And if you're a total 'Strat Purist', simply use a balanced set of Bill Lawrence (zero hum) Strat PUs for a brighter neck & bridge PU response...

Although I would take out some of the pricklies from your statements, I do generally agree that updating the "containment vessel" would be greatly appreciated and (in some places that you point out) very much needed.

Please explain specifically about the 'pricklies' you refer to - don't be vague, but spell them out clearly and I will respond with a likewise serious answer...

'I am talking about a 'support system' with very weak Noise reduction, Stomp ODs with unacceptable amounts of aliasing and noise, an unreliable OS, and totally unrealistic startup times for performing.'

Is the above quote what you object to? I honestly don't see anything inaccurate or 'prickly', but a rather honest assessment of the current 'package', with the current OS. There are also advertised features that remain nonexistent.

Again, I often feel that Kemper would do everyone a favor by selling/leasing their profiling system to a larger company with more support & financial clout who could expedite the process & bring amp profiling to the undeniable forefront of modern guitar sound...

Question.

When you shove a Fuzz pedal in front of a tube amp, and turn the Fuzz to 10, would the artifacts you hear be called "Analog sonic artifact aliasing" :D

This isn't constructive criticism or constructive advice, this is an insult to Kemper.

Why Lance? CK Kemper has made a great contribution to guitar sonics regardless if he is in sole control of the manufacturing process, no? His is the master creative aspect of envisioning the profiling process and bringing it into being no? How can his creativity/creation be demeaned? My comments are fueled by the rather slow process of updates, bug fixes, fulfilled features, etc... please don't tell me I'm the only one who has become concerned about this stuff.

It took Fractal six years to come up with Axe-FX11, OS6.
It's taken Line 6 fifteen years to come up with the HD series.
Boss can't even progress beyond COSM.

The KPA has been out for 4 months and in 4 months it's risen to the top of the rankings.
Almost every bug fix has been completed, one promised feature, the Performance mode is still to come.

What's there to be 'concerned' about?

Exactly how many times do you start up when performing a show? :D It's good to let even real tube amps warm up for at least 10 to 20 minutes you know. I can't see how 2 or 3 minutes for the Kemper to boot is killing show times. Plus Neil could use the extra pre-show setup time to get his hairpiece and pants snake perfect.

I believe they are quite fast fixing issues compared to most companies. In 4 months they have released 8 firmware versions with different improvements, additions and fixes (brought to their attention by users or not). Should Line 6 have sold their modelling technology to a bigger company when they released their first POD because it was not perfect and had its issues? I think they have done pretty well since then, don't you think? And I don't recall Line 6 (even today) releasing fixes and updates as often as Kemper.
