I’ve been noticing that the profiles I make tend to be a solid 3+dB louder than the ones I’ve bought or downloaded when I’m recording, even the clean ones. Is this a normal thing? I’m getting tones I like so it doesn’t seem like a bad thing but I’m just curious why. I’ve noticed that when my preamp is too hot when making a profile the Kemper will tell me, just like when it’s too quiet. I’m not adjusting anything afterwards.
My personal profiles are louder than the ones I’ve downloaded

I, too, run my rigs "hotter" than most that come from commercial providers. I think it's just a matter of personal preference, but it is annoying to have to adjust them all

I think +3db is not a bad thing until your output LED goes into red. This could be the case, if you add additional FX which boost the volume.
So be aware of this.

Yeah guys, but the OP is asking why and if it's "normal" that the Profiles he makes are consistently-louder (by roughly 3dB) than the ones he buys and downloads.
Sorry LTG, I have no idea why this would be the case, but I am interested to know what's going on, so... following.

It could be because of the Input settings on the OP's KPA. My guess is Commercial profilers all use 0 Clean Sense and 0 Distortion Sense, so their Rigs will be compatible with the Factory Settings.

I don’t change these when I profile but I can check it. This does happen on both clean and dirty profiles I make.

The rig settings of the rig that was loaded prior to entering profiling mode will automatically become a part of the resulting rig. Try if loading a thirdparty rig before you profile makes your resulting rig equally loud.
