amazing profiles, I've already got most of your packs but that deal is great for those that don't. Do you guys have any plans for new profile packs in the near future? It's been a while

Just got the 3 new profile packs, fantastic!

Love your profiles, following this thread for news and updates

Just got the Inferno pack, love it!

Can somebody please advise what the most stable firmware version currently available is? I'm not interested in Rig Manager 3 or any other updates, just looking for a rock solid platform that won't crash when using live.
Since the update came along that sorted effects into effects groups by type, I've had occasional crashes (not many, but too many for comfort). I'd never had a crash before this update so ideally I'd like to go back to a time when the platform was bullet proof...?

So my question is, in your opinion, which set of headphones below produces the most accurate representation of what your profiles truly sound like?
Its an impossible task. What does a profile truly sound like? You'll hear it differently depending on the type of cab, PA, and room .
I've learnt the hard way and no longer tweak profile sounds with headphones. It always lead to disappointment and frustration when I went loud. Do it the other way, find a set of headphones that sound nice with a tried and tested profile that you've already used live.
I use a set of AKG K92's for silent practicing at home because they sound nice with stock profiles from Top Jimi, Guidorist, BHP etc. iPhone headphones also sound fine for this purpose.
I have ATH-M50X's for listening to music with my quad DAC device (for which they sound brilliant), but to me they sound shrill and harsh when used with the KPA. I've also got Sony 7506's (good, but a little sterile), and used to have DT770's 80Ohm. The DT's were like the M50x's, I enjoyed them a lot when listening to music, but not with the KPA. I loved the build quality of the DT's, they were so comfy and have lovely soft felt ear pads. Shame they're f'ing massive though, look a bit daft wearing them in public ?

Windows 7 ? I can live without the editor but I hope we don't have another file type coming soon that requires the latest RM. (Like we've just had Krig). Well done though guys!

I think you have some of the best 'out of the box' ready-to-go JCM 800 profiles, too.
Completely agree.

What signal path are you using? If you listen to a demo of a profile you like through your existing system (HS-8s are a superb choice btw) then the profile should sound the same when you play through your KPA.
Your technique, guitar, cable will all make a difference, but you already know that. It sounds like your having a whole different sounding experience when comparing demo of profile vs using said profile.
Using Andertons and PD as a comparitor may be unfair as they'll probably post EQ, but if you listen to a demo from say, Tone Junkie for example, they'll show you exactly what you're hearing. If you don't hear that same sound through your KPA, something is amiss

Hey guys , anyone used one of these live? Is the throw like a laser beam or does the sound spread/bleed like a guitar cab.? Very interested to know it’s live gig credentials.
Cheers
Very much like a guitar cab. You may want to use the kick stand or lift off the floor to reduce the bass

Out of interest, why the need for the new format, what's new?

I've never noticed any latency when using pedals through the Remote. So your post got me wondering whether I had just not been paying attention before.
Tonight I carried out a test on Wah, Pitch and Volume using the same pedals connected directly to Pedal Input 1 on the KPA and Pedal Input 3 on the Remote. I tested Wah, Volume and Pitch with each pedal (Mission EP1 and, Boss FV500H).
I didn't notice any difference in latency in any of the scenarios. There is a slight delay before the pedal kicks in from the full heel position but this is the result of the pot taper not latency and the result is the same delay whether plugged into input 1 or 3. Once past the dead spot at the heel position both inputs functioned the same as far as I could detect.
I know that Kemper support said the Remote has more latency due to technical reasons but I suspect they are referring to something like 1 - 5 ms which wouldn;t be detectable with an expression pedal in use.
I wonder if it would be possible to test the layency by recording? If you set the Wah or pitch to say 50% mix and measured the difference between the direct and effected sound in both cases that might work although I can't think how to separate the two. Another option might be to record the Git and Stack or Main outs via SPDIF and measure the lag in each case. However, I'm not sure how you would manage to ensure the pedal movement itself was the same in each test. I haven't given it much thought but there must be a way to test it empirically. Any one got any ideas?
How do you find the FV500H for wah? Is it OK? I've not got an expression pedal yet

What about the mooer candy toppers? They don't look as good but work very well. I've had a couple of grub screws come loose on the other style (and they leave a mark). Plus Mooers are like 1/10th the price. I try not to get too caught up in the aesthetics of something designed to be stood on

Bought 4 got 8 ? thanks Guido! Looking forward to the next pack

Given that the Stage comes at a different price point, we shouldn't expect 100% the same functionality.
Disclaimers are in chaps

I love what you're saying, being able to tweak each knob just like the real amp would be a game changer, yet again. I hope Kemper can do this for generation 2, though I'd imagine it will be more like generation 3 or 4 before we see this (at least another 20 years from now)
It's a huuuge big step up, imagine the complexity of profiling algorhythm! you wouldn't just be capturing a single signal response like the Kemper does now for varying input impulses, you'd be asking it to capture and accurately model at least 40 (if each pot were captured at intervals of 0.25 rotation) times more data on each and every knob you wanted to capture. Say an amp has 10 knobs, that's 400 times more data. Imagine how long it would take to profile, the size of the file, the processing power required....
I hope I'm proven wrong in my expectations of how far off this is as it would be the perfect product.
-
I do hope someday (KPA 2.0 maybe...) we'll be able to sweep through the eq/gain/etc knobs of the amp during the profiling process and end up with a profile that reacts to knob changes like the original amp. That would be something...
That certainly would be something. I hope I get to see that in my guitar playing lifetime

If your mouse uses a USB Bluetooth dongle, plug this in at the back of the PC - not the user accessible ports at the front. These are prone to interference
Edit: Sorry, just read your mouse is wired. Try another mouse ?
