Well I see where you're going but ok I will get some profile from rig manager but I honestly still dont see the point in why one cannot use my profile
Put simply, it's just so we can all be sure that what's being compared hasn't been corrupted by your Profiler in any way. The only way to guarantee this is for it not to touch (or go near! LOL) your machine, yeah?Surely, for the love of God, and forgetting all the adhering-to-the-scientific-method stuff, you can see that this has nothing to do with anyone's trust in you or your tweaking ability, and everything to do with starting with a guaranteed-clean slate?
I think you do. You're a scallywag, you are, Cederick!

Fatted text: THAT I can agree to being a reason to not use a profile from my machine, sure.

UPDATE!!!!!! 2016-08-28
Please download this DI signal, and reamp with factory rig "OLA - Edvaha"

Record in mono, Pure cab OFF, no/0.0 headphone space, SPDIF at 0.0db if you use SPDIFNothing weird, all factory standard settings
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

maybe your ears????

If other people are playing the exact same rig, with the same input and output settings, and you are getting a fizzy sound, but, they aren't:
check your level settings in your recording software - is it almost clipping?
And, compared to the others: You are using different guitars, with different neck set ups, pickups, pickup heights, etc.

No, nothing is clipping. I would have noticed thatOf course I know another guitar will sound different, but that's not the point. I was listening at AUDIO QUALITY not the sound of the guitar. I can difference between the two
I have several guitars and even with active vs passive pickups, I get the same kind of digital fizz, that other people dont seem to have.

Ha ha ha! This made my day, Cederick.That, my dear new friend, was the point all along - the ol' "known-quantity" thing; it maximises the size of the hammer, so to speak, and minimises that gory, squelchy leakage when you slam the rat.
Yikes... questionable extension of the analogy, but I wanted to continue the theme I established earlier.
No word back from support yet?
-
Yes, I've had a reply but they ask me to send a reamp so they can hear it, or something.
I'll see if I have time for that today...

///updateHi Cederick
A couple of outstanding "requests" from my original post:
Can you do/confirm this for me?Just one request: Please do it like this:
- MAKE SURE YOU TELL ME what your clean sens is set at! (and please double check this)
- use spdif, and set the output in the kemper to "Git/stack"
- record both the DI and the "amped" signal
- Please do the recording in a completely new session in your DAW, and make sure all faders are at unity (i.e. zero - no boost or attenuation). -
My clean sense is at -12 otherwise it gets red (still gets kind of red during reamping, not playing.........)
I've made threads about this, and nobody has ever come up with a solution. Others seems to have the same issue.
There's nothing wrong with my pickups or anything like that -

So... I tried going to rehearsal and reamping with my real 5150 head (I tried the Mesa Dual Rectifier first, but it wasn't middy enough) and while I still have to fine-tune some frequencies maybe, it was a lot easier getting a "natural" sounding amp sound this way.

What was your reamping/clean/dist sense setting?I run my reamping at 12+
Clean -12
Dist 0.0 -

All 0Reamping at 0.0 doesn work well for me, and I can see thats why your reamp is much "cleaner"
I get identical sound for playing and reamping if "reamp sense" is at +12, otherwise, it doesn't seem to get enough gain.
If your reamp sense is at 0.0 then thats why your sound so different to mine
-
Funny, that +12 figure makes me wonder whether or not the reamp signal is at line level.

Sounds mix-cuttingly immediate and awesome, man! -
I will probably hook up my 5150 with some 2x12 or something at home with an attenuator
And then maybe try to profile it some day.
Is it possible to profile amps at low volume?
-
Of course!
For that feeling of power and push 'though, higher volumes enable you to capture progressively-more of it.
-
Yeah, I suppose... but with attenuator I can still push the power amp like mad and hold the real-world volume down, I guess...
I was thinking of a Rivera Rockcrusher, I've read much good about those, seems like "industry standard" stuff
