Useless effects...

A "useless" effect to one person may be the Holy Grail of effects to someone else. It depends on whether or not someone has a musical use for a particular sound quality, or not.

There were some effects I initially didn't have a use for, that subsequently have become favorites of mine. The Shapers, for example - those can do so much, it is crazy :).

The more I use The Kemper's version of Ducking (both positive and negative values) the more I like it, too. Being able to bring in/out combinations of multiple effects with playing dynamics and/or guitar volume is wonderful.

Useless for me (so far):
For guitar amp sounds, I personally have no use for the vintage distortion stomps. But, I've never used them with regular amps, either.

None. I do not believe any tool is useless which can be used to modify a guitar tone in a unique way.

Useless thread.

The 'Butterfly Effect' wasn't all that good. I hear the subsequent sequels were even worse...

imo the stereo-chorus is lame and the stereo widener isn't working equal on both channels. Won't cry a tear if they'll be gone.

Any effect can be useful in a certain context.

If we throw out THE stereo chorus there might be two more staying in the unit

Not sure there is any such thing - there are just ones you like and ones you don't.

I think a lot of folks find chorus hard to love purely because it was so over-used in the 80's. I'm enjoying the ones in here, used in a subtle way, but as always you can have too much of a good thing.... to give something a little movement without the potential for cheese, I prefer phaser. Subtle again.

Not Practicing is the worst effect!

That particular one is not included in the KPA. I can't STOP playing.

The angry wife effect is something I could do without though. Maybe they can fix that in the next update?

At least they all know where we are!!

All I NEED is EQ, GreenScream, Delay and Reverb.

Other effects do I use from time to time - but then I am glad they are there - so why should we get rid of any effect?

I would love to have some more options for the basic effects:

Amp-EQ:
Option to set the Amp EQ pre/post the amp block

GreenScream:
Lower gain settings

Delay:
Delay before the amp
More then one delay
(one additional delay effect which could be placed in any slot would do the trick)

Reverb:
Spring Reverb type
Additional room effect
(one additional reverb - maybe with less options or only a room effect - which could be placed in any slot would do the trick)

... then all would be fine.

By the way and according to these answers...this is not an Axe-Fx thread!

Yeah, but I'm still looking for the slot where the toasts will come out that I inserted last week ...

The Axe Effect... Really... doesn't work for me.

Endorsed guys are the worst effect on forums.
Today brand A is THE BRAND and next day brand B is THE BRAND...and so on.

mba, this was over the top!
