Bad News:

Going back to 1.04 - still the same. System Reset on 1.04 - still the same. WTF?

Please contact support ASAP.
Maybe try 1.0.2?

I'll give 1.02 a try and contact the support. What about you Schneidas? Did you solve it or still no KPA near you? Anybody else?

Still not with my KPA. Will try a reset tonight

that makes no sense - a software update won't change firmware or hardware. Maybe something else going on?

I am still at delivery code (because I only received mine on Thursday) so I'l going to go for 1.04 which seems the safest option. Is that right?

I have been pretty scientific about this so my ears are not playing tricks on me and always recorded into pro tools after every step i took. And going back to the old software didn't change that...go figure

Hi,
Only had my KPA a couple of days and I experience the same problem.
Have only done one upgrade and it is to version 1.0.4.

Done some testing:
Setup: Guitar -> KPA -> Headphones (in KPA), nothing else.

Hope I made "system reset ..." the right way.
Turn of KPA - press and hold "system" -Turn on KPA.
1. Test with a rig I profiled myself inkluding some stomps and effects in KPA.
- load rig
- Turn of KPA
- Turn on KPA and listen to the sound
- Browse to the same rig and load it and the sound is different.
2. Test with same rig but turn of stomps and effects in KPA and save as a new rig.
- load rig
- Turn of KPA
- Turn on KPA and listen to the sound
- Browse to the same rig and load it and the sound is different.
3. Test with same rig but turn of stomps, effects and STACK in KPA and save as a new rig.
- load rig
- Turn of KPA
- Turn on KPA and listen to the sound
- Browse to the same rig and load it and this time I can´t tell if the sound is different.
So maybe the problem is in the "Stack module" ?
According to my taste the sound is better after turn on KPA and don´t reload the rig.

Conclusion.

Setup in Studio:
Load the rig you want to record - turn of KPA - turn on KPA - newer change rig
Maybe a solution but not so practical ???

exactly - it doesn't add up. Are you sure that any changes you made to EQ as a result of 1.04 (ie reduce mids, push highs) haven't been continued into this release - eg 1.04 is rich in the mids so you reduce those - then 1.05 reverts to pre 1.04 settings and you are only just noticing?

Ok: did a system reset. Nothing changed.
Went back to 1.0.4 (release) - same behavior now!!!!!!!!! You load up the rig. It sounds ok. You switch forth and back - it gets treblier and thinner. WTF??????????????????????????????????? Did I not notice this back then, or did upgrading to 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 seriously screw the unit? Like a virus or something?!?!?!
Will try 1.0.2 next

English is good enough Bjorn...

OK - I'll do the test as I have a Kemper with original factory software 1.0xx and will let you know if it's there from box fresh
