I agree 100%
You can always rename it in your kemper!
Yes sir
Yes!!!!!!
Hate that....
They can be renamed, BUT, with thousands of profiles, the only way to know the original profile is to keep the same name.
AND, the search functions cannot work without the name of the amp.
+ 1000
But what is a good naming convention?
+1
Imo it will be a proper step ahead to name the rig like the profiled amp WITHOUT adding any creator-information (nicknames, initials or so) in the rig name. Therefore there's a specific slot in the profile.
I hate when profiles are call like "Thunder Storm" or "Greedy Horse"
May be it means something for creator but nothing for me!
Not sure if this thread pertains to free or commercial profiles.
I named a rig pack of mine in "nickname style". I think that it was easier to identify those profiles like that. Having them named Randall RH150 CH 2 /Mesa Triple Rectifier CH 3, Mod, etc... (dual amp profiles) would be way too long. I think that there is enough room in the amp and cab sections for the details about the rig. I have named profiles in different styles as well, the newest being; R = Rhythm, L = Lead, C = Clean. I also add "STH" to my commercial profiles in order to easily sort them. As mentioned earlier, If you don't like the naming then you can always rename those rigs to whatever suits you. This is just my opinion on the matter of course.

I'm naming mine in Binary from now on.
Here, try my new profile: "01100010"
Or perhaps I should distinguish myself in searches: "Fendah Dee Luxe" which is how I would say it actually. Former NYC-ite.
I'm a proponent of naming them similar to the amp with the variables profiled in the name so the end user knows what was profiled. Or15 V5G8 TMB5 (Orange OR 15) lets you know the volume was set at 5, gain at 8 and the treble bass and mids were at 5. If this info is not provided you have no idea of what was profiled. clean, push, cranked, rock out has been established to mean something different to different people. Like stated above you can name the end result whatever you want, but knowing what and how the amp was profiled helps me. I can tell if the power side was more or should be more prevalent by a higher volume or if the preamp stage was hit harder with the gain at a higher value. The other naming structure seems to be heavily influenced by line 6 naming. With the Kemper you are profiling the amp not trying to match a band's sound or tone so to speak so accurately describing the amp settings is an asset in my opinion anyway. I rename the profiles I use from others as such, but I never really know the eq settings.
Come to think of it, as long as the Amplifier and Speaker tags are accurate, name it whatever you want to:)
The idea is to help people to be able to find them in a search.
If someone wants to call their favorite Fender Deluxe Reverb profile something like "BR549", people won't be able to find it unless "Fender" and "Deluxe Reverb" are included in the tags.

This. Case in point, my naming structure goes "DR R OD9 57 MIDS" = "Dual Rectifier Red channel boosted with a Maxon OD9 mic'd with a Shure SM57 with the mid knob raised high".
There will never be a consensus about one 'right' naming convention.
That's why there are tags in the first place.
I make sure the tags are correct then 'AI" as my studio is Alien Igloo, then the amp used, then 'clean' 'dirty 'crunch', and finally a number if there is more than one of them with different settings.

There most definitely would be a standard if it was followed by a majority. Yes, the tags are there because you can't fit everything in the name, and they are needed and useful. With the rig manager renaming is easy....so if the information is in the name or tags defining the variables used then there is nothing missing...no more mysteries to what was profiled.
If you like the way a guitarist's amp sounds you typically want to know how they set the knobs. You look it up on the internet or some other form of reference and start from there. This is really no different. It is a valid point to pass that information on so everyone knows the the settings. It is not a difficult process. OR15 V8G7 TMB5........Fruit 1, Fruit 2.........Orange Clean A, Orange Crunch C...OR 1..... StoneSour full. You decide, which one makes the most sense and gives the clearest description?
