cabs.

I'd like to be able to sort through my cab presets so if I want a SM57 off-axis, it's easy to find.

I posted this earlier, but the thread got closed before I could follow up:

I’d like to be able to sort my IRs by speaker type, cab size, mic, mix position, etc.

Currently the IRs are limited to what can be put in the name (e. g. “1960AV30SM57OFFAX”

Would be nice to filter down by each column - “4x12, V30s, SM57, off axis”

I know the cabinet tags exist on the kemper itself, but can’t see them in rig manager.

What I want to be able to do is go through my cabinet presets and filter that way for when I'm selecting an IR. Currently, all I can see is the preset name with no tags (screenshot attached). Am I missing something?

that”s intended behaviour as he rig names are personal any unique. They don’t necessarily need to reflect the amp but could be song names or anything else you want.

I get that. For now, I want to be able to see some basic settings at a glance without getting my computer and opening rig manager (EDIT: Or twiddling through multiple menus). For example, I have 50+ VH4 profiles with various channels and boosts, that are numbered. There's no obvious pattern to the numbering scheme and if it's boosted or whatever. So I'd like to be able to take all the profiles that are VH4s, channel 4, boosted with a Fortin 33, and rename them to something like "VH4 CH4 F33 1, VH4 CH4 F33 2, VH4 CH4 F33 3, and so on.

Even an option in Rig Manager to regenerate the profile name based upon the tag contents would be nice, and I can't imagine it would be that difficult from a programming standpoint.

Quote from Wheresthedug

i think you can already do that.

I found that; my issue is the rig names don't change (unless I'm missing something).

So even if I change the amp name, etc., the rig is still called "MeBo DR GAINIAC SUPREME" or whatever.

The ability to create and assign custom tags to profiles or modules.

Example, I’ve got a ton of 6505 profiles. Being able to assign tags as descriptors (eg Scooped, Crunchy, Saturated, Mids, Dark, Bright, etc) to each profile would be great so if I’m looking for a dark, mid heavy profile I can filter by those requirements.

I would like to see the ability to batch edit profiles with a find/replace function.

Example, find every profile that contains "MeBo" and change it to "MESA"

Find every profile that says "Mars" and change it to "Marshall"

And so on. I've got 4 or 5 different ways people have typed "Mesa Boogie" and it will take forever to go profile by profile, changing "MB" or "MeBo" or "Boogie" to "Mesa".

Thanks.

I've got a ton of IRs arranged into a variety of folders. Is there any way to import them into Rig Manager and maintain the folder hierarchy? So far it looks like I have to manually create each folder, then import the IRs.

If I change a rig name, is there some kind of unique identifier that the profiler/rig manager can use to identify it?

Example, if I have a rig that's a Mesa Dual Recto but has a stupid name "RECTO-BLASTO BOOM!" and I change it to "Mesa DR Lead", does the profiler/rig manager recognize these to be the same rig, just different names? Or are they saved as two different rigs?

If you are using FW7 and the latest RM you can manage the CAB-presets on your KPA today.

Just look under Presets/MyProfiler and there you will find all types of presets present in your KPA.

You can drag those to a local folder in RM and delete them with ease.

YES! Thanks for the tip - I'm weird about consistency when naming files and whatnot. All these random cab names were driving me nuts

Suggestion:

1. Ability to perform a factory reset (e.g. selling amp or just want to start over).

2. Ability to mass delete/manage IRs from Rig Manager - I've got a bunch of IRs installed, some good, some bad. Would like to be able to delete all them off the amp, do some housekeeping, and load them back up.
