Cabinet Impulse Responses

Cabinet presets are also commercially available from third party companies in the shape of so-called "impulse
responses" (IR). These can be converted into a proprietary format using the KEMPER Cab Maker software, available
for Mac and PC. The resulting files can then be imported to the PROFILER by using a USB memory stick. To find
such imported cabinet presets, first press the CABINET button, then use the BROWSE knob. OS versions from 5.5
onwards include 18 cabinet presets based on impulse responses provided by Celestion®*.
There is a tutorial video available which demonstrates the whole process of migrating an IR into a cabinet preset at:

An impulse response is the perfect companion of any Direct Amp PROFILE. While the latter is a perfect reproduction
of the full guitar amp, the cabinet IR is the perfect reproduction of a guitar cabinet. Combined, they are as authentic
as a Studio PROFILE.
We highly recommend that you select cabinet IRs that have been captured using a solid-state amp, rather than a
tube power amp. Since the interaction effects of amp and cab are reproduced by the Amp PROFILE, it is a good
idea not to have them reproduced in the Cabinet PROFILE a second time.

Merging Studio PROFILEs and Direct Amp PROFILEs

In case you were wondering, Direct Amp PROFILEs can be merged seamlessly with cabinets of Studio PROFILEs,
resulting in a single PROFILE that contains the sound of both. To do this, create a Direct Amp PROFILE (without
cabinet) and a Studio PROFILE (with cabinet and microphone) of the same reference amplifier and store them
separately. It's good practice to keep all settings of the reference amplifier the same for both PROFILEs, to yield as
