Think I have spent about $200 on profiles from Top Jimi, The Amp Factory, MBritt, and a couple others. What about you?
How much are you spending on profiles?

More than I should be. But way less then I used to spend on gear when I was using amps and cabinets. And I'm actually enjoying my tone for a change.

I have not spent much! i bought a couple of profiles on soundside and some on Ampfactory.
othervise i have found some good preinstalled profiles and some on the exchange server.. The problem on the exchange server is that you dont know who have good profiles oer even rigs that suites you and your style! the votingsystem is a joke!.. all i want is good ampmodelling set flat EQ without effekts! and i dont even understand why someone make 10 profiles of one amp with same cab and mic! finding EQ, sweetspots and right gain is verey induvidial out from what guitar and style you use -

Same here. I haven't brought any profiles for a while as i feel as though i'm profile saturated

I have all of Britt packs, so you can do the math. I also enjoy when new profilers make the scene, to just sort of see what's up...so I've checked out some new guys as well, and I'm glad I did since Cili (not new really) but his latest stuff like the Mark IV is fantastic, the best I've heard! I've also tried just about every other profiler such as The amp Factory (Yay!) Top Jimi, (most of) Guidorist, Stymphalian (?), TONEHAMMER, Petes and more.... etc.... so I'm sure I've spent more than you guys. However, my philosphy is that:
1. I love playing guitar and I love tones and I love auditioning tones
2. I love playing with the Kemper and organizing tones and amps ``how cool is that??
3. This is my MAIN hobby and joy
4. Once you INVESTED in a piece of equipment like the Kemper you can enjoy all these different amps but only if you invest in quality profiles
5. Read 1-4 again.Some may debate that quality profiles can be found on the rig exchange, believe me I know there are some good ones out there. However, I've been just as thorough with the rig exchange profiles and I know for a fact most of them fail in comparison to a solid Britt profile for example; there just is no comparison. Rig exchange often sounds good when you audition them, but the second you A/B it with a similar amp from a well known profiler you'll discover why some profiles are not free! My advice is to wait for sales as they come around often and just take advantage of those.
Hope that helps as far as my situation goes. Cheers!

Ive spent about £4-500 on Profiles in the last 3-4 years
-
Too much!
But I've slowed down greatly over the last year or half year. I rarely buy any anymore. I guess I have finally understood that I already have what I need
-
Well perhaps 50€ max, and finally, I only use free profiles...
-
i ve bought stuff from many of the commercial suppliers but i suspect that like many of the other long time owners i have cut right down these days, still often tempted though and on the lookout for the next profiling genius..
-
About 150€ for Guidorists amp, sinmix producer bundle, deadlights mesa pack, top jimi and some others.
I have in use: guidos, sinmix, and from the free ones: djemas, thumas, jevos 5150 and some marshalls and the evh profile from taf. -
I already have more profiles I ever need. I thought I could get all my dream amps with the Kemper, but this was not the case.
Many profiles sound identical and I've paid for some, I was pretty disappointed. That's also the reason why I've stopped buying any furher commercial profiles.Maybe, we already have the best we can get...
-
I have bought lots of profiles and I think I will be covered forever.
That said, sometimes curiosity gets the better of me.
'New kid in town ' syndrome. -
Jet, I did not buy any.. I think, there are so many great profile on re, that there is no "need" for it.
The problem is to find them...
This would be a reason for me to buy some, if I get tired of searching... -
Spent hundreds of Euros and don't regret one cent because still I spent much less on profiles than I would have to pay for ONE of the real amps I got profiles of. Currently I'm also a bit slowed down on buying new profiles, to be honest. I have many many many. But I do know exactly which profiles I would buy in an instant once they are available. So I'm not yet completely "out of business", hehe.
-
I just got my KPA so I haven't bought any yet. Hope for a Black Friday Super pack deal or two and then I may pull the trigger!
-
I haven't added it up, but I have probably spent $3-400 on profiles. And have tried pretty much everyone. Have slowed down a lot this year. But a pretty cheap habit for so much enjoyment
-
Could we open a market place for used profiles like
FS: Used TAF profile from 2014, the profile is in very good condition without dings and dongs. Price: 1€Only a joke

USED PROFILES!! That made me laugh.

Well, many sell their Profiler with the profiles they had purchased, this seems actually not far from a second-hand marketplace.
