radley, you still confuse the kpa with a modeler or amp... the kpa is a profiler that captures a picture of a very specific recording/profiling using:
- player and his strength of playing
- his guitar with perhaps worn out strings and pickups with nickel caps and mahagony wood and and and
- cables
- amp with its settings and interaction with the used guitar and cable, and the player's all worn out ears
- cab with its volume
- room
if this someone profiles his dull sounding guitar through his rig while his ears are already quite... used..., and you use his profile with a rather harsh sounding guitar and have "young" ears, you won't like that profile because it has way too much treble (for your ears). that's the story behind the profiling of the kpa and it's pros and cons.

it's fascinating to see 90% of the forum users craving to be part of trial&error experiments, paying full price to bear the heavy cross of software development and all its bug annoyances that should be handled by the company before releasing the product. if this was a product of another kind... allday product like washing machine, car, laptop... you would not do that.
this is not to insult you at all. you choose to do that and i respect that in every way. it's just fascinating to see... and in a way good, too, because people stand together to make something work. i hope you stick to it so i can someday hopefully buy a flawless, working kpa -
That's what I use:

how is this done, daniel?

This reliability issues have to be sorted out. I don't even want to imagine a live situation with something like this.
i feel with you guys.

doc, please active your pm
did you buy a b-stock kpa?
-
i think you'd also need a 100% frfr micro to do the analyse job
-
still buy a kpa for: better ada, more control over fx and switching, profiling itself, reamping, digital recording, better handling, loops etc etc
amplitube is still selling computer programs and plug-ins although there's an app for the iphone/ipad.
i think it would be a great addition. -
When will there be one to play your profiles through your phone... anytime and anywhere???
-
you can also use the stereo fx from the g... the return of the kpa can be used stereo....

dammit!

this seems to be a problem only when switching to KING MODERN 4 by Peter Firscher. You get 1 second of digital artifacts when switching from XTCY5 to Modern 4 or so. Can anybody acknowledge that bug? Maybe it is just the presez Modern 4?
yes, i sent this phenomenon as a 'bug' to kemper early in january. it's only with that profile as i remember.

i encountered a louder hiss when connecting the kpa to a distorted amp. i guess the kpa somehow changes impedance or input level for the amp in. you probably receive radio with your guitar plugged into your amp anyway, but with the kpa in between it gets even louder.

am tc g-system brand marked... have to wait for the red limited and then the black modified

if you want your links to work you have to post them in a "www..." form, not "http..". if you use the latter, the forum will add an extra "/forum" into the link (when processing) which makes it useless.

Why would you measure latency with an Mbox? Those have inherent high latency as it is.
if you record both units with the same soundcard, the soundcard's latency doesn't matter as long as you compare the relative difference... but i agree that 6ms is a bit too much adding it to the boss unit's latency.

1. When I get the overload message I don't seem to be able to scroll back to the page where you set return level, so I use the Volume knob but have to do this once it starts profiling.
it should go back to the page with the return level... i think it did so on firmware 6911... but i'm not sure... just go into browse and back into profile mode again...

But the Kemper not only sounds great but she feels the best out of the many I've had
interesting

And here we have guitarists discussing latencies of between 2ms and 5ms.
playing in latency with other musicians and playing in latency with your own instrument are separate topics. the right comparison would be: give a player genetically enhanced superlong arms and let him play his instrument several feet away from his ears... funny image but that's a comparable case. violinists are perhaps 3 feet away from their neighbor, but their instrument is super responsive since it is a) half a feet away from the player's ears and b) in direct contact to his body.
playing guitar means: direct contact with your body (although not as direct als violins) and hearing the (much louder) sound several milliseconds after the body feels it. this is quite a mess...sensualwise.
