I also created a dropbox account.
I'll link up with Rig.
Great playing and sound!
Would like to see your work on the tweaking!

Not a dumb question at all
all questions are welcomed! We all start somewhere and I was wondering the same thing at some point when I got my Kemper lol 
You can change the cab section for any profile. To save a cab from a profile, select the cab section, then hit save and save it as a preset. Then when you want to use it with a profile, just select the cab of that profile, then use the dial to find it in presets and select it. Super easy once you do it a few times
Hopefully I explained it okay enough lol
Feel free to lmk if you have any other questions
Thanks a lot!!
That's just weird cause as far as i understand, the profile is being captured with a certain cab - so how can we change it?

In comparison I tweak my Kemper rack unit "wayyyyyyyy wayyyyyy" less than I did with the Axe FX II XL+ I owned, and way less than I do my Helix that I still own. Which means I play more (I need that) and tweak less (I need that too) . That's a good thing!
For a newbie like me it's nice to hear that you choose your KPA when you have axe and helix too lol

Some people will advise you to not tweak profiles at all. That method definitely works for some and might work for you. You just gotta find what works for you
For me personally, I've gotten the best results by tweaking profiles. If I were you, I'd try tweaking the Definition, then Presence and Treble, then Mids and Bass. I'll occasionally tweak some other parameters but those are the main parameters I'll always need to tweak. And if tweaking those parameters didn't work out, try swapping the cab to a different cab section. Try saving a few cabs as presets, from a few profiles you really like the overall sound of. And then try swapping the cab section and see what happens
Honestly, in my opinion, the cab section you use will make the biggest impact on your tone. The Cab is underestimated and in my opinion shapes a huge part of your tone. So try experimenting with that a little bit and see if you can get good results.
One important thing I would suggest is to only tweak profiles that are at least close to the tone you're after, or profiles that you really like something specific about (gain structure, response, feel, etc). I've wasted a lot of time trying to dial in a profile I thought was only okay, just seeing if I could get the tone I wanted out of it. And most of the time I can but, it'll take more tweaking than was worth it. Most of the time I'll get the best tones when the profile doesn't need so much tweaking. Sometimes I won't even need to tweak it and just changing the cab section makes all the difference.
So the people in the forum saying to not spend too much time tweaking a profile and to not waste time on profiles you aren't vibing with, definitely have a solid point and it's very valuable advice
It'll save you TONS of time lol!But at the same time, the Kemper has a very powerful EQ and powerful parameters in the amp section that can shape the sound. It can be empowering to learn how to use them to your advantage
Different things work for different people. You'll find what works for you
Especially with all the advice and knowledge the others in this forum share with each other! And you'll have some great advice to go off of at least Great thank you for your answer man.
That might be a stupid question but can you change the cab only for direct profiles?

I massively tweak them. Like, a lot. I look for potential from a profile NOT necessarily one that is ready to go, because I haven't found that yet. I've been playing tube amps, well, my first amp was a tube amp at about 12 years old so, 40 years. So I think I'm pretty good at getting a proper tone. I thought I was gonna throw up the first week I got the Kemper because I thought everything I heard was crap but after getting to know it, I don't think it can be beat. Just remember It's the sound of an amp Mic'ed up not "in the room." good luck.
Great thank! Actually I am quite disappointed so far so I'm glad to hear you say that it taken you time and now it's unbeatable for you!
About the amp in the room, I i know and i had a modeler before, so I'm used to it

Agreed. I tweak little if at all. Definition and EQ primarily. If a profile is so so, perhaps changing the cab helps. If it is horrible I waste no time; I just look for another profile that suits me. And I try to test profiles thru headhones, monitors and a cab.
Are you tweaking the EQ on an Equalizer like a graphic eq or on the "Amp" eq? or is it just hi and low cuts?
-
How are you listening to your Kemper? That may make a big difference in the suggestions you receive.

Hi guys,
I got a Kemper like a week ago,
Loaded in profiles (M.britt, tone junkie, Amp Factory etc) and there are very few profiles that I am satisfied with as is...
So I wondered - How often do you tweak your profiles? To what extent? Which parameters you're tweaking the most?
Cheers!

Hi man!
I am a kemper newbie myself (1.5 weeks),
but i suggest you to add an Equalizer and set the hi-cut to 10K and the low-cut to 80.
That might solve your problem with Higain profiles
Cheers
