The USB stick is not included and you need it as it will come with factory rigs. Like you said its only needed to add profiles to the profiler 
You will sure enjoy it when u get it

It's not included. Any memory stick will do....it doesn't have to be large (capacity) as the profiles are small. It is also needed for backing up your rigs and settings.
BTW, congrats on your choice! I think you will be very surprised at how useful AND musical it is! 
Welcome! You'll love the profiler.
Hello and welcome
Hello Profilers,
I have a non powered rack KPA on the way, and am looking forward to it. I have a question about the memory stick. Is this included, and do I need it to get started? Or is this just for downloading new amp profiles? What kind would I need?
Dance, in advance, I've been a tube guy for years, and very active over at TGP.
Me too 
didnt want to steal your thunder but mine will be here tomorrow.
Now this could lead to something...
"Chris Kemper & His Profilers"
... Mhhh...
PS: Welcome!
And last but not least: You'll need a memory stick for installing new firmwares!
