I heard a lot of profiles with a Les Paul today but I'd be very curious to hear the same profiles with a Strat (Or Fender Squier) and make a A-B comparaison. Did you tried that before guys? I am sure it's totally different on each profiles , sometimes better sometimes worse, but different, right? 
I think I'll rent a Strat or invite a friend to try this out. Your thoughts?

Yes, that's correct. Your pickup choices will dictate your tone with each profile, to an extent. You'd be surprised at how close you can make a SC sound like a HB with the right tweaking.

Like any amp, the guitar / pickups / string gauge / plectrum / player and other factors have the potential to come through on the Kemper. How much they come through depends on the profile, how you’re settings are dialled in and fx etc.

I have a humbucker at the bridge of both of my stage Strats - while they sound different from each other, and even more different than my Les Paul or the other mahogany body guitars, they still sound great with the rigs I EQed for the mahogany guitars.
The SSS strat I have is a Taiwan Squire, with stock pickups. It has less gain, and is brighter, but sounds just like it would if I switched to it with a regular amp without changing gain or EQ.

Profiles sound vastly different with different guitars, in my experience. Single coils and humbuckers have very different signals that they output, and there's lots of variations across models of pups too.

very interesting, and it also means that the same rig can sound like a killer for some guitar and ho-hum on another. So maybe I will indicate which guitar is best on my rigs ( i am about to buy a strat or squier)
