I agree. Even with Axe-Fx's FW6 out, I think KPA keeps a tremendous value for the money. I can get a KPA and an RCF NX12-SMA for the price of an Axe-Fx II and see no way for the Axe to sound "better" than the KPA (even though I see someone else may like it better, of course).
Furthermore, I don't like getting lost in infinite menus and infinite parameters with infinite degrees of interaction among them. For too many years I've been played upon from my own gear LOL. Now, I've the possibility to have a much versatile rig while keeping the simplicity of a guitar, a cable, a lunchbox and a cab.
Apparently, the KPA delivers everything I've ever wanted from an amp: a very realistic valve sound and feeling (the best I've ever heard from a CPU actually), versatility, a potentially daily-changing personality, direct access to its controls, MIDI-awareness, direct recording, a number of good fx which will get better and become more numerous in the time, weight, no valve-related issue, great low-volume sound, h\p monitoring... and maybe I'm forgetting something but this alone would by far suffice.
Furthermore, I HATE fanaticisms, and have found almost none on this board. I really pray for it to stay like this when we become 20,000. Let's welcome everyone's opinion, let's accept criticisms, let's let people love their own gear, let's not feel the need to show that our idea is the best possible... and everything will go well! X)
Peace all
