So I am going to grab a 2nd KPA for stereo amping (the one reason I still use Guitar Rig/plugins/etc. is for quick stereo amp composing/tracking). I'm just thinking of the best way to split the guitar signal to both KPAs - I was thinking about just plugging the guitar into one KPA, out the direct out and into the second. Will that introduce any latency at all to the 2nd unit? I obviously for phase reasons want to have the exact same dry guitar signal timing into both units. I know I could use a splitter pedal before the KPAs also but if I can avoid having to use a pedal just for that, I will. Any comments/thoughts/experiences?
Best way to run/connect 2 KPA's simultaneously...

FWIW I run the Kemper di out into a Mesa head with both amps going into a 4x12 with 2 inputs. It's an awesome sound with no latency issues that I noticed

Cool, thanks. If there is any latency it would be so minimal as to need to be tested via recording I imagine. -
... Let us know how it goes Fleck!

from the manual
"Git Analog
(Only available and default setting for the Direct Output).
The pure and clean instrument signal is sent to the Direct Output by an analog splitter, no AD/DA conversion is taking place. The analog signal level is the same as on the instrument input. Useful for reamping or running a second amp in parallel." -
Should be no additional latency at all then.
Phenomenal setup. -

I use two in parallel on tour. To keep the signal completely clean and have them operate independently, I send my guitar signal into a Lehle P-split, then left and right to the two Kempers. This has the added advantage, apart from discrete simultaneous signals, of having a phase reverse switch and a ground hum eliminator..If one falls over, the other keeps going - both running off a 1kva UPS.

Great! That looks like the way to go then. Just ordered my 2nd KPA today - looking forward to finally being able to do stereo amping!
