Kemper Amps Forum

Gentlemen... anyone experiencing this: please send your error reports! This is unacceptable!

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

See Bjorn's post above - it''s not to do with 1.05 or 1.06 - it happens in 1.04

Definitely more fizz and more scooped sound going on on the same profile after changing a rig and going back. Restart -> fine. Change rig and go back to the original rig -> not good. Doesn't matter what firmware I am using now. What's going on? Here's a short clip even on firmware 1.02.

The first is the sound after booting, the second after just switching to another rig and then back to the first.


I went all the way back from 1.06 and nothing changed after firmware downgrades.

BTW. The Rig I am testing this with is a "pure profile" of my 5150 which I made for touring with my band - my live rythm setting. I never touched the EQ or anything else in the Kemper on this rg. It's the rig like I profiled the amp, no stomp, no fx, nothing - so I am not getting what's wrong

You mean it was there on 1.0.4 beta and I never noticed this before?????
That actually can be, as I was in the middle of a move in 1.0.4. and always played this one rig back then. So I didn't switch patches/rigs. That would explain why I didn't notice it.

It must have started with 1.05 I think. Even going back to 1.02 doesn't change it and I am 100% sure it wasn't there in 1.02 or 1.03. Something got screwed up with the new software update!

Thanks for your clip! I hear a definte change of the sound - exactly as with mine. Link your post to the error report for support please.
Also, let them know that downgrading from 1.0.6 to 1.0.2 doesn't help.
Seems like a virus - once infected - it returns in every firmware downgrade.


On a sidenote: anyone running a previous FW (let's say up to 1.0.3) who hasn't upgraded further can comment on this? How is your KPA behaving?

I've got a virgin K here - I'll test ASAP

Another Q - does it happen on stock profiles or just on user profiles? What about on DI profiles?

I never updated to 1.05, I went straight from 1.04 to 1.06...no problems here.

One noticeable change between 1.04 and 1.06, there seems to be a difference in master volume, I set my MV a little higher than I did using 1.04.

So, as you can imagine, I'm not understanding this thread at all.

I just reported it to support with link to my post in the forum. I hope they fix it ASAP

You just got your KPA and updated to 1.06...correct?
Or you haven't updated firmware at all?
You shouldn't be experiencing anything these guys are talking about.
