Hi there,
first profile, Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III in my home flat, so neighbours might complain, since wow, profiling is so loud:/ i even thought it may destroy my amp?
i have the Fender for my Telecaster, crunchy Indie (rock) sound, nice and warm twang distortion. I am profiling without any pedals in front.
Issues:
- I use a Shure SM7B (which might have not the highest output level?) and let the "Return Level" during profiling at 0db. ist that fine? how shall I set it? i go straight in my studio monitor speakers, which wont tell me that much about how good the sound is, do they?
- the "gain" LEDs on the Kemper are already around 40% when I go to the first profiling screen. shall I leave it like it is or set to 0?
- how shall I position my Shure Sm7B and shall I leave it flat or low cut/pres boost it? i know, it depends on the taste, but anyway...crunchy sound, bit bass is always fine i think.
so in total, here the big issues:
- can i break my amp with profiling? these test signals are really loud, especially that last "bass-signal". Should i always use the "clean-test-signals" then to have it not as loud?
- what shall I do with that return level, leave it at 0?
- on stage i play my fender about level 2,5/10, that is very loud, but nice distorted. in my flat i could only do 2-2,2 due to loudness...which makes a big difference in sound, but otherwise, test signals might be too loud.
- also, while profiling, shall i set "no cabinet"? my fender is obviously a Combo Amp, so no cabinet, right? or do I misunderstand the quastion?
thanks guys for any help!!

p.s.: by the way i found no instructions on profiling in the manual book.
