I suspect you played really well.
Yes, no amount of gear can make me sound good. It is scientifically proven. I hear people with old trash acoustics and only doing hammer-ons that sound 1000x better than me.
Well one piece of gear always helped. My ancient Alesis Midiverb II. That thing is pure gold.
Wow killer !! I'm jealous man
, please let us hear that beauty asap
I think you meant to say "please let us hear it ASAT" 
Larry is out here living the dream! Love it!
I am just guessing what the Kemper is doing below. I have not played around with PURE CAB much.
When you mic an amp, you will not get a perfect sound without some work. The mic will not only pickup the speaker but also any reflections in the room. You will also have sounds hitting the mic from different parts of the speaker at different times. If you have a 2x12 or 4x12 you will also be getting sound coming from the additional speakers which are a further distance away and will be delayed/out of phase.
The reflections are never in phase with the original sound. Sounds that are "out of phase" will reduce the volume of a particular frequency. This creates little suckouts in the frequency response. The higher the frequency the more change an out of phase signal will do to the speaker signal (due to the ratio of distance traveled to wave length).
If I were to write a PURE CAB algorithm I would first look at the freq spectrum of the IR. Then I would try to average out any fast dips/changes in the response. These would not normally come from a speaker but from mic phase issues in the making of the IR.
Having suckouts may be a critical piece of a high gain tone due to the high amount of harmonics in the signal. That is why the manual states PURE CAB may not work great for high gain stuff. With a clean tone, large changes in the IR are not as noticeable.
The manual states that PURE CAB affects badly recorded IRs more than good IRs. I take this as "We cant fix what isnt broken". If there are no suckouts to fix, we wont do anything.
Like I said, just a guess. The first time I made a sweep of my 2x12 cab, I was blown away at how bad the suckouts were. It took a lot of blankets and foam to clean it up.
If it sounds like it is being played thru a tube, it has suckouts. It is amazing how many speaker IRs from big companies sound like they are in a tube. You would think they would make the IRs in a single speaker cabinet filled with sound deadening material while being in an anechoic chamber to reduce any outside reflections. Or use Room EQ Wizard to record several sweeps and average them together to make the IR. Amateurs 
The PEQ is a really great tool. Not sure why it was not added.
One thought is that the PEQ was required to adjust your tone to get closer to the amp profiled. Since we have Liquid EQs built in now, the PEQ may not be needed as often. And fine tuning the GEQ may be all they feel is needed???
As Buck stated, the PEQ is so useful on the fringe cases, it really seems like it is needed. Especially for live situations.
Typical marketing. Price things very high and people will assume they are the best quality. It is amazing how much money people will waste on stuff that does nothing but make them "feel" like it is better.
Since the internet's inception, I refuse to buy from people who do not add information. Companies will give me free bandwidth and 10GB of drive space but you cant add a 34kb JPEG of your device and 500 bytes of text data??? Good bye.
Weird that no-one finds this to be a critical point.
I agree, I have not seen much discussion on this. Would be cool of you could see ALL of the FX in RM, but only have 4 selected at a time. So you could ignore the ones that dont change the main sound.
But the KPP is missing some of the effects themselves, so you cant really use a profile if it depends on certain things for tone. What happens in RM when you hit those pedals in a Rig?
The KPP should be thought of as an AMP PEDAL only? All of the other bells and whistles are extras? I would not put much money down for profiles that dial in a certain sound and rely on FX to do it.
Um, how about if it was like really small and had no screen and only had like a few buttons and ran on pedal power supply for inclusion on a pedal board... yah. That would be sweet bro. 
Bless you! Always a fan favorite!
Ted Nugent at California Jam II was one of the greatest moments in rock history for sure! Coming out on top of his amps wailing away with all that semi-solid feedback! I was glued to the TV when that was on. He was at the top of his game at that time. Playing some Nugent pinball and watching Cal Jam II.
Good times
Cal Jam 2 was also one of the greatest events ever. I was watching for Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush, since they made my favorite album of all time (Live). But was blown away by everyone that played. Especially Gonzo.
I dont know who the guy in the other picture is. He doesn't even look like he knows how a guitar works. His picking hand is in the wrong spot. Sheesh.
Oh yeah, studio is looking killer! I am super jelly.
Would be interesting to see what other things in other units that would augment the Kemper.
I have been writing a VST for a year now and all my other equipment is gathering dust. But I keep getting antsy to use the Kemper with all these great rollouts lately. The VST has stereo IRs so that was always a thing. But the other day I added 150Hz low pass into a slight distortion and added that back into the sound. To try and give it some speaker breakup and thump. Its definitely fun running the Kemper thru that craziness.
