I have deleted the Bogner and the AC4TV profile from my KPA. When I try to delete "4W On Fire!" the unit freezes.

I have that problem when deleting rigs too sometimes. But the unit is not freezing. It just isn't displaying the "are you sure?" box. If you press Exit or Softbutton2 (it's the Yes) then everything will work again

Yep, noticed that as well. It mainly happens if you have the autoload engaged

Autoload is NOT engaged and for sure it was frozen. Of course I have tried the exit button (and others). Even the chickenhead could not switch the KPA off.

But meanwhile I could delete the 4W On Fire with the second try without any problem

this is a major "viral threat" for the KPA... just edit the name of a profile and bring down all the KPAs that load this one. Kemper should make this safe... and in any case bring up an easy solution for user-friendly total restore of the KPA.

be sure to make a backup before importing new files in the future then...

I think we need an official response for this!

the *.kipr files the KPA stores all information about a rig in are not intended to be edited with a hex or text editor. if you change a tag using the tag edit page you will not run into any sort of trouble. only tags which contain information about the *original* author of a profile etc. cannot be edited.
if you decide to modify a rig outside the box, all sorts of things can happen. all is save as long as you don't *hack* into the files. so please, refrain from editing outside the box. elsewhere some people mentioned that a checksum would prevent a file from causing problems. in general, this is true and we will think about it. if you have edited your rigs with an external editor, please don't offer those in order to prevent others from dealing with inconvenient situations.

This is quite absurd, now my KPA works. (or seem to work i can't play now but it boot perfectly, no error). Support says me today to ship back, anything else can't be done from here. So i reply that, as i had to ship, i will try a procedure i was suggesting them for a pair of day (suggested by a great forum use via PM to be honest). As i felt "guilty" because i changed a name in the file sharing suffering on the net (such a criminal act! )i really don't wanted to do anything of my head, i suggest but be still. Anyway when i read "ok you need to ship back", this is the time to try. 10 seconds and it boot! Solved.

The cause in my crash was the backup corrupted, and the backup was previous to my profiles, editing, and things like this. Even from support, they try my profiles and says there are nothing strange in it. So my idea is something was wrong on my software, when i backup this thing was captched and restoring the bug block the boot sequence. As i init my software, no profiles are in it, and if i put my backup i get same identical error. So the hex editing consequence seem has nothing to do with blocking restore. I will tell you if the strange boxing speaker come back... maybe now.

At the moment anyway i miss the bundle rigs, i have a global backup but i've not saved separate rigs. I've just all mine and yours... some of you got it?

N.B. I tried several times (now i have a reset and a "clean" Kemper") to put in and delete my Vox profiles, it never crashed. So maybe it was a coincidence...

i think there is a soft-button somewhere to bring back the kpa to factory setup. this should bring back the presets... i think.

Great news

It should not, they are not hardcoded.

Yep, give me 10 minutes
