For me nothing works either. Numerous System Resets and reinstalls of 1.06 and the sound still keeps changing after rig browsing. I really hope for them they fix it soon. I mean, this is a serious bug not some cosmetic one...

Did you contact them? If yes, what was their response? (probably same as mine)

I've just heard at the 2 clips you've sent me. The noise signal ratio is quite bad in both of them, there is a difference between the first and the second and is an eq thing, you can also hear the noise increase in the second due to the enhanced highs....but...in my opinion the right one is the second one. In the clip after boot the cab is boxy and the sound is over compressed, like it was happening with the old cab parameter bug, in the second one it has more presence and is more open. If there is a bug is that it doesn't load the rig properly after boot and you need to switch back and forth to get it to load properly. I assume that after the first change it doesn't change further if you repeat the operation (meaning is not linked to the rig change process itself) and that it happens only with the rig that was on by startup, it does not happen for any other rig. Right?

Of course the noise-to-signal ratio is bad. I have disabled the noisegate (because the noisegate still sucks), and this is a highgain rig. But you heard a difference - that's my point. I didn't experience the old cab parameter bug so I have no idea what that sounded like.

Yes, you assume correctly. After the first change, it does not change further. It stays super bright.

omg. bug fixing in software development --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lernaean_Hydra

Ok, I just experienced something else: on load up, the rig was all fucked up and super muddy, almost no highs, plenty of latency (I'm guessing much more than 5ms). Changing rigs changed nothing. Switched the KPA off and back on again - and all was fine.

WTF?????????????????

Ok, it might indeed be a prob how the KPA loads a rig. Something ain't right...

If you tweak the patch after the change to get it to sound as you want, save it and reboot, after the first change it should be ok...the turnaround could be not to use the patch as it is loaded by boot.
I still think that you feel it is superbright only because you hear the "muffled" version first, I'm convinced the second one is right....

Edit, in this case the bug is not a sound change but the kpa not loading properly the first rig at startup...

Well, all what we need is Hercules!

Well if it is, then my ears were seriously fucked up when I made the rig with 1.0.4.
I don't think this is possible, as I know it sounded great with 1.0.4 for weeks. And only after upgrading to 1.0.5 I thought - "WTF? Why is this not as great as I remember it to be?".
1 billion Chinese... err, I mean... at least 3 KPA guys with the same feeling can't be wrong now???

Anyway, I'm seriously tired of this shit...

You're obviously back on firmware 1.04 now, correct...or still on 1.06?
