I'm sure it's a ridiculously stupid question but why are all of the volume defaults for every profile I select up to about the 1 o clock position? I'd like all of them to be at a low enough volume that I don't blow the cab up when I forget to turn down the knob on the guitar before switching.
Default Rig Volume Pegged?

Use the Master Volume knob to Reduce the overall output volume of the KPA.

...and I thank you for the reply, but as soon as I switch to another profile, they're all topped out again. I'm obviously too tech challenged for this beast?!

I’m suggesting that the Rig Volume knob is not the one that you want to adjust.
Turn down the Master Volume knob instead - doing that will make the ouput volume of the KPA lower, and protect your speakers.

Maybe I'm not explaining myself adequately here. Starting from the beginning, I'll turn on the amp and play my favorite profile after having adjusted the rig volume. I'll switch profiles by either turning the browse knob, or simply pushing the advance button, and the next profile will be at top volume and blow my eardrums out because I forgot to turn down the knob on the guitar or something. There has to be some setting that allows me to adjust ALL of the different profiles to a much quieter volume?? Maybe we're saying the same thing and I'm too dim of a bulb to grasp what you're saying?

I think (and paults is trying to say) that you're using the wrong volume knob.
The Rig volume knob (the one that's simply labeled "volume") sets the volume for individual profiles (rigs). So what you're doing is only making the current profile quieter than all the others.
If you find that all profiles are too loud, you should use the Master volume knob to turn down the volume of your Kemper entirely.
PS. About the individual volumes saved with each profile: since your overall volume will be tamed with the Master volume knob anyway, in general it's good to leave the profile volumes somewhere around 12 o'clock. That way, it's easier to keep them all balanced: if a certain profile sounds too loud or quiet compared to the others, you have plenty of room for adjustment in both directions.
-
Yeah - that's the one. You should rarely touch the Volume knob except to level out the profile with the rest, then save. When you're playing, use the Master volume.

No, you are explaining yourself perfectly. But you are not reading.
Just look at the picture.

play my favorite profile after having adjusted the rig volume.
Or if you have a Rack?

Well I knew I wasn't going insane and figured out that by selecting the output button, the monitor output was in the off position which makes the master volume completely inert, and the rig volume became the main volume output. This is MUCH better now!!!
Now to delete a metric ton of these profiles off so I can do only a few and not have this paralysis by choice going on!
-
LOL, glad it's working for you now!

Use rig manager to get rid of the profiles on your Kemper.
It'll probably save you some time.
