The factory ones A-D.
IMO -
There is one called acoustic dream on the RE that's a very good one
-
If you like "body res" kind of tone armin sell some (Martin, Taylor etc.) on his website which are not bad at all.

Go straight down the list.

Strat neck pickup + LB63-PIEZO from the rig exchange gives a terrific ethereal acoustic sound. very inspiring.
quick demo here https://soundcloud.com/david-d…ezo-from-the-rig-exchange -
I use a modified (Eq and Comp added) Marshall Acoustic amp profile from Soundside.
Epi J200 and LR Baggs M1 ....sounds awesome live :-))) -
Thanks everyone!! I appreciate the opinions and I will definitely look into all of them. I am really looking for profiles that have a authentic, woody, full bodied acoustic tone instead of the more "electric" sounding tone. Most tones I have heard in many simulator amps have a more electrified jazz tone. They sound great but they seem to lose that percussive and dynamic tone of a true acoustic guitar.

Back to the rig exchange:
In addition to the previously mentioned rigs, if the Boss AC-2 profiles don't work for you, nor Bill Ruppert's profiles, you may be looking for a profile of a product that doesn't exist yet. "The Kemper reproduces the tone, it doesn't create it"If you are looking for authentic woody natural acoustic sounds, I've never heard anything that can make a solid body electric REALLY sound like an acoustic. Not Roland COSM, not Variax, not Piezo bridges. A medium or full depth hollowbody electric would get you much closer with any of the rigs, because the natural attack and sustain of the guitar would be closer to an acoustic.

In this case I misunderstood the OP completely. I thought an Acoustic was available.
Paults' post Is completely valid. -

With an acoustic, no amp profile is needed - just make a Rig with whatever FX or control is needed. Compression, EQ, Reverb, etc.
Results will depend more on what pickup is in the guitar, and the tone of the FRFR cabinet. The Kemper is essentially a Channel Strip/preamp/DI box at that point.
A piezo bridge pickup will tend to sound acoustic/electric. Something like an LR Baggs Lyric will sound more woody.
Mainstage performers have been using bridge pickups for decades with great results, largely because of the quality of their monitors, and/or their in ear monitors.

I will be using it with a soapbar pickup in a hybrid acoustic guitar. I am really just trying to add "body" and fullness to the tone without making it sound too electrified. I never thought of using the Kemper without a profile, I will definitely give that a try! Thanks! -
You're welcome! Let us know what you come up with
-
No amp profile did the trick. It definitely got me a lot closer to the tone I was looking for. Thanks paults!!

You're welcome

Bumping this thread from a year and a half ago. I am happy with what I have been using but I was curious if an new (or superior) acoustic profiles have surfaced since Oct. 2014?
-
By heart I'd remember Rigbuster's and Soundside's acustic packs\rigs... Plus some various stuff on the RE

I have a fishman piezzo pick up bridge in my Strat. The result is good but not perfect.
I would like to have more body, but it seems there are physical Limits.
I started to experiment with formants, but up to now I did not really suceed.
For strumming chords as harmonical rythmic background it is quite good enough. True acoustic work is not possible.Mainly I use this profiles. Piezo Fishman from Adrian Aceituno (Barcelona) Date: 2012 -09-22 - I think I found it at RE
Acoustic Taylor from the acoustic pack of Soundside.
Rigbusters SR Jam 100 are quite good (but better for an acoustic guitar).
Soundsides Acoustic Body from his acoustic pack I will try later more seriously. (A short sight did not convinced me direct , but I think there is potential) -
I have a Shertler Unico acoustic amp profile. Might help... Search exchange for "JR shertler" and you will see it...
