Hi , you have access to both worlds there is a 'green screamer' stomp slot that you can lock ( available/ switchable to all rigs ) , you also have some rigs with the real stuff profiled WITH a specific amp ( you cannot get rid of the TS).
I don't think all TAF profiles come with a TS rig , but Andy always choose the best stomps and do a few profiles in each amp pack, TS or other OD/Dist stomps depends on the amp's behavior.
The KPA's TS works a bit weird.
Tone ranges between -5.0 and 0 - anything above 0 is ignored - so a real TS tone at noon will be -2.5 on the KPA.
Second, the volume boost available from the KPA's TS is insane. try +2.0 or +3.0.
Third and most importantly, try adjusting with your ears, not your eyes. It will make your life much easier, particularly with the KPA.

Thanks, i'll try this.
Note also that the Green Screamer is based on the Maxon OD808.
I usually run my OD808 in front but I this will not allow me to get a clean DI signal and also require me to carry more equipment. So I left my OD in the chain and adjusted the internal od until I was satisfied with the match. Note that your distortion sense, cab volume, volume to name a few will also effect the amount of distortion. For me it is best to keep DS at 0 or below (I use hot pickups and play metal), cab volume at 0 and volume below half.
In this instance the output is not clipping. Try monitoring through SPDIF and turn the Cab Volume up. It sounds to me like power amp distortion, or is it simulated speaker break up?
i'll give it a go. I'm assuming you have no effects in the Effects section turned on, and after increasing Cab Volume, you are reducing Volume to compensate?
I have never seen anything claiming that Cab Volume was useful for anything other than leveling Cab profiles. For instance, Maurizio spent quite some time leveling all the cabs for his standardized backup. There is no mention of tonal alteration in any of the Kemper official manuals. But who knows?!?!
I do have 2 eqs active. It may be a synergistic effect...let me know what the result is for you.
I have saw that others prefer the cab volume up when playing loud.
For me it doesn't work when recording.
From the wiKPA:
The KPA has got three volume knobs:
1. Master Volume
2. Amp Volume
3. Cabinet Volume
[[ckemper]] None of these alter the sound. But the controls are scaled differently, giving you a different perception.
The cab volume is hence easier for making fine adjustments. If you have an EQ on X, the cab volume is also a very important part of your overall volume control.
