Floyd Rose users considering the LOK-N-Roll nut;

I bought and returned mine because it just screamed ******** but I had to try it. Check out these ridiculous claims

Increased note clarity

Even tension across the fingerboard

Reduced hand and wrist fatigue

Faster playing

Piano-like pronounced chords

it doesn't work. it's snake oil. have an almost impossible to find Earvana floyd nut on my axe & it works like a charm. i ordered & tried the Lok-n-roll and all i can say is it does NOT work as advertised. i have been a floyd user for almost 40yrs & am an expert user. I don't know why Ernie Ball sued earvana so they had to stop making the nuts. But they still make regular nuts which I just don't understand. All I can tell you is caveat emptor.

YES PLEASE!!!!

sell the AX8 on the Fractal forum & then buy a Kemper Stage.

I had one of these motion sound Leslie type rotating speakers back in the day. I loved the sound of it and it had the variable speed Controls for the ramp up and down speed. And because it was mechanical it was brilliant it was just like playing a real Leslie. Here is a link to one.

the foot switch that came with It was fast slow and stationary

I'm hoping they can add the request is just a parameter added to the Rotary effect module

I would please like to have a parameter to adjust the ramp speed between the fast and slow switch. I know this is achieved on other unnamed units.

After picking up my KPA I got a Liquid Foot Jr+. I think the Liquid Foot Jr+ is the ultimate midi controller for the KPA. It's very small (3 lbs) has 8 buttons that are totally programmable to do anything you want and its got a 7 color LCD for each button which you can program to change color after you hit a switch to indicate that you've done something! The main LCD is huge for a controller of this size and it's fathom powered via a 7 pin midi cable and it has an editor for PC and MAC. This is huge IMO. Check out all the specs here. My reason for posting is this... I talked to Jeff at FAMC and he said if Kemper is down he can make all his products work seamlessly with the KPA. Meaning it will do all the loading and programming automatically! No to mention the tuner will show up on the main LCD!!! Please call Jeff at FAMC and make this happen.

Hi - first post here. My name is Marco and I'm in the UK. The forum has a great vibe to it

The KPA seems an amazing technical leap forward and has really whetted my appetite - I've been lurking around the forum for a while and although there are problems reported it seems they are steadily being ironed out

My issue is I'm not quite sure if it's the best route for someone like me who uses primarily clean or gritty sounds (like the stones for instance)
So think Fender, Vox, older Marshall tones. I have a Pro Reverb and an Egnater Tweaker and also a 70's Traynor combo that I'm restoring, plus access to an AC30 I'm currently only do recording work, although I'm being tempted back into gigging again

I sense a bias toward high gain amps, of which there seem to be thousands, and any complaints I've read of lack of realism seem to be aimed at the clean amp profiling - can the Kemper really capture the shimmer, jangle, punch and bell-like tones of the classic amps we all love. I have a sense that it is a lot more difficult to successfully profile the complexity and detail of these classic clean tones

Then when I think of cost, I could add an ac 30 and marshall combo and still be under the cost of a KPA and a good FRFR setup
Of course all the sounds would be in one small box, but is the convenience worth the compromise?

I see some people are selling all their old amps once getting the KPA, but I wonder how many of those are lovers of clean(ish) rather than high gain officianados?

I'm still waiting to be convinced...and would appreciate some balanced views

Thanks

i have to tell you, the kemper does the tones you mentioned better than any other solution i've played.
mark my words, the kemper is going to be all over the country & roots recordings & tours.

If the next update does not provide serious improvements in the KPA's Noise Reduction and Digital aliasing problems and overall usability, I will likely be selling my unit.

I will continue to keep tabs on it's development, in hopes it will ultimately become all that has been promised, but I have been seriously disappointed at the 'pace of progress' with the KPA in the last 6 months. There would seem to be a lack of urgency and effort for this product, and that concerns me both as a user and an investor.

CK, if the performance mode is no longer a "priority" can we ask what is the most "urgent" priorities for the unit?
from your website;
Yet to be finished:
- Performance Mode
- Undo/Redo
- Selective Browse (Soon it will be directly browse through all cabs of all rigs. We call it Selective Browse, and it will also be available for amp, eq, stomps and effects. It will look the same as browsing through the local presets). Those funktions will soon be available by firmware update.

could you at least give us some realistic expectations for the future of the unit? please.

Quote from ckemper

The Performance Mode is delayed due to shifted prioritiies.
Most of the functionality can be covered by midi prg chg assignments.
There is no other Product out there with Performance Mode, so we don't consider this to be the the most urgent feature.

I cannot remember to have announced an Editor.
