Ok, happy news.
The nasty artifact is definitively caused by the "pick" parameter. And beware, not only if it's pushed, it happens even in the negative course of the pot: you'll have to set this at 0.0 (effectively bypassing it I guess). For example, in my profile it was set at -3.5.
Harmonic, please let us know if this solves your problem too, so we can definitively sort this to an end.

In another post, someone mention it could be a fault of the "pick" parameter, I'll check my profile to see if it's set too high...hope that's the case, because I tried two times the flash reset procedure, and the problem persists.

By "full factory reset" what do you mean? I tried system reset (holding system on boot) and flash reset (holding the first button over the screen on boot). Is that procedure different?

Had the same issue and solved it by using a full factory reset as per the WiKPA unofficial manual 'Tips & Tricks for the KPA (wiKPA) - For those who want to get to know their KPA far above what's in the manuals :)'

Make sure you do a backup first!

Thanks for your help.
Morgan Dual 40 Clean, it's one of Andy44's profiles from The Amp Factory.
Guitar is a custom Telecaster, neck pickup, it's a Lindy Fralin vintage (so passive and low output, by no means I'm going to clip the input with something like this). Guitar is direct in the KPA. Clean sense is at 3.5.
Firmware it's the latest, 1.6, but I also tried to downgrade to 1.5 with no improvements.
I also tried system reset, flash format and reinit, reinstalling from USB. Nothing changed.

Yep - I hear the same in some of my profiles too (what profile is this?) - It's at the tail-end of the chord. What kind of pickups are you using? Is this is a guitar with active circuitry?

What version of the firmware are you using?

I'm experiencing the same problem...yes, I definitively can hear that
"fizz", it's like a background blanket of hiss behind the notes. I'm a
KPA user just from one week and this drives me crazy, I was thinking my
unit was defective.
Here's my sample of this: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?njtrbjil4cicn6w
(this is the Morgan Dual40 Clean profile from Andy of TheAmpFactory, fx all bypassed, Telecaster directly in the KPA, KPA XLR outs in my RME Babyface).
Is this only a fault of the "pick" parameter? Now I'm at work and I can't see if "pick" is set high on this profile. It happens only on certain profiles by the way.
Please someone help...

I get this even with gain at 0! Here's my sample of this: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?njtrbjil4cicn6w
Please someone tell me how the problem can be solved, it's really a deal-breaker for me
