Judging by this thread, I can’t wait to see the discussions about the promised “OD/Dist” update.

Building on the profiler. Amp and effects are definitely wrong, not mislabeled.

Hi all,
I am about to leave for a small jam in an hour and all my performances are off. I re-did a few of them and saved them. Turned the unit off and on and they're still wrong. Stage user, and I'll save the jokes.
Could I be doing something wrong? I save at literally every step of the process. I don't understand what is happening. On the latest firmware.
Thank you,
Matt

Page 20 of the manual explains this.
Each of the buttons in the signal flow provides a unique and intuitive way to manage your sound. By pressing a corresponding button, you activate that module or section. Hold the button a little bit longer to focus the module and show its parameters in the display.

As noted elsewhere, I've always kinda sucked at dialing in basic tones no matter which amps I had, so I really enjoy the ability to just select a profile that's already "there" for me and play guitar. And yet, I'm quite looking forward to the editor.
Where it will be useful for a guy like me is the effects. I'll still just select profiles that have the base tone I'm looking for, but often for a cover band thing I'm looking for the signature sounds from the record. For example, it was easy to find a fat rock profile for Still of the Night by Whitesnake that didn't require any adjustments, but there's also a middle section with arpeggios that has some delay and wobbly bits in it.
I was able to find the effects and tweak the params to match what I wanted using the toaster buttons and knobs. I do usually prefer hardware interfaces, e.g. a Mackie MCU for my DAW, but in this case the small screen means lots of paging around. Of course, that's just a design reality for this sort of thing as there's only so much physical space available on the front panel.
So, even though I'm not what you'd really consider a tweaker of tones - which is pretty much a required talent if you're using a Line 6 or Fractal product - there are times when I do need to dial effects in. It'll be nice to see how much easier that becomes with the editor. From the brief videos I saw from the trade show floor, it looks like it's nicely done.
You mind pointing me to that Whitesnake profile?! Thank you either way!

Csacwp how do you find the 1/8 headphone jack on the Stage? Durable?
I need to test mine out once I kick this cold but I always get nervous when I’m not plugging into a 1/4 jack...

A question for this group: I just purchased a second hand Stage from thegearpage and know I will inherit the warranty.
In the off-chance there is a hardware issue- are you all paying for the shipping back to Kemper or are they arranging that for you?
