I'd vote for Yamaha HS-8's, if you want the low end without a subwoofer, the 8's deliver.

Thought I'd share an incredible deal on a brand new Gretsch G5620T-CB, for $450, with free shipping, and no tax. They usually go for $700-$850. This deal is only for the Georgia Green, model. Free shipping in the states says it'll take 7-10 days. The SKB-35 case is said to be a perfect fit.

Looking forward to plugging this in to the Kemper!

From reading different bits and pieces of how this particular song was recorded: it sounds like you'd need a Telecaster '58-'59, a Supro amp, and a Leslie for the solo. Then the desk that was used, the mic placement, etc.

You can build a similar profile yourself, if you know the components that were originally used.

You can also turn off the Power Amp, by pressing: Output>Page 7>Power Amp -uncheck.

If I'm not being trolled, or if anyone else stumbles on this thread and is curious about latency: Try using XLR cables instead of SPDIF, switch your DAW and interface to 96KHz, lower your sample rate until there are no more artifacts. This solved my laggy feeling input, which did bother me plenty.
I had POD 1.0 and 2.0, latency was terrible, around 40+ms from input to output. At 96KHz, and a Focusrite 6i6 gen1, I get 7.90ms latency, total. If I switch to 44.1KHz, I see a value of 30+ms.
The only thing I've ever had, even resembling a complaint about the Kemper, is no 96KHz output over SPDIF.
The sound and feel is worth it though, once you get it worked out.

Remember this thread, Sonic Explorer?
How to verify new factory sealed KPA?I hope you finally got it figured out.

Once you decide on the HS7 or HS8 at a local store, look for bundle deals on Amazon and Ebay, you can get free stands, isolation pads and cables, for the same price. Sweetwater may match deals found online too.
I bought my setup from Pitbull Audio on Ebay, but it looks like they don't include the isolation pads anymore, cables might not be right for your interface too, make sure to figure that all out first:

Yamaha HS8's are perfect in a smaller room, they adjust for the room, they also work really well with a DAW setup, for drum tracks and VST's. They get a great range of sound without having to be too loud, but can rattle the windows if you want them to.
For the home, I'd vote studio monitors.

I like anything that sounds like ZZ Top, nicely done. What guitar and profile are you using Mud?
-
I really like Native Instruments Komplete, but Arturia V, is on another level, it feels and looks exactly like the real keyboards it's emulating. Arturia is going to be my vote.

Hope it helps. Is there something wrong with the KPA?

Thanks guys. Do any of you happen to still have your KPA box? It would be greatly appreciated if somebody could check if the staples in the top are the same size as the ones in the bottom. Mine are two different lengths (bottom staples measure 1/8" longer when measured from the outside and the ends touch each other on the inside). The bottom looks like it may have been re-stapled.
Sincere thanks,
Sonic
My top staples are gone, but the bottom ones appear to be the same.

Found a pic I took when I received mine, hope it helps.
With a 2-year transferable warranty, it's hard to go wrong, even if it is used.

I was bothered by not being able to use 96KHz, over SPDIF, it would've been really convenient.
I then tried XLR at 96KHz, and it sounds incredible. Convenience is nice, but the sound the Kemper makes, is well worth it to me.
Try XLR's, before getting rid of the Kemper, if you can. Otherwise, good luck with the sale.
-
Can confirm, the copper color staples are cinched tight, not loose in any way.

Walnut Creek, reporting in. Looking forward to your review.

I have active pups in my Sterling Stingray SUB 4, the bubble tuner is rock solid for me. Are you using the strobe?

In order to make sure you get this solved, It would help us out, if you would state what is the desired outcome, or intended purpose of connecting your Kemper via MIDI, to Ableton. Are you wanting Ableton to be able to control the Kemper?
That said, can you take a screenshot of your MIDI settings in Ableton>Options>Preferences>MIDI Sync?

There was a similar thread to yours here, recently; if this doesn't help, let us know.
Kemper rack + scarlett 2i2, no sound? -
If rebooting your Kemper and PC, doesn't fix the problem:
Find Device Manager in Windows, look in Sound,video and Game Controllers - is there a yellow exclamation mark on the Kemper Profiler?
If the Kemper does have a yellow exclamation mark, right click the Kemper Profiler and uninstall it, you shouldn't need to remove the driver, but if all else fails, uninstall the driver too. Then reinstall RM 1.6.
