How do you listen to it? What kind of amp/speaker?
Check the Output EQ.
Check to see if you accidentally "Locked" something.
Try lowering rig volume instead of gain. It shouldn't go into red because red means clipping.
Check Cab section - high shift , low shift and character (they should be non locked and at value 0).
Or try system reset :
QuoteSystem Reset:
1) switch the KPA off
2) press and hold the 'system' button
3) start KPA (boot up can take a little bit longer).
(All your KPA settings are then lost - presets and profiles will not be changed)

Hi Damian, why start to tuner? When i do a reset i start to browser. Is there a difference? I get my reset hint from the mothership a few weeks ago and it works.
cheers

Hi Frank:) You right - there is no difference - just copied and pasted this procedure (I've edited the post);)
Is this with all distorted profiles or only with specific ones?
I'd suggest to see if this happens with the high-gain factory profiles as well. If that is not the case, it's the profile you are using. Concerning the output clipping: Check amplifier volume (3rd page of the amp settings), Cab volume, Rig volume (the volume next to the EQ dials) and all of your effects (e.g. EQs, boosters, etc. Everything that has its own volume parameter).
In case that does not help either, try recording a DI track and a wet track using a high gain factory profile, and post it here. This way we can double check the sound on our units to exclude any hardware problems.
please make a short recording that shows the issue.
make a backup (this might be interesting for the support)
have you updated to the latest firmware?
the rigs don't change their sound after firmware updates.
one minor exception was the corrected bass reponse.
you can go back to the original bass responce by ticking the box in SYSTEM "LFC off"
but I doubt this is the problem here.
Lately I sounded thin too, and realized it was because I rolled back the clean sense input parameter. Try increasing it.

Please note that the cleansense changes nothing if you use a distorted sound.

Hi Don, what means LFC off or on?
Hi Don, what means LFC off or on?
Hi Frank,
I saw your question, and thought I would reply. I am sure Don can give a more detailed explanation. However, this may be of help. Below is an excerpt from the Kemper 3.0 Addendum Manual. The Addendum Manual provides a list of all feature updates and bug fixes, going back through the various Firmware revisions.
The LFC (Low Frequency Cut) was implemented in Firmware 2.6. Here is the description, from the Addendum manual:
QuoteDisplay MoreImproved Profiling
We have analyzed and revised the profiling algorithm. This has led to the following two improvements:
Due to a software flaw from day one, a number of existing profiles feature a little too much energy in the
region below 60 Hz, when compared to the original amp. The effect is very subtle and the basic character
of the profile is generally not affected. Nonetheless, we have taken the opportunity to correct this with the
latest firmware. The result is an increased authenticity, even of profiles created previously, and an improved
performance - especially when played through a speaker system with a linear response down to the lowest
frequencies, such as a PA, or studio monitor system.
Since we know that sonic improvements are not necessarily perceived as such by those who are familiar
with the original sound, we have also added an option to compare the two versions, and to disable the
correction if desired. Go to page 8 in the System Menu and activate softbutton “LFC Off”. It will illuminate
to show the correction is disabled. If pressed again, the frequency correction will be reactivated. The cor-
rection (or its cancellation) will be applied globally, and not on a per-rig basis. Please be aware that a reset
of global parameters (“Init Globals”) will bring the frequency correction back into effect.
Profiles captured by this or future firmware version will take full advantage of this improvement. When you
disable the frequency correction, this will only affect profiles created using earlier firmware version.
In response to some users complaining about a lack of bass response when a tube amp is profiled, we have
found a way to improve the profiling algorithm. You will notice that less effort is needed in the profiling
refinement procedure, as well as a moderate improvement in authenticity, even without refining. Although
this improvement also affects the bass response of profiles, it is not related to the improvement described
above. Please note: this improvement will only affect new profiles captured by the latest firmware. Existing
profiles and rigs will not be affected, and will keep the sound that you are familiar with.
Lately I sounded thin too, and realized it was because I rolled back the clean sense input parameter. Try increasing it.
Clean Sense does not affect the tone.
maybe it sounded thinner to you because it was lower in level, but that's pretty much it 
the Clean Sense is NOT a secret 'mojo' control

Yes I know it just means a lack of volume, but it was enough to make it sound thin until I realized this was the reason.
Whenever I have a negative change in tone for no explicable reason it's usually down to a bust cable. Check the cables and see if it helps.
I know that this is an old post but I have experienced same issue after updating firmware to 7.5.
The issue is within OUTPUT section.
On the "Main Output" find section called "Low Cut" and "High Cut".
Roll "High Cut" to 2.0Hz and keep adjusting until you get the clarity you need.
For some reason "High Cut" parameter is not cutting high tones, but it's cutting low muddy tones.
The "Low Cut" seems to be working as expected and it is cutting lows off.
I hope it helps.
I’ve had my sound go downhill and figured out the noise gate was turned way up. Huge difference when I turned it down.
