Had to look for myself on ebay.

Sure enough, there are plenty that have gone for at or below 1K while there are still quite a few above 1K. Still, looks like selling price from on-line stores for the Rack for instance is around $1300 used.

Personally, I would recommend a used KPA to anyone at that price.

I would agree that the design is getting some years on it now. For the longest time, used units sold very close to the new price. I guess it was only a matter of time until enough used units were on the market that the used prices had to fall (that whole supply and demand thing).

I even saw a rack WITH a FC that went for $750.00. That is a crazy good deal for that fortunate soul.

While I paid ~$1700 for my rack and another $400 for my FC, I feel I have more than received my return on investment and then some. I bought mine in 2013, so I have enjoyed more than 10 years of use. I would never dream of selling though. I guess the used market is going to have to survive without my KPA :).

Agreed 100%.

None are stolen (?!?!?)... 2 are already gone from my post yesterday.. All are in excellent condition..Doesn't matter if it's 12 years old, or 1 year old, exact;lty the same hardware..ANyhoo.. A few folks are going to get a KILLER deal..wish I had extra $$..

Just an FYI...There are 5 Powerheads/toasters, and 3 unpowered racks in Los Angeles for sale on Craigslist, all othem under $1200...ugggg Makes me want to buy a back up.. There's even one for under $1K... So much for Kemper holding the value (..Powerhead still my fav of all the modeler/profilers..)

On it!! Not sure how I misse dthis... Im not on the forums a whole lot..I have a buddy that lives on here and usually updeates me..so much for that! Thansk!

AM I the only one who is waiting for the official release of LP? (..not Beta..) ? I don't have a thumb drive to "Back up" anything (..I've never had to use when doing updates..) and I don't record using USB, just a 1/4 guitar cable intot he front of my Presonus Audiobox into my Mac (11 year old Mac..) Loving the sounds of my profiles, but would like to experoience the "realistic" tone controls, etc... I think the fact that I'm not tech savy AT ALL, and I've already tried to do this update (..yes, update to 10 . whatever and updated the rig manager...no luck..I'm sure it's me....) I get discouraged and end up not doing the update and just palyiong my profiles.. I've watched numeroud vids on how to do it, still don't get it. Not looking for someone to explain "how to upload the beta" version, just wondering if anyone else shares this frustration and wondering when the OFFICAL LP wil be released.

Beta Os AND the beta RM?

......hmmm....Now I'm not sure on the RM...I'll check tonight..I bet that's it. thanks.

I just downloaded "beta..10..." Still getting a similar error messge..Cannot save LP's. I tried uploading an image/screenshot of what I downloaded /updated, but this site won't let me upload..

Quote from Ni6htWalker

means that you need to have the Beta os and the beta RM

Quote from Justin1971

How long (roughly) does it take to go from a Beta version to the real deal - obviously there is no definitive answer but I really want to try LP but use my KPA every week for live shows and can't risk a beta version - I also like Rig Manager and some have said it stops working on V10 beta

Yes...I am waiting for this as well... I was bout to do the update Beta version, but just saw 3 posts with issues (..minor buggy stuff that needs some tweaking..) It looks promising.. Can't wait!!

Quote from V8guitar

I disagree, in that its not that black and white.

I've used a lot of stock profiles and purchased profiles. There are good and bad profiles in the free ones AND purchased ones....before you go spending £00's on profiles..

True...That's why I suggested the 3rd parties I suggested. Those in particular ARE by far and away A LOT better than ANY stock K profiles or freebies .No need to spend$100 either.. $20-50 should do it. Of course you should always scroll through and try what's available for free...You can get lucky after endless hours of searching. Again- specific to high-gain studio ready and or live ready sounds . There are also a lot of other great 3rd party out there as well.

Quote from Larryarms

Are you saying that the STL and JM tones are worth the money compared to stock profiles?

For the high-gain stuff, yes...without a doubt.

I play high gain (Sevendust-Killswitch, as well as a lot of 80's-90 metal..)..Irun my powerhead through a 412 V30 cab, right along with my other guitar player(Boogie MKIV head and recto 412)..I profiled the MKIV and just end up tweeking it in real time when we're both playing..No problem , just use the monitor EQ (..this leaves the mix to the board or direct recording untouched..).. I end up adding a little bass, but turn the presence down to 9Oclock, and the treble to 10 oclcok..this gets rid of some of the harshness and "Ice-picky" sound you can get from SS vs tube....SLIGHT tweeks of the EQ beyond that and you should be good. Don't be afraid to crank the Kemper as it does sound better the louder it gets. Of course, the profile has to be good..there's A LOT of "Meh" profiles in the Kemper and the user group/share page.... The differenc ebetween those, and payiing $50-75 for some 3rd party ( STL Tones, CILLILABS, and Josh Middleton are a few good ones), and the "free" profiles is live and loud with the band...ALLthe way there so to speak. Hope this helps.

