Don’t forget the LOCK button.
This’ll let you lock your ‘pedals’ (Stomps & Effects) and more as if you were using a pedal board with a valve amp.

I'm really curious how the speaker will sound and if I'd only start using direct profiles and leave all studio and IR's behind me

There is nothing inherently better about the technology of modeling a Vintage 30 in a 1 x 12 cab, than using a real Vintage 30 in the same cab. So I doubt it will get you any closer to what you conceive of as "hearing the Kemper as it is intended to be heard". You just won't need as many real cabs to cover the modeled speakers offered by the Kemper technology.
I wouldn’t be so sure. Who knows what magic Kemper will sprinkle over their 1x12? They’ve worked miracles before with the profiler, and this is their biggest innovative release since that platform. I’d be surprised if it’s as simple as a speaker modeller 1x12 akin to the L6 PowerCab (that was a big disappointment). Knowing Kemper’s attention to detail and engineering prowess, I’m excited to see if they can turn the FRFR/Cab situation on its head as it has with the amplifier head.
I don’t agree or disagree with you. I’m in the camp that buys the matching cab that goes with an amp because the way I see it, that is the datum for the amps design. The KPA is many amps and came before the cab, so I’m very interested to see how the Kemper Cab turns out.
Let’s face it, Team Kemper are confident enough to stick a HUGE Kemper kite logo on it so it’s going to be amazing ?

The BE100 pack v1 is my favourite of the bunch, and I’ve got loads of BE100 packs. Tim Owens & Matt’s are the best I’ve come across.
The Deth pack is also a must, that ‘Deth Marty Crunch’ profile is killer!
Also check out the Fender Twin pack, that’s amazing (pitted against my favourites from Guidorist, Tone Junkie & Top Jimi - Matt’s Twin has pipped the competition for the top spot and on to my Profiler).

❤️ 18 coffees for the price of 9. Thanks Guidorist

Is it just me or is anyone more excited about the Kemper cab than the recent OS/Stage/Editor hype?
The thought of hearing the Kemper as it is intended to be heared, through an engineered solution designed by the OEM, has me about as excited as I was when the Kemper was first announced.
Tease us Kemper team, an update please please please ?

i've been using Sony MDR-7506 headphones. What monitors and headphones do you use?
Now I use AKG K92’s, but I also have Sony 7506’s. I don’t use them much these days, used to use them with my POD HD - they’re good headphones.
Have you tried your Kemper with another pickup? If you have and you’ve been happy with the sound out of the Sony’s you know they aren’t the problem.

Did you say 80’s? Sold ? I’ll check back in when I’ve had a chance to play through and share my thoughts. Cheers Matt, keep up the profiling ?
-
Both input and output would be very handy

Bugger, missed this one. Do you have a mailing list for future offers?
-
my lack of fan bois pimping them on every thread doesn't mean they aren't better than what is available now.
Take my money, your profiles are superb. Just ordered the Dumble, Vishnu, BE100 (v1.0 & v2.0), Fender Twin, & Friedman JJ.
Keep em coming, would love a CU/Suhr PT100 - there isn’t many pro profiles out there for it
-
My Stage should be here any minute. I'm giddy with excitement waiting for the Fedex truck
Excited to hear your thoughts on what’s new, especially with the new OS. Enjoy ?
-
Hopefully you can laugh about it now and add it to the ‘spinal tap moments’ memory book ?

What are you hearing your Kemper through? Headphones, cab, monitors?
I’m not a fan of the Slash or Caswell packs, I have both but prefer offerings from Deadlight studios. That said I do use the Brown sound pack more than any other (every day in fact) with all sorts of pickups, including Duncan Distortions and it doesn’t sound brittle to my ears.
Focussing on the Brown Sound pack, have you tried it with other pickups and been happy with the result?
When I first got my KPA I found everything sounded harsh and brittle but it was the monitors and headphones I was using (Yamaha HS5’s and ATH M50’s at the time). It took me a while to find monitors and cans that I liked
-
or better an additional studio eq added to the output section.
The Studio eq contains HP and LP filter.
Actually I am using (wasting?) the locked X Slot to achieve the result.
I wonder how many of us are using up a slot for a locked EQ? I have a graphic EQ locked, it would be great to have this in the output section and free up the X slot.

Actually no, Helix is available in rack form. It just that the Helix Floor seems to outsell the rack by far.
Ah yes thank you, I stand corrected
indeed the floor does outsell the rack, it will be interesting to see if the KPA stage outsells the rack/toaster too. I hope not as my own situation is much better suited to the toaster so I hope that remains a hot product -
I’m more than happy with the toaster (and the fact it sits safely on the back row away from beer and dirty floors) and hope Kemper continues to support it.
Line 6 moved away from desktop units (Pod bean) and favoured the floor unit, I really really hope Kemper doesn’t do the same for future products.
Having a choice of both is great, but if we can only have one, a desktop/rack unit beats a floor unit every time for me.
Bring on the active Kemper Kabinet & editor though! Exciting times ?

Sometimes when I create a new folder in rig manager it doesn’t show the ‘my rating’ column even when I right click and tick the box to show it..
Cure: create another new folder and try again. Never failed me.
