As a point of interest, since there have been SOME people who have asked why only Kemper has profiling ability, it will interest at least those people to know that the patent that covers the Kemper Profiler expires on June 15, 2022, or so it appears based on the results of some patent searches I've done.
I will be curious to see how long it takes before competitors (and of course Fractal Audio being the first and best among them) to release their own version of the profiling function, if they even bother.
I will speculate that IF Fractal decides to do it, they'll do it with a system that is more thorough, comprehensive, and accurate than the Kemper system.
The Kemper system is pretty minimalist. It assumes certain tone stack values which may have nothing to do with reality. I'm not even attempting to look at it from any kind of a technical interpretation, but it seems to me that the Kemper starts with a pretty generic amplifier representation.
I'd guess that the Fractal approach to the same concept would have you adjust more controls while the Fractal unit doing the profiling (whatever it may be) listens to the effects of those controls, analyzes them, and generates a more accurate model of the amp's behavior than the Kemper units ever could.
I'd also guess that this would not be a feature that would be added to an existing Fractal product, but would instead be designed into a completely new product.
