Maybe EQ your monitor send. Do you have full mix in your IEM or just your guitar?
Are you listening from the headphone jack?
I have the same problem depending on the venue's setup. There are a lot of components between your Kemper and your ears but the quality of your tone is very dependent on the quality of the board's preamps. Midas pro consoles are the best I've played through.
If youre running from your Monitor out to desk and back to in ears , make sure that the monitor cabinet isn't turned off.
You should probably add some 'Space' and try increasing 'Real Cabinet' as well. Then EQ on Monitor section to your taste
Hard to answer without a crucial bit of information.
- what is the signal chain between the kpa out and your iem's?
If it's direct out of the kpa to the phones, it's easily tweaked to sound how you like (within reason).
If it's from someone else's desk/chain and then sent back to your phones, then it's slightly more complicted, but easy to solve.
Please let us know how the chain looks and I'm sure the guys here can help you out.
I am using Sennheizer EW300 i feel the opposite! its better sounding in my in ear than PA snd DXR monitor.
I use the aux on a Presonus Studio Live. Mixer with my main band. on other PA`s I have played on, its the same good sounding In ear system! I have no Idea of what the EQ is! propably flat!

I am also using a EW300 (G3) kit, but I find the included earbuds to be rather mediocre. I find it very hard to place the buds so that they sound the same every time unless I use custom molds.
This issue is why I keep a simple 4 channel mixer in my live setup. I feed my Kemper directly to the mixer and then get a stereo mix from the rest of the band. That way I know the guitar sound is unaltered.
Don't get me wrong! But what I learned was that when the sound through the IEMs sounds like crap, maybe the profiles really also do. I tried setting up my sounds through my IEMs at home until I was satisfied and then refined them at live levels in our rehearsal room. And guess what: the Kemper turned out to sound really better than before. Most often the IEMs tell the truth.
Give it a try!

Very interesting concept and idea

Thanks. It really, really helped me a lot. For me this was the solution to all of my problems. Give it a try, mate.
I definitely agree that programming your sounds through your IEMs is a good idea, but sometimes the venue just has a crap board with bad pre's so there's not a lot you can do. Unless you have a little mixer and plug in your guitar and your monitor feed from the house to your IEMs. I'm actually really interested in doing something like this, has anyone done something similar?
I monitor my IEMs directly from the Kemper headphone jack and bring in the band monitor mix through the aux input. Since we use an Aviom monitoring system I can remove my guitar signal from the Aviom feed so we don't get any phasing issues. Sounds good and let's me hear things directly from KPA.
Just started using a Rolls pm55p for monitor mix and my guitar from kemper. Still adjust my mix via an app but lets me adjust more or less me and more or less mix on the fly..
http://www.rolls.com/product.php?pid=PM55P Thinking of attempting to add another trs jack to it in order to have stereo mix and stereo guitar direct from kemper headphone out...
I use Shure SE535s. It might seem trivial, but make sure the earbuds are clean. You should have gotten a small tool to clean the canal in the earbuds. This makes a huge difference, especially in the top-end.
