I got the Stage from Spain cause it was good price and live in the US, but it came with the EU power chord. Will a US power chord work or do I need an adapter?

Does anyone know where I can find SL68 profiles? Also, are there websites that do custom profiles made to order? For example, I am wanting a Peavey 5150 profile with stock cab and at certain amp settings.

So I sold my FM3 and made a good profit and bought the Stage. My main issues with the FM3 was lack of CPU-you couldn't really transfer a lot of AxeFx 3 presets over because of the CPU issue. Also, the FM3 seems kinda buggy and the editor can be slow. Also, while the Fractal stuff sounds good, there is something about the modeling that I cannot put my finger on. A lot of the amps sound the same and they just don't punch very well. I got the 5150 in Amplitube from the Satriani collection and to me it sounded more like the 5150 than the FM3 did-just an example. Also, the plexi tones in the Fractal just don't do it for me-they are missing that very brash tone that cranked plexis had.

I know this forum may be a little biased, but did I make the right move going from the FM3 to the Kemper? And what makes the Kemper amps sound better than the Fractal? The effects in the Kemper seem to be good, and a lot of the professionally made profiles sound amazing. I think the only thing I will miss about the Fractal is the amount and quality of the effects.
