You won't believe the deal I just orchestrated!

    Just ordered a brand new (not b-stock, not resealed...brand new) KPA lunchbox for $1485.89! I won't mention the vendor for fear that they'll get a ton of people trying the same thing and deny the deal I got in whole or in part. I bet the more persistent among you looking to finally pull the trigger on this purchase will probably figure it out, though. Here's what I did.


    I used this link to get a price match: KPA @ Guerilla Guitars for $1749.99. When I mentioned that Guitar Center would also beat it by 10% of the difference, they thought I meant an extra 10% off after matching. They said they couldn't do that, but that they would give it to me for $1650.99 and gave me a link to that price active for 5 days. During checkout, i noticed a spot to put a promo code, so I did a little Googling and found one that worked for an extra 10% off beyond the quoted price match of $1650.99, bringing my final total to $1485.89 including shipping and no sales tax to pay!


    I. AM. BEYOND. STOKED.

    Thanks all! What a nice community we have here at this forum. Doesn't feel like the internet at all!


    I'm going to be using these same "tricks" to try and see how low a price I can get a Behringer X32 for real soon. I just can't see running my KPA through anything less than a Midas designed mic preamp in a live situation (which the X32 indeed has)...the art coming out of the Kemper deserves the best framing possible! If I am successful in getting another great deal, I'll come back here again and share the vendor and all the little details in case any of you would like to try!

    Welcome Raymond, great price, I paid $600 more then you here in Australia even though our $ was fetching $1.05 US at the time, go figure, but it is still the best single gear purchase in my 30 years of playing. :thumbup:

    Sounds like you got a great deal. I paid $1850 for mine last april, but I've had it for almost a year longer so I think we are about even.


    My KPA is the one piece of gear I cannot play without. I have a dozen guitars, but it doesn't matter which one I'm playing, they all sound great through the KPA. No remorse, no regret!

    Before to shell out cash for a preamp, try it without. IMO you will not need any preamp.

    I think we're talking about different kinds of preamps here. I will essentially be running it direct into the PA, and the preamps I refer to are the ones built into the channel strip on the Behringer X32 mixing console.

    OP, that's a nice deal for a new one.
    They are going used for $1500 on Ebay, and it seems like there might be a bit of a dip in prices ensuing. I don't know if it's because of the rack version, AXE 10.0 coming up, or there are just more lunchboxes on the used market now. I sold mine for $1600 last month(lasted exactly 5 min on Ebay!), because I'm getting the rack. This month though, I have seen them sitting for a while at $1600.
    Maybe as soon as a new FW update comes up, prices will rise a bit. It's a good time to grab one if you don't have one yet or want a second one!
