So, what is the difference between the profiles that the Kemper uses
and the impulse response samples used in convolution reverbs?


In addition to capturing the IR, a profile also captures the
nonlinear behavior of an amp by analyzing a series of tones that
the Kemper sends into it.


Hopefully with the user making a huge number of changes to the input
gain, tone, and master gains of that amp .


Unless it's just a few specific sounds of that amp being modeled ...


A profile is basically a snapshot of an amp at whatever settings the
amp is profiled at. There are tone controls, however they don't
conform to the sound of the original amp beyond a very limited
range. For that reason, users often create multiple profiles of
an amp at various settings.