Quote from AdamMassacre1981

This is a recording i just did using 3 completely different guitars with completely different pickups.

The profile is a stock one i added a Green scream and a noise gate i also diled back the gain.

still there using all three guitars.

Just so we are clear my chain is GUITAR-FRONT INPUT-LEFT MAIN OUTPUT XLR/BALANCED JACK- INPUT ONE (INTERFACE)- MONITORS OUT (INTERFACE) (Kemper main out set to master mono all other outputs OFF) nothing is clipping going into the kemper. Nothing is clipping coming out of the kemper going into the interface.

Display More

Stupid question,,have you tried the left maion out 1/4 " jack? That's the one I use right into my AudioBox, right into my Mac.. Make sure I'm not clipping, and I don't even adjust EQ... Just checking..I know there shouldn't be any difference between the 2 except for the impedance..

Quote from AdamMassacre1981

Nah sorry guys been trying all day with HUGE drastic EQ's on the kemper AND in my DAW and i can still hear that frequency and cant shift it. I even purchased another kemper bundle yesterday to try out that of course sounded NOTHING like the demos not even close and that blummin frequency fizz was there again in ALL of the profiles in the bundle...ive had enough. Im just gonna stick with my original plan and get rid of my kemper.Probaly set fire to the damn thing and throw it in the river.

This is the final clip.

ALL of these profiles are from different sources random rig exchange profiles and commercial ones.

TELL me there aint a problem there? THAT is the ALIEN fizz glitch that has plagued EVERY distorted profile i have ever bought for my kemper AND ever used from the rig exchange.

That is NOT right NO EQ removes it...it is EMBEDDED in ALL high gain/distorted profiles.

From around 3k to 10k. When cut with EQ it is still there only muddier and it has been EQ'd so extremely the tone is completely destroyed.

Did i mention this is on ALL 6 of my guitars and in every high gain profile ive ever used.

Im out.

Not sure what's going on here..the tones sound ggod, but that cutting out gltchy thing.. Obviusly something wrong, or else at least 1 other person would have this issue.

Quote from skoczy

But you are playing powered Kemper through real guitar cabinet?

Then try connecting it to studio monitors and share the experience.

I could not use just a powered monitor as my main rig, but as a monitor, no problem, thru the mains- crushing. But yeah, for me, gotta have a guitar cab pushing air. I could never do the FRFR thing.. Sell it, go get an amp, and don't look back!

I'm sure someone has said it on here..Something is obviously wrong. I am an amp and tone snob (..at least I think I am lol..) Owned every Boogie, Bogner, Diezel,etc...as well as Axe FX and Line 6..Still have the Boogie MKIV half stack that my other guitar player uses and I go thru my K Powerhead through a V30 Cab. Absolutley gloriously crushing..plenty loud, full, rich and organic sounding (..using a rofile of my Boogie that I did myself..) It literally shocks us how good it sounds everytime we plug in to it. I got rid of my Axe Fx gear (..sounded KILLER, but the interface on the fly was challenging) as well as my Helix becasue it took a lot of EQ tweeking for recording direct....The Kemper i just plug in and go..NO tweeking, sounds and feels so inspiring... I'm sharing this because I was so skeptical of the Kemper, and it has outlasted all but one of my amps and modellers...If it doesn't sound and feel incredible (..again, depends on the profiles and some other factors, ) something is wrong. Good luck man...sorry for the bad experience.

My Powerhead takes a little over 2 minutes to tuen on, an additional 30 seconds for the foot controller to power up..I have the latest update... Never really thought this was an issue...My Boogie takes about the same to turn on and wamr up.. No big deal.

Quote from BayouTexan

I've never been able to dial in a convincing acoustic using an electric guitar probably because I don't have the right setup. You probably need a guitar with low output pickups and at least 12's for strings, or you really need an acoustic.

Ahhh...I just read up on one of the guitarists I saw...Had a piezo pick-up in the bridge of his solid body PRS... You can't get the "natural" acoustic sound with a standard Humbucker or single coil pick-up...The Fishman piezo for electric guitar. Makes sense!
