Recommendations on profiles welcome or even simple tips on how to get started. Must do or must nots especially welcome!

Bax availability changed randomly after adding item to basket, also seemed way to cheap.
Also not very happy with sx pro where I first ordered it from. Four days from ordering they didn't even send me order confirmation, number or expected delivery date so I've lost confidence and cancelled.
Amended from the original post. Kemper PowerHead on order with remote.
Now I want:
An FRFR cab - preferably one that the PowerHead can sit on behind me;
An expression pedal (or two).
Recommendations welcome.

Also have two different expression pedals so it's easier to tell them apart in a hurry/panic/dark stage.

Simplicity needed. To the point I might go single channel.

It did full on lead sounds well but found little satisfying below that. Felt like I was using an ME-80 or something.

Of course they're not for everyone and there's tons of nice gear out there but in case it helps, here's my experience with Kempers:
1) Tried in a couple of guitar shops with headphones / monitors - meh
2) Tried in another shop through guitar cab - sounds even worse.
3) OK...maybe this thing just takes some fettling...so I bought one to try at home...nope, doesn't sound any better than my Eleven rack - sent it back and got a refund.
4) 6 months later I thought people says it's identical, there MUST be more to this thing...bought another one and spent some serious time finding the right profiles for me and setting it up with a guitar cab - Holy crap this is amazing!!!

More tips welcome. I'm going to pull it back out the box this morning to try the list of @Wazmeister tips.

I've had most success with Tone Hammer profiles for heavy stuff, not sure what you're into.
Regarding the headphones or FRFR tone, remember it's the sound of an amp in isolation mic'd up then fed back to you. It's pretty accurate to the source amp but if you don't have much experience with listening to mic'd up amps it can take a while for people to adjust.
