So I decided to do some profiling today, hooking up my Engl Savage to recreate a tone for an EP I recently tracked. I made a profile during the reamping sessions, but I found upon later playing that it wasn't accurate at all. I did enough note-taking to recreate it, and I ran into similar problems. Even though I know the Kemper has trouble with the Tube Screamer, I plugged my TS9 in anyway just to see if I could sneak it by. Multiple profiling attempts ended in having distinctly different profiles, to my disappointment. Even turning it off seemed to not help. Frustrated, I unplugged the TS9 totally, and got a profile that at the very least was similar enough to satisfy me.
Now, my question is, does the TS9 impact the Kemper even without being on? Does simply having it in the chain throw it off enough to result in bad profiling? I've had the worst luck with profiling for a while now, and this time was the first instance since I first got it that I made profiles that were satisfactory enough. (I was so frustrated I had thoughts of selling it, but I hung on simply because if guys like Sneap, Lasse, or the Exodus guys approve of the Kemper clearly the issue is with me).
