Weird Phasing Sound with my Profiles.

I have used a Kemper for years but just recently started profiling amps. I went to England for the final Sabbath show. I know. I am lucky as hell and it was everything my little black heavy metal heart could ever want. Anyway, while I was there I decided to be even more financially irresponsible and buy an amplifier while in the UK. I mean, come on... I cant go to England and NOT get a kickass tube amp. THE BRITS MAKE AMAZING AMPS. HOW AM I NOT GOING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT??!?!?!?!

I digress. I landed on a Victory Kraken MKII and man I love it. I dialed that SOB in and she sounds absolutely KILLER. However, I dont want to take her out to the bars and get her ruined or worse stolen. She represents a once in a lifetime experience for me. Besides, I LOVE my Kempers and thats what they are made for. ROAD TONE.

I finally got around to profiling the Kraken today and my experience was frustrating. I got the Kemper Profiler DI box so I could capture the head only. Hooked it up. Did the thing, followed the on screen prompts and BOOM. Sounded IDENTICAL. Then I went to refine it. Played chords just as instructed and the profile just got worse and worse. I thought "No biggie. I'll just do it again."

Tried again. Kept getting a message that said there was a noise gate somewhere in the signal chain. Nope there isnt. Then realized the input volume was low. Turned it back to 0.0db. Tried again. Now I get this weird phaser sound. Don't get me wrong I love EVH as much as the next guy but thats not my thing. Tried profiling a few times and I dont wanna piss off the neighbors with weird noises at 120db by continuing to try the same thing over and over. What am I doing wrong????