I know Pod HDs had a thump setting for example. Every unit I have ever had, has some cool thing about it nothing else has. Even going back to my early digitech RP that had a Single Coil/Humbucker selection.
Interesting to see what people can frankenstein together. Especially with the PLAYER being affordable. You could use multiple units and go nuts.
Today is a glorious day. My long awaited telecaster has shipped and should be here early next week!
NO WAY! That is great!
Maybe a future option for "building a modular Player system" ckemper?
Yesssss. A little green box with a few inputs that mixes the players together. The box could also act as a tray system that holds the two PLAYERS together to they act as a single unit. 
Cant imagine why you would need a cab impulse (IR) for a song.
The one thing I would guess is if someone was trying to do TONE MATCHING.
An IR is a recording of what a speaker, cabinet, mic, and room do to a sound trying to come out of the speaker. These things all add to the frequency response of the sound. A top quality IR would try to remove as many of these variables as possible. But the end result is you get a certain EQ/Sound from the IR.
Tone matching is a thing where you run a program that analyzes a sound and tries to create an IR from that recording. This may be what someone is suggesting to do. Run the song you are performing into some Tone Matching app that spits out an IR to get you as close as possible.
I am just guessing here, but trying to help you figure out where you are headed.
The really cool thing about the price point is you can buy two Players for less than a Stage. Thats right you want a Kemper that can do two profiles at a time. Bingo you got it. You can do as many as you want, just add more units. The Player is hitting so many sweet spots.
Are two Players more convenient that carrying a Stage on a Plane? Maybe run two units as one somehow? So you get more flexibility with an easier to carry footprint???
Sorry I am just riffing. Its an exciting time. The fact CK is here talking about the future of the device and its capabilities, has me excited for the future of Kemper.
I've had my Sweetwater "sale's engineer" for years also and I wish they would change me.
Every customer experience is only as good as the person you are dealing with for sure. That is why so many people just order online. You dont have to be at the whims of a weirdo 
Backordered - their favorite word I guess. G&L doesn't make large runs like the other companies and they get scooped up pretty quickly when in stock. I ordered thru Sweetwater figuring they would have the most influence on getting it faster. I guess not.
I bought a cheap G&L tele. The lipstick pickup was hands down the worst sounding pickup I have ever heard. Popped my old Squire Strat pickup in. Night and day.
Not crapping on G&L, just trying to soften the blow of not getting the guitar you want 
My friend has a good G&L Tele and its the best sounding guitar I have ever heard. Hope it comes soon for ya!
Monoprice has a Tele on sale and you get 20% off right now
I don't get all the whining....
Players wanted a full function Kemper in a smaller package for travel. This is not that.
But the Player serves another function. It now makes Kemper affordable. Kemper is now in a whole new market space. I know if I could get a Player for a decent price, I would have converted to Kemper many years ago. Instead, I never even looked at Kemper because it was way too much money for me ($500 US max). Line 6 making Helixs sell for $1500 made me look at a Kemper.
This is like giving away crack for free to new drug users. Soon used Players will be for sale everywhere because people will be upgrading to the bigger stuff 
Looks like the perfect unit for its purposes. Kempers designs are always perfection.
USA buyer here, I always buy from Sweetwater if possible. The fact I have had the same person as my sales rep for many years tells me they are paying these people well and it is a decent place to work. When you call other places, the person on the phone is like "Bro, I am making minimum wage. What do you want from me?". SW always goes the extra mile to make sure I am happy.
That said, SW annoys me with the Google Ads following me around for weeks after I look at something. You looked at a Kemper, here are Kemper ads for the next 3 weeks. Hope it wasn't a Xmas present because now everyone in your house is getting these ads. Some days I want to move to Europe, you guys dont seem to put up with this crap as much.
I wonder how much of a difference it is to buy from Kemper direct. Seems like most sales rep configs would have the german sales rep firm making money from the sale. Of course that would be closer to 5% then the higher numbers a seller would make. Interesting topic. For me, it would be dumb since they would have to mail across the globe. Someone will eat that cost.
I purchased my Kemper from Guitar Center (in town) in case I wanted to return it. When I was unhappy, GC would not take it back. So that back fired. I then bought my Helix from Sweetwater, so you lost a sale GC nice job. I try to never buy from GC ever. Musicians Friend purchased them and are slowly making them better but they are still my last choice.
I buy Sweetwater or MF Stupid Deal. MF has taken care of me in the past very well, but dont have the depth of help SW has.
I have a local shop I try to buy from first, to help them. But they rarely have what I am looking for. So I end up buying like 2% of my stuff there 
I may make donations of old stuff there later
This should make some people happy Excellent work as always! It is always amazing when you see a company that understands what they are doing and who it is for.
Cheers!
Living the dream fellas!!! I feel lame in my dingy musty basement surrounded by trash
