In the below article are lot of relevant comments from the actual manufacturers of amps, modellers & Kemper on status of analog amps, their sales and digital:

For example this from Marshall rep:
Mike Cahill (Marshall): "I don’t think that guitarists using technology to find new ways to perform means the end of the stack, any more than the synthesiser was the end of rock ’n’ roll, or television meant the end of cinema.

"In fact, one could argue that guitarists could have it both ways. With the advent of profiling, semi-pro and pro players can, of course, take all of their amp sounds on the road in electronic form and still crank it on stage - a profiled sound smashing it out of a wall of Marshall stacks? Why the hell not? There are Marshall artists who are already doing this: Matt Bellamy, for example."

Now, I wonder about these little 1x12s seen in the clips.

CK makes few quick comments about the speakers at about 2:15 in this clip

Found a few comments about the use of Kemper on Shania Twain tour for those who are interested:

Came across this article:

which was an interesting read...

Yes, definitely would like to have this and apparently it's on Kemper's list to implement. See this thread from way back and post nr 2 by CK. But I bet it's a long list considering the timespan...

The link below link has some tips from M.Wagener:

It's been on Kempers to-do list for a while...

Here's a studio legend with Kemper. At about 5 minutes some comments on the machine itself.
PJ with KPA

That's a catchy and recognizable riff

Not really familiar with the band myself, but beginning at 2:30 there's a section on KPA for those who are interested.

Yes the "talent" parameter! - make it so CK!

Oh but that's already there, check my avatar...

On the very bottom of the Kemper home page it still says in small print "UNDO will be included with a future software version."
So apparently it's still in the works...

Here's a fresh two part interview with CK I came across (unfortunately in german). There's some insight into the origins of Virus and KPA + also word or two about the future of KPA.

The tones on Stalingrad are killer. What was your amp setup?

"Here’s a little-known secret: I recorded the whole album with a Kemper Profiling Amplifier [which provides a range of emulations and lets players create a sonic profile of their own amp]. I came across it a year ago, and when we started working on the album, we really put it to the test. We had my regular setup, and we fed everything into the Kemper. We A/B’d the sounds, and they were identical. It’s the same sound, just coming out of a different box.

So I used my handful of old Marshall, Randall and EVH amps, along with my main Wizard amp, and we fed them all into the Kemper amp. Then we used the Kemper to fire them back. When Stalingrad first came out, I didn’t tell anyone that I used a Kemper, because you know how people are. They’d be like, “Oh, I can hear that it’s not a real Marshall.” But now that the album is out and people like the tone, I’m telling everyone about the Kemper. "

Quote from Guitartone

I think working on ones vibrato is far more beneficial than spending time taking latency measurements.

OT: The player below (Ben Granfelt) is certainly one of my favorites as far as vibrato goes. Highly worth checking out!

I wonder if he measured the latency on stage...

This has been on the team Kempers to-do-list for quite some time (post 2 by CK in below thread)...
