Yep hang up on start, it's been my only issue with the K, last time I had to reboot the flash, but many times before it just magicaly fixed itself after leaving it alone. Trying telling that to a 010101 guy.

So except for the green colour, does it do anything different to my recently acquired sp-1 which I have not even plugged in as yet to see if it works ( arrives tomorrow).

Cheers from fellow aussie, did you buy locally?, it's an absolute disgrace what we have to pay but all the same it's worth it

Hi mate, I know exactly what your talking about. I have settled on using some AKG Q701's been fed from a dedicated headphone amp from the KPA's main outs outs bypassing the headphone out. This took a fair amount of the zing ( my word for it) away.
But the icing on the cake is to actually to go to the cab parameters and lower the the high shift a touch and crank the character a touch. The parameters here are all I touch now to tweak 90% of the time.
Remember that a lot of the really good headphones ( but not all of course) are inefficient for design reasons and can do with a helping hand and this has nothing to do with Ohm matching that people seem to think is the only important thing, I assure you it's not.
I used to be a big cab swapper and this can also work, but tweaking these parameters is so quick and easy for pretty much same result.
Hope that helps, just my opinion of course.

common, the lacking low-end and harshness of the GS is obviously not something than can be simply attributed to 'component tolerances' in the real counterparts.
several guy have been trying to use the GS in a same scenario (tighten up the low-end in high-gain amps) and are reporting this independently.to me it's clear that somebody who has spent a lot of time polishing a metal guitar tone will be more susceptible to hear this. just like i won't be as sensitive to tell the different between a guitar with 'vintage accurate' tone caps and one with decent quality ones of same specs, or simply don't have a incredibly demanding ear for clean/crunch tones.
the human ear learns what to listen for once you have a clear picture of 'what it should sound like' in your head. small nuances like the difference between the GS and a real tubescreamer can therefore make a tone unusable. personally, i prefer using the graphic EQ in front of the amp block now since it doesn't 'mess' with the pick attack like the GS. while still not ideal, it's the only viable alternative to a real tubescreamer 'in front' for me so far.
it's mainly the difference in the resulting pick attack what's bothering. not the specific cutoff frequency for treble or bass.
again, it's clear that this 'issue' is mainly bothering a subset of users with a very specific use for the tubescreamer. just like i wouldn't bother if a phase90 emulation isn't spot-on, as long as it's good enough for what i sporadically use it for.
:2c:
Yep, couldn't agree more

Markus Weinstroer profiles, Siggi mehle modded amp.
Can't remember where they all came from, stock, rig 1 or 2.
They just have the OMG factor and clean up beautifully.
Just my opinion course, your style, guitar and taste may differ and that's the beauty of the beast (KPA).

I'll trade you a slightly abused Yamaha Pacifica 112 for it
Nice guitar there and the kemper loves a Tele!

You guy's got stickers!!!!!!!
I feel cheated and a little hurt

Yes please

Stay Classy.

Yes yes and yes you gotta tweak and I'm not talkin about methampentimines.

Been tellin my best mate (drummer) this for near 30 years.
Apparently it's my problem and I should deal with it.

As the Scarlett only has 1 set of outs and if you don' t mind un and replugging may I suggest a decent headphone amp.
I have my KPA outs running into a matrix M-Stage powering AKG Q701's and the sound surpasses the KPA Hp.

Yep that 2nd Charlie hunter type stuff is just plain great, is your guitar the same builder as Hunters?
-
Welcome mate, it's about time we had a few more aussies, are there any more out there?
Yeah that kemper costs a lot in Oz, I'm not a big fan of the distributor. I just don't know how they can justify that price when the aussie dollar been as strong as it is.

Meh, as you argued to your self, "who cares if it sounds good"
