Why do you put boost on post instead of pre?
Boost in Post Effects would turn up the volume of the Rig without changing the Gain. ( Morphing the Rig Volume would do this, too)
As an aside - I almost always use the volume knob on my guitar to add gain for solos, and let the FOH sound engineer adjust as needed. There is one song that we do that I use Morph to turn up the Rig Volume and Delay Mix, without adding gain. But, it is a squeaky clean '80s drenched in Chorus sound.

The work completely differently pre/post. Pre pushes the amp, while post just makes it louder.
I second the wish for more effect slots (and I bet this has been requested several times).
I think they could be “ghost slots” for always on effects. In my case it’s an fx loop that always takes away space in the front. Then a tremolo and two drives and I’m out of space although I’d love to add boosters, compressors and so on…
Maybe they could do some combo effects like delay/verb for one slot? Like an EarthQuaker Avalanche or something.
I take a different view.
If we assume that the processing power of the KPA isn’t infinite then at some point there will be a limit to how many FX can be run simultaneously. I have no idea how close we are to that already but given that the KPA is a decade old it “might” not be viable to add many more FX slots. Even if it is I still can’t imagine a situation where I would ever need more than 8 FX on the same rig.
HOWEVER, i have often wished that I could have more slots EITHER before or AFTER the stack.
Therefore, I think the problem could be easily solved within the exist system by simply allowing users to select where they want an effect placed in the signal path instead of having fixed routing. That way I could have 2 fx before and 6 after on one rig but 7 before and 1 after on another etc
