It has taken me a while to get the confidence to use the KPA in a live setting, but last night was my third gig with my KPA, CLR and UNO4K. I've been getting some good feedback on my sound and the combination works well together.
I'm using 2.1.1 release and avoided 2.2 because of the gig.
Anyway, setting up in a pretty cramped space with the audience ready to dance, there was no sound at all from the CLR after the KPA booted up. I couldn't hear a thing from the CLR so assumed that was the problem and started swapping cables and powering the CLR off then on...no luck. Getting a bit worried and ready to drag in my backup tube amp, I vaguely remembered a forum discussion about no sound, but because it hadn't happened to me before I didn't take much notice of the fix so I powered down the KPA and started it up again...voila....sound!
Panic over for now.
But then later in the gig, the worst thing happened. No sound at all again. This time I looked at the KPA and it was showing the boot screen but no progress bar and nothing I did could make it go away so my only recourse was to power down and wait for it to restart (meanwhile the dance floor was starting to empty
Neither of these things had happened to me since I bought the KPA a year ago so it shook my confidence a little in using the KPA in a live setting.
On top of this I noticed that I have a bad LED on the vol control
I remember as a kid falling off my bicycle and my parents saying I should get straight back onto the bike.
I'm hoping I can avoid the the strong urge to go back to my tube amps and just get back onto that bicycle for the next gig…..I like riding the Kemper!
