Anyone really uses "Parallel Path" for bass here?
I had tried and I think that with my profile it cuts the low end even if I use the mix...
Is this right?

I did some experiments with the parallel path. Some profiles can sound better with it (try with the mix parameter) but for some other profiles its quite the opposite.
I think it really depends on the amp/profiles. -
"Parallel path" allows you to mix the direct signal with the processed signal. The profile alters the frequency response (as much as a real amp would, or cabinet for that matter). In order to get the low end through, you need to get the mix right. It's pretty much as having the direct signal of your bass on one fader and the mic'ed amp on another.

I did some test as well and I agree with @endrwenigr it's working for some profiles and doesn't for others... Anyway, you should put a compressor/EQ on the dry slots for better balance.
If anyone has some tricks to have good results, let us know, blender is a must have for bass players who use drive and the Kemper at this time is not perfect for that.

I use it on every fuzzy/hard OD/distortion profile. I apply eq on both chains and then mix to taste. Dry signal to get the bottom end and a good attack, LPF and HPF on distorted path
