Do to financial reasons I had to sell the Kemper about a year ago (for the 3rd time). Im coming back for good as soon as the Rackmount version is available at AMS. So what have I missed in the last year? The Librarian had just came up when I had to sell. I know the foot controller is due out which is totally awesome. I see there is a new way to profile as well taking a DI of the amp itself. Any new effects released? What have firmware updates improved upon? I think I was on 2.1 or 2.2 when I sold it. Been seeing alot of love for the Mbritt profiles so Ill have to check that out. Even the forum look has changed since I was last here. So what else is new fellas?
Been Kemperless for about a year....coming back!

You did a pretty good summary

Glad your coming back. I couldn't live 1 day without my KPA let alone a year. FW updates have made the KPA more stable and has improved on what was already a great device. The new FW3.0 is coming in Q1 this year and I think this is going to be a big update along with a new rig manager which were both available to see at NAMM last week.

Sweet!
-
Prices remain the same as you well know! lol Welcome back.

I don't remember what it was like back before 0 BK (before kemper)
-
The new improvements include:
1) Low frequency compensation to make profiles more accurate
2) Faster switching time
3) DI profiling
4) Lower latency -
Welcome back!
Also, there have been many new Factory Rigs added in the past year, hundreds (thousands?) have been added to Rig Manager.

Welcome back!

Thanks guys! I still have my usb with all of my amps saved on there so getting back into it will be a breeze. How are the new factory rigs that were released? Anything special? Im excited about faster switching time. Now does that apply to the KFC only? I will be getting a FCB1010 for now (cant wait 8 weeks for KFC) so will rig switching be faster on that as well? Ill eventually be getting the KFC so no biggie either way, I was just curious.
Lower latency? Was that ever a problem? I dont recall ever feeling any latency issues.
-
Faster rig switching with ver 3.0 will be for all controllers.

You guys forgot to mention the "Talent" switch that they introduced in 2.6, he may not need to use it, but it's there nevertheless.

I thought it was hidden in 2.8 and out in 3.0 but only available to those with a KPR

I NEED the talent switch!!!

So can someone answer this for me......are there still issues with the leds on the toaster units? Previously I had to return 2 different toaster units and then a 3rd I just swapped out for the rack because I was sick of sending it in for replacement. The rack isnt available at AMS currently and Im dying to get the Kemper back. So Im not opposed to going toaster again but I sure dont want to have to deal with leds going out again.
-
AFAWK, the issue was due to a faulty batch of controllers purchased\sent in 2012. You've been quite unlucky dude! You must have picked up a series of consecutive specimens

Haven't seen any complaints about dead LEDs for a long time now. And if they do surface, it's very intermittent. I don't think you need to worry about it. My toaster is going on one and a half years and all LEDs are working fine.
