I had this exact problem a few years ago, and Customer Service was extremely helpful in diagnosing that I had some kind of noise that was making the profiler think it was a DI profile. Open a ticket, and they will get back to you. You will end up sending them a profile, and they will analyze it, and come back with a reason, along with some tips on what to look for in your signal chain.

This is a common complaint with any transpose pedal. The most common solution is to play louder to drown out the acoustic sound of your guitar. As far as headphones picking up the acoustic sound, make sure the cable is not hitting the guitar, that usually helps that issue.

Got a Firefly Bones in time for Halloween.

For many years I used a Digitech Drop pedal. It was on my board for many years. Just within the last 2 weeks, I bought a Boss XS-1 and I did an A/B comparison using a JHS Switchback pedal to switch between, and the Boss XS-1 won hands down. It replaced the Digitech Drop immediately after doing 2 tests, just to make sure my ears heard what I thought they heard the day before.

I don't own one, but I wonder if my fairly long journey with power amps might shed some light.
Originally, I started with a 44 Caliber pedal, and immediately noticed that as I turned the pedal up, it introduced more gain to the signal. Definitely not a clean power amp. I went through several different ones, and all had the same issue. I must have gone through about 6 or 7 different ones back then. The game changer was when I got the Seymour Duncan PowerStage 170. I vividly remember testing it on my back deck with a friend, and it was clean all the way through ear splitting sounds. I then plugged in a Friedman BE overdrive pedal in front of the SD, and it was amazing. I cranked the 170 at 4ohms all the way up, and my friend walked down the block. When he got to the next corner, he called me, and said it sounded like he was standing next to the cabinet. He walked 2 blocks down, and called me saying that it sounded like a festival was playing on the block.
I guess the takeaway is that if it's clean power, grab it. If it adds gain to your signal, I would pass.

I am using XLR outs, and have no noticed this issue.
For reinstalling, re-download the file (in case the original was corrupted in any way), place it on your Kemper USB drive, and insert it into the Kemper and it will ask you if you want to install it.

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS make a backup before deleting anything. Another option is to make a folder in Rig Manager, and copy all of your profiles into that folder. That way you have access to those profiles quickly without doing a restore.
-
From a developer perspective, I wonder if the delay is caused by the possible mess of splitting the codebase for the MK1 and MK2.

Also look into the EurekaPROM.

When looking for any artist's sound, check equipboard to see the actual gear they were using. Then find a profile of that amp. Add the appropriate pedlas to that sound, and you should be close.
-
The amount of a piece of gear affects your tone goes from:
Speaker - This is absolutely the most important piece of your chain.
Microphone/Mic Placement - This can change your sound drastically.
Amp - Actually doesn't have as much of an effect as you may think. Of course there are differences, but not as much as the above.
Amount of gain/compression - Adding gain passed a certain level usually adds compression to the signal.
pickup type - Different types of pickups have different characteristics. A humbucker will NEVER sound exactly like a single coil. Splitting the humbucker really only lowers the amount of signal.
pickup design - Different pickups have different outputs, as well as EQs
One of the most overlooked pieces that can make or break your tone is an EQ. Placing an EQ pedal BEFORE the amp, changes your guitar's tone. Placing the EQ in the FX Loop, changes the amp tone. Placing an EQ after the microphone can change your entire tone.
I guess this is a long winded way of saying that for higher gain tones, the pickup isn't as important as the Speaker/Mic combination. If you're looking for a change of tone, start there.

I love it! It is instant Boston sound. If you were doing covers then all you would need is the Rockman and the Tap/Split pedal (for the modes) then a delay pedal. Send to FOH and you are done!
The sound is awesome and the best part is you don't have to sound like Tom Scholz if you don't want to. I've heard from others that it is a noisy pedal but I have not found that to be true.
Also the instant Def Leppard Hysteria sound.
I also bought one, originally thought that it was just a nostalgia purchase since I had the original so many years ago. But, I learned that I'm really loving the cleans. They are really spectacular. The funny part is that I don't think I EVER used the cleans on the original Rockman.
Use the edge or dist channel, and just start playing a C# riff. Instant "Pour Some Sugar on Me". Use the cleans, and it's instant Hysteria. It really has me considering recording Gods of War with it.
Just a fantastic pedal, much more than nostalgia.

I've done a few tests a few years back, and didn't really hear much of a difference, if any, either. On the other hand, there is something to be said about how an amp/speaker combination interacts with each other. So, the theory is there for having a speaker in the chain. Maybe we'll hear more differences when the new profiling comes out.
BTW, paragraphs are a thing

FYI, there is effectively no looper mode other than how the Kemper Remote changes what its footswitches do and what the display shows.
With a midi controller, you can send looper commands at any time without changing into a looper mode.
Completely false. My FCB1010 with EurekaProm accessed looper mode fine.
-
Actually, I would also like a feature like this for another reason. I have my Delay and Reverb morphed where the toe down is off, and the heal down is 100%. If I have RM open, or even manual on the Kemper itself, when I change rigs, the morph defaults to full on. It means that I have to turn the delay and reverb off when traversing through rigs.

Make sure you are logged in to the Main site. Just because you are logged in here does not mean you are logged in there for RE.
Yes, I'm logged into the main site also.

Has anyone even tried to upload a profile lately?
-
Under Local Library, I have a bunch of folders for different purchased profile packs, and another folder that contains profiles that I created.
I also have a folder called New. That's where I store any profiles that I want to check out in the future. I go through that folder from time to time, and clean out that ones that I don't like, which is probably all but one or two. Those 1 or 2 then stay in that folder until the next time. If I like the profile the next time, it might make it onto my profiler.

I've been trying to upload a couple of profiles of my Friedman IR-J, and I check the checkbox to accept the terms, then I upload the profiles. It's been a while since I uploaded any profiles. Is there a button to start the upload process? The profiles seem to sit there, and they haven't shown in "My Rigs" either.
I'm using Chrome, and also checked in Edge with the same result. Makes sense since they're basically the same browser these days.
