Just updated to 3.1.0 from 2.6. Is it just me wanting to believe that the Kemper sounds stronger than ever or are my old ears fooling me? Ever since I got my Matrix power Amp coupled with the fr212 cabinet I have been lazy as far as updating and following the forum religiously. Thanks to all the tried and true stalwarts of the forum for keeping this forum of forums alive and well. If it was not for you guys I don't think the Kemper would be where it is today. Anyway just updated to 3.1, dialed in the last profile I was playing for the ab comparison and plugged in my trusty 1980's Jap Strat. All I can say is that I percieved a marked improvement and quality of the overall sound, bordering on bell like tones emanating from my rig. No dialing in or tweaking or adjusting. Arpeggios with improved articulation instead of a muffled blur of notes, sustained and ringing note bends and chords ring out pristine and clear. I am quite impressed to say the least......Naw must be my old ears fooling me once again!
Sound Improvement?

Must be your ears
Kemper have said that up dating FW will never alter the sound of profiles unlike the Axe FX. LFC was added to 1 FW a while back which again was able to be turned on and off, but other than that no sound changed have been added. We now have things like Pure Cab which you can adjust to improve your tone. Great to hear you are loving the KPA

Well, it depends.
If you update to FW 3 and you're playing through a Poweramp and Cabinet using new Direct Amp Profiles then yes you will hear an improvement in tone.
Try the Pure Cab through your setup (if you haven't already) and you might be even more pleased that you updated.

Placebo effects can fool us all.
When playing the same rigs through the same periphery your profiler should sound the same as @Raoul23 has pointed out.
Now go check out PureCab. -

they refined the bass response
Go to page 8 in the System Menu and activate softbutton “LFC Off” to change it -

Go to page 8 in the System Menu and activate softbutton “LFC Off” to change ityes, the bass response was adjusted.
it's interesting that a change of the bass response can easily be interpreted as a change in the upper frequencies, even though nothing has changed there.
that's human hearing for you
