Hehe, FAS status without the negatives... 
I for one think it's great that the KPA has always been available in huge numbers w/o waiting list.
And I have no doubt it will stay this way also with the racked ones.

When I record with SPDIF I use a combo monitor amp at the same time when I want easy feedback.
It doesn't have to be insanely loud but the interaction PU's to speaker is much more natural this way. -
-
AFAIK there's no info available yet.
But I think it would be in Kemper's best interest to enable local service centers to do the retrofitting, with a minimum turnaround time. -
Hehe, good catch....
-
Interesting.
In the end you did some kind of hybrid, mixing the clean amp with the DNA of something more dirty.
There's so many possible flavours with the KPA, all sounding great. -
Yes, voting with wallets is a common thing.
Buying and consuming responsibly as well.
It can make the world a better place in the long run.
Phew, it geht's really OT here....

The Kemper approach to cabs is totally different from IR's and sounds much better.
The cabloader is just a service for people who like to experiment.
I haven't done this myself yet, but most people Report that they don't care much for IR's after being spoiled by original KPA profiles/cabs. -
....perfect solution would be a rackmounting kit for the Toaster from which you could remove it really fast without unscrewing etc. Something you slip it in sort of.... That would mean: On Tour: Rack. Home and Studio: Toaster.
Whoa, I love this idea!!!
That would be REALLY smart.

Great sounding!

Just to get it straight: I don't believe that retrofitting the KPA with the amp for people in the U.S. means sending the unit to Germany.
There's an U.S. service center that should be able to do this.And when this gets rolling I imagine the turnaround will be only days.

Hmm I dunno.
I still have the feeling that the manual doesn't get enough love by many fully grown male individuals...
The example list above gives me a feeling of redundancy...My sentiments.

In the age of the interwebz news isn't really news....
.... If you're offline for 2 days -
Confirmed.
You can do this for a while, don't know exactly since when.My Focusrite Saffire 24 carries the dry SPDIF signal on channel 5, wet is 6.
Look up the manual of your Audio interface. -
+1.
The KPA is unrivaled.Thanks also to Will and all the others 'voices of reason' in the "other" thread...
-
Still going?
.
Yes, unfortunately. I woke up and found another two pages.
Outcome still unclear but the voices of reason (CK of course, but also Will Chen, thanks mate) are getting stronger.
Same time the naysayers are getting more 'furious'.Well, no more popcorn, please.
I'm full.

Pick, the thing is that the Mustang is not meant to reproduce your signal neutrally, and, like any guitar speaker, it doesn't sound too good with cab sim on.
But to me shootout showed that what you get with a guitar speaker with monitor out + cab off is as equally as good as with a FRFR solution with cab sim on.
And still you get the differences of using different cabs in the KPA, that's the genius of cabdriver.Therefore I don't consider this unfair but revealing.
Remember the cabdriver feature was brand new then.For my personal taste and also the guys in my band the Camper was a bit too muffled in the top end and I preferred the Atomic.
But my ultimate consequence of the shootout was this: sell the Atomic and use the Mustang.
Since the implementation of cabdriver I don't consider FRFR mandatory any longer and I encouraged anybody to strongly consider it instead of FRFR.

Isn't it the purpose of making cabs like the Camper 112 and 212?
Camper 112 and 212 don't use guitar speaker but non- colouring broadband speakers, only that they are not full range.
It's true though that they bear more similarity to guitar speakers (in that the top end is not so pronounced). This was clearly revealed during the shootout I did a while ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NFGzxD3OJI -
I'm more looking fo flat response speakers (I changed the thread name accordingly) which would sound more like a real guitar cab but with cab sim on.
That's a contradiction.
Any guitar speaker will always colour and no flat response speaker sounds like a typical guitar cab. -
Difficult question on one hand, but easy on the other.
There are already thousands of very good profiles available, free ones and commercial ones, and even profiles that don't appeal to me instantly can be tweaked to really awesome results when you change cabs etc.
Therefore, in order to not get lost in the rabbit hole forever, I demand the following for a profile:It doesn't matter if it is hyped in the forums till the cows come home:
1. If it doesn't attract me the first 20 secs of playing it I will ditch it, delete it and move on. Im very restrictive with myself here.
2. If it attracts me I will put it aside, play with EQ, compression and other deper parameter to get a feeling for this profile.
3. Eventually it becomes a favourite.
4. Forget about a 'potentially better profile'.
While it may be possible that it it exists I have learned that with the KPA I can forget about the search for a holy grail profile and simply play because it sounds that good. THIS was never the case with all the modellers I have used before the KPA.
