Awaiting the unknown!

Hi,

New here. I am waiting my Kemper as I type this and excited to
Play with this new toy!

I am interested in hearing from users what your experiences are? Good and bad.
Also, It was between buying this and a Mesa Mark 5.
So, I hope I made the right choice.
If there are any members that have some of these and Mark one profiles that would be great.
And maybe the Triaxis.
Please let me know.
I am a big fan of Ian Bairnson mostly on guitar along with some others.
Les Paul and PRS Is where I tend to lean vs Fender and such.
Really love those fat sweet woody tones with some pick in there.
Anyway, Any input is welcome. And thanks for having me here!

welcome, I'm sure you'll be happy with it once it arrives. there are alot of mesa profiles uploaded by users and you'll find some among the factory-rigs too.

I would love to have an early Mark one set on profiles.

It's what put Mesa on the map!

okay,I'm on the fence

I received the unit and I am not overly thrilled with the layout.
I thought it would be a little more user friendly?
What am I missing?
I noticed I only have 10 inch speaker cab models?
What's the deal here? I don't want to register it just to update it.
That would mean I coildn't return it.
The other option is the Mark 5 I was looking at.
I might go,that route. I just can't get around this thing very well for some reason.
And I've worked with menu based gear so,I'm not a rookey.

Anything I am missing?

Thanks

what is it that you find "not userfriendly"? go ahead and register, you can still return it. about the cabs; you need to save the cab from a rig first. press and hold the cab-button, click store and choose cab only, give it a name. then you find it among the other cabs when browsing. you should also download the Tills cabs-package, loads of great marshall and mesa cabs. put'em on a usb-stick and import them, it's easy, check the manual.

It looks like I need to get a memory stick. The operating system
Seems dated. It states initial version. Will the most updated fix these problems?
When I saved my settings for patch changes,when I power down and
Turn back on the midi changes on midi # 1 keeps going back to
Midi #93?
A couple of times I had audio completely cut out and I had to
Restart to get it back.
I was really hoping on trying this live this weekend just 4 patches.

I have the manual but, it's not really useful,when the hardware doesn't
Completely support it. My unit says that the perform mode isn't supported for instance. :?:

yes you need a usb-stick, an old 1Gb will do. put it in the back and let the kpa format it for you. dl 1.06beta and put it in the osupdate folder on the stick. I don't have any midiproblems in 1.06 . the perform mode is not implemented yet.
