MadRyan from the guitar amp board forums (the same guy who let me borrow/profile his custom built silver jubilee) has lent me his Mark IV A to profile.

So far, I have made 3 crunch channel profiles and 4 lead channel profiles.
Lead 4 and Crunch 3 were made with the amp set in tweed power (variac) mode as well as set to class A and triode switches selected on the back. For lead 4 specifically, I had it's little switch on the back set to harmonics.
The knob specifics, I have no idea what I had them set to. I just know that I played with all the controls until I got a sound I liked and then profiled it then changed everything around so that it sounded/felt different and then did another profile.
I feel like I captured quite a bit of what the amp has to offer yet at the same time, the flexibility of the amp makes me feel like I have only scratched the surface
I think that the lead 4 profile is my personal favorite of the bunch due to the extra clarity the tweed setting gives you. The beauty of the kemper is that you can bounce from that profile to a full power profile and not get the huge volume change that the actual amp has. Taking that lead 4 profile and cranking the gain produces a VERY different feeling/sounding overdrive than what the other lead profiles (at the same level of gain) have.
Here is a sample of the real amp and the profile. I recorded both the amps at the same time so you can hear the identical riffs on both sources.

EDIT: I didn't realize there was a download limit on google drive files that are made public.
I guess it should have been mentioned that all the rigs are on the rig exchange. just search for "mark 4" and you'll see the 7 (so far) with my username as the creator.
Edit: Here's what they all sound like if you want to hear before downloading/loading to your kemper.
It's all 7 profiles of the mark IV. the 4th part of playing is the crunch 3 profile but with the gain raised.
At the end, I raised the gain of the 4th lead profile. I used my EBMM JP6 w/painkiller bridge pickup and dimarzio PAF pro neck pickup.
Goes from crunch 1 to crunch 2, crunch 3, crunch 3 w/gain raised Then, lead 1, lead 2, lead 3, lead 4 and then raising the gain up on lead 4.
