I love my Kemper, but I think it's compressing bass frequencies. I noticed it a bit for guitar, but now that I've profiled my Ampeg SVT VR I can hear the differences more pronounced;

Don't get me wrong, it's 90% there, and that's amazing. But...I'm wondering if anyone else hears this. Could be user error on my part during profiling.
edit:
did you reamp these two exsamples?
hey,
sounds like it could use more refinement to me.
the difference I hear in this exsample is in the 50Hz-120Hz region and can be addressed with a little eq:
the refining feature is quite powerful and can be used repeatedly, not just once.
If you choose to re-refine, all the information you already put in isn't lost - it is being accumulated. This allows you to really zero in on the details.
We assume of course that the signal chain was identical, no mic movements?
No reamping. Same mic position, amp settings, etc.
I refined for about a minute, but like most of you, I have no idea what to play or how to play it to get a better refinement.
The manual says to play chords but how do you refine with the bass?
Minute is not nearly enough, it usually takes me about 5 minutes to get it 95-98% accurate with guitar amps.
I normally strum chords, play single runs thruout the neck, do two string bends, and play some riffs repeatedly still it starts to sound close.
Hardest part is miking the cab reasonably..
I tried refining longer. I noticed that if I play harder on the bass during refinement, the profile responds harder as well. If I profile softer, the profile ends up with a softer attack too.
Still haven't been able to get the low end quite right. Still a little compressed to my ears.
Do anyone else's profiles do this, or is it just me?
