Just wondering what would occur if you profiled an amp with a big reverb, phaser or delay on it? Would it become part of the profile or just be a mess?

I believe the process would fail. You cannot profile time-based effects.

It's in the profiling manual. Time based effects cannot be profiled.

Time based effects cannot be profiled.
I didn't read the profiling section. And probably never will as I have no intention to ever profile an amp. I bought the Kemper to play amps I don't own. I just wondered what would happen if you had a reverb on the profile. When you write time based effects cannot be profiled does that mean it will not work at all and abort, or that you can profile them but they won't sound good? That was what I was wondering. If the manual reads you cannot profile time based effects but allows you to go through the process, then it would not be accurate to say you cannot but better to say it won't turn out correctly.

Hi, Dynochrome.
Here's and excerpt from the Kemper Manual.

Wonder what is so "special design" about a tube screamer that Kempers don't like? I know Klons and Timmys get profiled.

i believe its the amount of clean signal that remains below the distortion portion. However, that should also be the case with other TS style clipping circuits.
i have always wondered about the KPA can’t profile multiple gain stages thing. It has often been assumed that it referred to amps which distort both the preamp AND power amp. However, i suspect it might be another “lost n the translation” copywriting issue which actually refers to simultaneous signal paths where clean and distorted run in parallel (like a TS). I wonder if ckemper or Burkhard could throw some light on this for us? -
I've profiled amps with reverb and delay, as I liked what they did to the tone. The profiles just come out dry, though the tone was the same as it was through the effects. It's pretty neat, actually. Those old Fender reverb tanks impart a warmth all their own. It's kind of cool to get that but then set it in a plate reverb instead of a spring.

thanks Sam. That’s interesting and probably worth playing around with.
