I have the black lunch box and love it....just wondering if it is possible to ALSO use as an FX only unit and completely bypass profiling for the odd time I would want to use it with a tube combo?
Thanks,
Derek
is it possible to use th Kemper as an FX only unit?

Of course you can, just switch off the Stack section. Profiling concerns only the Stack section (mainly Amp and Cabinet).
You can use a Stratocaster as a baseball bat ...

And a Telecaster for playing cricket! ...

If you make some rigs with "Stack" turned off, you could edit the rest for good results.

Yes, Tellys have that uncomparable "swing" you need for Cricket.
But even with the Stack left ON the Kemp works perfect in front of a tubeamp. It is like a classical Little-Big-Amp setup:
small tubeamp > speakerDI box > volumepedal > big tubeamp
Or what others call "brown sound". -
awesome....thanks guys!!

Hm, I should try that with my hiwatt before it's gone! -

I hope you mean that Kemp into tubeamp thing, not the uncomparable cricket-swing.
Well, if there is a Line-In I would always prefer that. I don't see really an improvement in going into another preamp (Instrument Input). But even that works fine, I had it recently with a blackface twin. I didn't even have to change the output EQ at all. It was just nice right from the beginning!
Anyway - what we call a fine guitar sound is the result of those Blues and Rocknroll guys back then abusing their tubeamps beyond what engineers recommended as "clean usage". There might be things to discover.

Man, Thanks for the hint! Things could have gone Bad!
This Kind of experimenting is Fun! Reminds me on the Tube Radio Experiments in the Old days. Back than It was all about badass distortion... -
Oh yes. I remember the crisp overdrive of a Telefunken reel tape machine before it went up in sweet smoke ...
