KPA out for delivery :)
I'm wondering what should be the first things I do once I have it.
1) jump up & down with excitement
2) ensure it has the latest and greatest firmware which is 1.0.3?
3) get myself some sort of USB stick ( 5 gigs should be enough?)
4) put the usb stick in the KPA and have it format it?
5) download a bunch of profiles from you guys and put them in there? I don't know how to do any of this yet
6) Wonder if I should first plug it into my Adam's A7X's before I connect it to my poweramp/cab?
Ultimately I will be using it with my poweramp and cab but don't know how to connect it.
Can I get some pointers from you?
Thank you

1) Legit, watch at your knees 
2) Yes, but first go to point 3 and 4, then put the kaos.bin file in the OS Update folder on the USB Stick
3) 5 Gb is about enough for 1.2 Million profiles....
4) yep
5) up to you, dead easy: copy the profiles (.kipr files. do not download them with IE: it changes the extension to .mid) in to the Shared/Rigs folder on the USB, stick it in to the KPA, go to "external storage/import - export/ import, confirm with "ok" when finish and wait for the reboot
6) you can do both: main outs to the A7 and monitor out to the power amp/cab, just disable the cab section going to the Master menu (push master once) and check the "monitor cab. off" case on the second page.
Enjoy!!

Thank you
Does it sound terrible when combining the profiled cab with the real cab?
Can you leave the usb memory stick in the KPA or take it out and lose it? LOL
So the monitor out is mono... it goes to my PA then to 4x12. But there are effects that are in stereo. UGH! I have (2) 4x12's OR (2) 1x12's ... must I connect the monitor OUT to my mixer----> to stereo PA---> (speakers? Wonder if this needs to be done or just go with a simple mono to 4x12 setup.

Monitor out sums in mono.
'till you don't take the KPA around you can leave the usb plugged, I would unplug it for transport in order to avoid the risk of damage.

1- Not a bad idea (I did it as well), even only to have a backup copy of the factory presets
2- You can use an old one but it will erease all data and after formatting you have to use it only for that.
3- The KPA does all, if you have problems, tell me
4- Serial number is written (Very small!!) un a barcode label underneath the unit, FW version numbers appear on the upper right corner of the display during booting
5- the list is only referring to the amp profiles, there are several profiles x amp and several different rigs maded with. In order to delete one, turn the "browse" knob once, push delete and confirm
6- Good choice and yes on tylers cabs, The AFD100 is also killer if you are loocking at those kind of sounds
7- Perfect
8- yep, please report back, spdif is a hot argument here.
9- Good plan, you need to place a loop in "A" in order to do that
10- To do that do not forget to disable the cab on the monitor out (Master menu, 2nd page)
Have fun and let us know how you like it!

OH MAN!!! All I can say at the moment is OMG is this thing GREAT!!! I first hooked it up like you said with the Monitor OUT to my power amp and cabinet and it didn't work. So I thought "well what if I just go out from the main OUT into my power amp" IT WORKED. And it sounds AWESOMELY!!! AND!! its probably the wrong way I should hook it up?? LOL. Can't even fathom it sounding any better.
Cliff has done an excellent job with guitar modelling but I am definately upgrading from "Cliffville" to "Christopheville"!!!
