You have to realise that somewhere around 50-75% of the sound are formed by the speaker.
Check out SinMix comparison here: http://www.sinmix.pl/2017/04/2…s-and-one-cab-comparison/

Now the 'magic' for me with the KPA and it's cab simulation, using a DXR10 (or another good FRFR speakers) it will give me 95% of the feeling of a full out stack in my apartment at a reasonable volume.
What! not 100%.... Well, what is missing is the sound pressure that will drive your guitar, make you feel the sound in your body and also make you ears think is sounds better...
There is nothing you can do about those issues apart from increasing the volume. KPA or not.

Like the same guitar cab with a traditional amp.

As Kempermaniac said, most of the tone is in the cab. Find a rig that has those properties that You a looking for tonewise and then save that cab.
You will notice that as You add that cab to other rigs their original tone changes drastically.

Then find and amp that has the 'feel' properties You like, how it reacts to Your playing, the clean up range, and so on...
Now use the EQ to finetune the rig to Your guitar, mix and taste.

To me it sounds like You should begin with checking out SinMix free pack, it has great cabs and it's tailored towards the heavier genres.
Deadlight Studios also have a lot of free rigs with greats cabs.

Two's a crowd!

Make that three...

Single packs for me too.

I've tried it.
It works but it seems that the G10 is very sensitive to the 'quality' of the power. I could not power it from any USB source (KPA, computer, USB-hub) without getting unwanted noise.
So the only reliable way were to use the supplied adapter. I guess that Line6 never intended otherwise...

Try this one: mark2cplusprofiled.jimdo.com

I bought the Greenback 4x12 and the V30 4x12 packs and they are really good. But there are many good cabs out there in current profiles.
My favs are from Guido, SinMix free pack and some of the free rigs from Deadlight Studios.

I'd love to know if the Remote will fit on top of the KPA in the Thomann KPA bag like it does in the official bag.
I'd love to have one bag to carry everything in that is easy to just sling over your shoulder.

Quote from Robman

8cm wide .....Yeah , its only for the remote and not the profiler

It's two different bags, one for the head and one for the remote...

Hi guys,

I just noticed these new bags from Thomann:

Thomann Kemper Head Bag

Thomann Kemper Remote Control Bag

Quite nice prices too: €38 & €29.

Strange version numbering? Wouldn't these 'minor' fixes suggest a 5.1.2 version or is there bigger changes planned before the official release...?

I still like everyone should ask themselves the important question: "Do I want/need a software editor so bad that I will accept that Kemper stops developing the KPA (no new fx, improved UI, improved midi spec...) for a year or two?"
Because there is no free lunch, resources have to be rescheduled.
And I wonder how many actually have their KPA connected to a computer most of the time and want/need an editor? (I've hade a number of Line6 stuff and I hated using their software)
10-20% of the user base that might actually gonna use it?

Should I demand that a company should invest hundred of thousands euro to develop an editor because I have placed my KPA out of reach...

Was there a special reason for putting the special on a single package this time instead of the complete package as the previous offers?

I didn't noticed that until unpacking the zip-file...

This! I have saved some of my fav cabs from mainly Guido and Sinmix, and applying them to basically any profile will instantly improve them.

The headphone amp in the KPA is of great quality, the ones built-in in most audio interfaces is not. If You need great audio quality for Your headphones in your studio, a separate, good headphone amp is needed.

Th possibility to put delays in more than one FX/Stomp location.

Thanks for the heads up!
I was looking for a decent solution a year ago but never found one that was fairly priced and shipped to Sweden.
Now I have one SPB-10 en route...

I don't know if this is the best way to comment on the beta release, but I'll mail it to the rigmanagers feedback adress too...

First: congratulations to some amazing delays in the 5.0 beta release!
This will adress the comments from the users that have longed for some more advanced fx usage, all in-the-box.

But I have also noticed that there are a lot of users that are complaining about the KPA fx that are not 'power user-types'.
Their complaints are not of the type: "I'm missing this and that feature"
But more of the kind: "I can't get the fx sound like I'm used too"
And when You read 'between the lines' it's almost every time people coming from using pedals and are not used to the concept of having a 'super-version' of an fx with a multitude of parameters that you can tweek to emulate any old pedal.
And all these new delays will not help them...

So my suggestion: Add an another delay type, call it Pedal Delay/Stomp Delay/Simple Delay or something.
Let it have only 4 parameters: Delay Time, Mix, Feedback and Character. Think of Your traditional stomp box delay.
The Character parameter should be a 'meta' parameter controlling various parameters behind the scenes, like bandwith, modulation, varble and so on.
Range from -5 to +5, were the 0 have a great 'pedal delay' tone as default and going towards -5 will make it more 'digital' and +5 will bring in more analog character.

That would add a fast and simple method for all users that's not into creating big lush delayscapes and are coming from their simple pedalbord setups.
Well, what the heck, I might use it myself...

... and then I realised that the addendum didn't even mention the Dual Crystal Delay...

Shimmer on baby!
