But hello Kemper Profiler Rack Unit!
Yep, I decided to trade my amp head version for the rack unit. Looking forward to start using this live in the near future. I did use the head version a few times but was always worried it'll end up getting wrecked, as it's quite light and it was always a worry one stray headstock could fling it across the stage.
The trade off is you lose the bottom row of LED's and the modulation knobs, however I feel it's worth it in terms of road readiness.
Planning to use it direct to FOH with a 44 Magnum (courtesy of
@guitarfishbay) to run an un-mic'd cab purely for feedback/feel etc.

I think the rack form makes more practical sense personally, looks cool too! Congrats.
Once you've had rack, you never go back. :P
I know what you mean with the plastic knobs though @RaymondLin, they aren't the best compared to the rest of the unit.
There are some good ones available for free on the rig exchange, but there are some pretty ropey ones as well. I found some nice ones of a Victoria 20112 the other day. You can rate them on the Rig Exchange and sort/filter to find the highly rated ones.
There are some good profiles available in the on board factory presets as well, but on the whole the ones from The Amp Factory seem to be better. The Michael Britt ones have a very good reputation as well.
