So as the title says , how many swap cabs in existing profiles ?
I never touched profiles , play : like : keep ...
Should I ?
What are you favourite cabs you always blend in ?
Thanks

I have done it. As with all preset management, it is challenging to manage all of the cab IR's once you convert them and upload them. I think it offers a lot of possibility but right now the logistics are too daunting for me to really understand and exploit the full potential.
I've done it multiple times, when I created my performances - especially when using Marshall profile. So mainly combined with a 4x12 Greenback cab or similiar.
Thing is with commercial sellers , I thrust their instinct and assume they make the best combination possible
Raf
I do it on almost every rig..even the commercial rigs...I have maybe 3-4 goto-cabs that works for me
One more thing , I still use a regular guitar cab (diesel 2x12) so look for merged profiles so for me it's not that important , only PA and at home

i do it when i search for a signature tone.
I change the cab with a IR of the tone made with Ozone and CabMaker.
I have tried it but it didn't catch on. Didn't get to a better sound. Haven't done an exhaustive search, which is what I think is needed when using only profiles with unknown cab quality as starting point.Would like to experiment more.

It would be interesting to know which ones!
don't remember the names but I'll check when I get home tonight..
When I first got the kemper,My sound guy told me my tone was changing too much on patch changes, I did everything I could to level them out, but when I just used the same M Britt 2-12 cab for all my patches, things got good,Works for me, not saying its for everyone,
There seems to be a big dif,tone wise,, when I went from a FRT37 clean with a 2-12 open back cab, to a lead / Marshall with a 4-12 closed back, as cool as the concept was, it was not working live, esp, out of the direct outs, With more time and a big room to dial it in, I sure it could have been dealt with,I just found my solution,,
My 2-cents( worth only $1.75 these days)
I always change modify it with the matching cab profile of the cab I use IRL.
Of course only for the profiles I'm actually going to use live.
In some cases it might not do good to keep the original tone but it will help you to tune the rig at home to make it sound the best on the cab IRL.
This works for me and might work for others as well.

Good point , so indeed one cab that fits it all should be nice
I tried for every profile I intend to use different Cabs.
Very often the original Cabs are good enough, but approx 50 % of my performance rigs runs with other Cabs..

I don't think you should for the simple reason that there are already too many choices in the profiles. Adding thousands of Cabs to the menu will only make the rabbit hole deeper and more difficult to navigate. More options result in less satisfactions, you will end up facing the paralyzing problem of too many choices.

I also use a 2-12 DR Z ,,and aun-powered Xtone at my side stage,,out the direct and powered by a JOYO V1V0, so I can adj the monitor vol without disturbing the stage mix,

the cabs I use for live and rehearsal have changed over time but for now I use Bogner 212C by Bert Meulendijk (friedman pack), Cameron CCV100 by eleven eleven studios (free) and Mesa Traditional 4x12 by deadpan...haven't recorded anything lately so I don't know if they are "record-ready) but they sound great live (to me)...I mostly play mid-gain marshall-style amps (think hardrock, not metal:)
For those of you changing cabs, how do you deal with the fact that the Kemper doesn't know where to delineate the amp from the cab in a studio profile?
in most cases i try to use merged profiles. For the studio profiles I'll either use a same speaker cab or one that blends well with that speaker.
I use DIs plus IRs of RedWirez. Maybe going to try some Ownhammer IRs. But I also use cabs from the profilers, it all depends on the sound, but I am still experimenting with things.

I'm not a purist. I really don't care what is going on digitally as long as I like the tone that is coming out of my speakers.
