The hardware setup is simple.
# Connect the Kemper's Direct Out/Send output to the input of your real rig, such as your first pedal in the pedalboard, or your amp's guitar input. If you have a noise gate, it should be disabled - you may want to simply remove it from your signal chain.

Before beginning the profiling process, it's wise to select a rig that is as similar as possible to the rig you are profiling. You will often have the same stomp and post effects as you want in the new rig, and some of the tags may match as well, not requiring to be altered in the new profile. This doesn't affect the result of the profiling process, but can save you time finalizing the rig.

Here's a list of the different kinds of profiles you create:
* '''Studio''' - a set of amp and cab profiles created using the traditional profiling process

OS 3.0 introduced '''merging''', which is designed to more faithfully isolate the amp and cab profiles' respective impact on the tone. This means swapping cab profiles on merged profiles sounds more realistic; however, its design is really to accommodate running a real guitar cab off the cab profile while simultaneously sending the amp + cab profile to a PA or DAW. Merging will guarantee the PA sound and live sound are as close as possible.

'''Do not overlook tagging, especially if you plan to share your profiles with others.''' This is how you fully document what you have profiled. It also allows much easier searching for profiles via Rig Manager, which looks at ''all'' the available tags in addition to the rig name.
