Hello. I've never done a Profile myself... I'm playing my kemper with a very good marshall Profile and different settings. It Sounds amazing with my cabinet. Is it possible to make just a cab Profile? I mean in a way that the kemper uses it's own preamp Profile and checks out how My cabinet reflects it? Problem is that it Sounds amazing, but every live engineer prefers to mic up my cab because it Sounds better than the Main out with the existing cab profiles... Please help me! I would do it with my daw and multiple microphones and EQING so it sounds like would record it... Thanks for your help!
Doing JUST a cabinet profile

By the Way, the Profile of the marshall is a ver3

Did you try to find a Cab preset thats make you happy?:)

Can't help you regarding profiling cab only.
What do YOU think about the MainOut sound vs Mic sound?
Maybe you realy use rigs that have a cab that doesn't sound "good". But might the problem be that these sound engineers just don't know or don't trust the kemper? There are a lot of people that think digital devicas can not sound good. And they think they get a better signal if they put a mic to the speaker as they are used to.
If so, a new cab profile wont help you. -
In order to profile a cab, you'll need a power amp anyway.
the best way to profile a cab nowadays is to make a direct profile and them a studio profile and merge them: you'll get a cab as free as possible from the poweramp's influence.But my first advise would be to try one of the thousands available free cabs and see what happens. Just hold the Cab button and then select another cab "from rigs".
Second thought: the cabs in the Kemper are highly tweakable... I'd give it a try.HTH

At First: thank you for the replies! I looked through the cabs, but none of them give me the balanced character my cab gives me. It always lacks some frequencies i appreciate on my cab. The Signal itself Sounds good. But it won't blend in the Band... It Sounds like that there's no way to do a cab Profile only, so i have to get a compromise cab Profile. Ok. Would have been nice to mic up my kemper for recording and then doing a Profile, so i can recreate my Sound for recording and live situations. Thanks.

A cab profile never exists without an amp driving the cab.
In your case I'd follow @viabcroce 's advice and do a studio profile of your setup, thereafter a direct amp profile, then merge them.
Now you'll have a perfect separation of your amp and cab. -
Just out of curiosity, how many cabs have you tried? You have around 2-3,000 available on the RE...
and, how much have you tweaked them?
also, how do you monitor your Profiler when you listen to the different cabs?BTW... Do you switch Cab off on the Profiler when you use your cab?
-
No, I just use the monitor out without cab in a class D poweramp in my cab. When choosing the cab, I use my studio Monitors (neumann kh 120) and my daw, feeded wih the Main out. I tweaked the profiles of the cabs, yeah. But at the time i built my Sound, ver3 was new and Not many merged profiles and cabs were available... I just wanted to know if it's possible to digitalize MY mixed down cab. But I'll look through the cabs again. Thank you all

Don't be too concerned about a rig not being merged: if it sounds good it's good!
many here have been happy with Till's cabs. There's a free pack floating around, could be a great starting point. But you can take the cab of any existing rig. And remember to tweak the cab section, there are a number of powerful parameters to work on -
YES- you can save Your tweaked cabinets as Cabinet Presets.
With the cabinet in the active view, press the STORE button - one of the store options is to store a Cabinet Preset.
-
a stored merged cabinet = a cab profile
it will translate with any DI Profile - like that amp would with the profiled settings on that specific cab with that specific micing -
