Dear all,
this is quite a trivial trick, sorry for mentioning the obvious, but it's quite handy.
You can jam along your MP3s without any bulky mixer by using the LOOP STEREO effect in the chain and have it locked. I use the headphone out of my old iPod (you might use your cell phone) and connect it in stereo to the two return jacks at the back of the KPA (you need a cable with a stereo 3.5mm jack to two mono 6.3mm jacks).

The LOOP STEREO is put into the MOD slot and you can adjust the balance between guitar and external signal in the effect settings.

There are two caveats of course:
- the external signal goes through delay and reverb, and
- you lose any effect in the MOD slot of your rig.
With a headphone this is a very compact and portable solution.
