Mute Kemper On Power Down

To mute all outputs should be among the first operations in the automated shutdown-procedure for any audio-gear.

In case of the KPA it's not. Meant as a feature, in case you want to switch to tuner mode and go too far, the KPA doesn't power down, but waits a couple of seconds during which you can go bak to tuner browse or performance mode.

Sure, but that is just about delaying the shutdown procedure a bit. Once shutdown really starts there is no way back and all outputs should get muted at that point.

But that's not the case. Switch to TUNER. Switch to POWER_OFF position. The "Shutting down" message appears with the status bar progressing....

When the status bar is not complete you can still come back to TUNER and BROWSER.

When the status bar is completed and you see pale green LCD screen and you quickly turn the knob right, Kemper starts booting up, even though it was not shut off.

You can't remember to roll the guitar's volume off when you remove it after a set? That's a REALLY SIMPLE solution.

Turning guitar volume down won't help much if you're on the high gain rig.

I've had a pieces of gear that when they shut down they put out a little pop. The first one was the DBX DriveRack I had to turn of the speakers first to protect them and also my Allen and Heath qu-16 gives a pop when I turn it off. So I'm not sure why manufactures don't do something to prevent this pop when shutting down ?

Agreed and it's perfectly doable. My 1990 Zoom MRS 1608 does it, and it was a pleasure reading its good-bye message on screen while the unit shot down in absolute silence.

This thread mentions how I deal with ending a show and turning off the kemper
Kemper shutdown: avoid loud cracks when using speaker output

Also, on my Powerhead, my speaker thumps when the internal amp switches on or off. These spikes are not good for PA speakers, I've blown woofers and tweeters before by plugging in a DI to a console with phantom Power on, for example. My workaround is to unplug the cable first before powering off, then, when powering up, plugging in when I hear the relays click.

Same here!

With my tube amps I was used to engage the standby button and then shut down after few seconds. With the Kemper the only possibility at rehearsal is turning down the master volume and then only shut down.

It would be great to avoid turning down master volume in order to avoid pops seems a little bit odd to me, also because I need to remember how it was set the last time.

So 1+ on this one.

I just pull the speaker cord out before shutting down or something powering on

+1 for this feature

As far as I remember, it was stated by one of the Kemper MODs that this will be solved with the next Version.
