A quick Google search, various forums and Facebook groups, or searching the Rig Exchange can quickly turn up tons of profiles. My focus for this page is to help you more quickly find quality profiles, as well as making sure you don't miss some hidden gems.

While there are lots of great free profiles out there, many of the best profiles are created by professional vendors. These are mostly engineers or similar-type people who have access to studios or have built virtual studios in their homes. They'll know how to dial in an amp; pair it with the right pedals, cabs, and mics; position the cab correctly in the room; mic the cab nicely; and apply finishing touches such as some amp parameter tweaks and effects settings. They'll have resources that most normal players won't have access to, like more expensive microphones, treated rooms to mic the cab, isolated rooms to monitor the mic'ed signal vs. the cab's sound in the room, mic pre-amps, high-quality monitors, and a variety of high-quality guitars to test the profiles.
Most vendors will advertise in the Kemper forum, which has a [http://www.kemper-amps.com/forum/index.php/Board/19-Commercial-rigs-and-profiles/ dedicated sub-forum] for such. You can see which vendors are the most popular by how frequently their posts are bumped and from other users' posts. You can also check the [https://www.facebook.com/groups/363954780291903/ Kemper user group Facebook page].

The best place to keep up to date on free and commercial rig offerings is the [http://www.kemper-amps.com/forum/ Kemper forum]. Most Kemper users that post good profiles on the Rig Exchange will also create a thread about them in the Free Rigs and Profiles subforum to discuss the profiling setup in detail. Then there are some people that for one reason or another don't want to upload their rigs to the Rig Exchange but post Dropbox links in threads to rig packs. The Commercial Rigs and Profiles subforum is the prime place almost all vendors advertise their newest releases, as well as where consumers post reviews and discuss popular profile packs.
[[Kemper Amp Profile List|'''Kemper Amp Profile List''']] - This is a list of amps and popular profiles of said amps. {{top}} == The Rig Exchange =={{Crumbs|blue|3|Kemper KPA Finding Profiles#Commercial Vendors|Commercial Vendors|Kemper KPA Finding Profiles#Kemper Forum|Kemper Forum|Kemper KPA Finding Profiles#The Rig Exchange|Rig Exchange|Kemper KPA Finding Profiles#Notable Free Profiles|Notable Free}}You can also quickly peruse new profiles on the Rig Exchange by using [[Kemper KPA Rig Manager|Rig Manager]]. Just sort by date. Profiles on the Rig Exchange also have a community rating. It's not as reliable as Amazon ratings, but once any profile gets a number of votes, you can start to see stand-outs. You should also take advantage of Rig Manager's search feature to narrow down to amps, cabs, or your favorite profile authors.
Some profile authors did not want to upload their profiles to the Rig Exchange, so I hosted them on their behalf.
* [http://foobazaar.com/kemper/HAWP/ Tim Owen's HAWP (Have Amp, Will Profile) Sessions]
The number of HAWP (Have Amp Will Profile) sessions is quite large and can be confusing what the differences are between them. Where should you start? Note that the HAWP sessions were an attempt at a [http://www.kemper-amps.com/forum/index.php/Thread/17933-Have-amps-will-profile-the-BE100-Lets-make-some-profiles/?pageNo=1&s=dc5006f325be634c2677d46aa7c78a660abe55bf community-feedback project ] to find the absolute best settings/profiles of a particular amp. Many sessions are "tests" to compare some suggested change from a prior session, or to isolate changes in individual switches or parameters. Here's a breakdown of the sessions: ==== Tim Owen's Friedman HBE HAWP Breakdown ====
