KPA pet peeve of the day #2

    So, where are the new tone stacks that were scheduled for v3?


    I'll be honest: I don't like the current tone stack in the KPA. I think it behaves nothing like any of my real amps and preamps. Of course those are not placed *after* miking the amp as is the case with the profiler, but still.


    How about this: make the center frequency and slope for each control (bass, mid, treble, presence) adjustable so we can create our own.

    It'd be interesting for sure (don't know how much I'd use it myself, but still).


    But where did you see it was scheduled for v. 3 of the firmware?


    TBH the so called "tone stack library" was one of the very first features promised by mr CK himself, since august 2011.
    I never heard it would have been in FW 3 or 4, but I'm waiting is since FW 1 :D

    +1 Meanwhile, have you tried switching it pre-and post-amp and see if it makes any difference to you?


    Ahhh, well said my friend, almost forgot: I would *very* much like to have both :)


    IMHO switching the tonestack to pre doesn't do much good because then the high end sounds weird and there's no tweaking that will fix it - I'll have to add another EQ after the amp and that deviates from my habit of keeping things simple.


    @Michael_dk, I'd have to dig through more old posts than I'd like, but I'm pretty sure it was scheduled for v3 and for some reason didn't get released.

    I see :(


    PS: FWIW, I don't remember Kemper having given a release date for the tonestack collection ;)


    :)


    I remember that interview well - it assured me that this product I was about to buy was not going to be replaced by another model in a couple of years: "with our synthesizer line we have a 15 year tradition of free feature updates via the internet and we’re planning to create a similar legacy for our guitar amp." That quote, and the Golub Marshall video, sold me on it.

    I love the way pre-stack eq works.
    It helps to fine tune the profile in order to match the original distortion when the profiler doesn't get at 100%.
    BTW, I think that 20/30 tone stacks presets, plus movable frequencies for each band would be more than enough.
