btw. I found that the LED Collar is very bright in default settings.
I use this settings:
Color LED's : 5,0
Button: 6.0
LED Collar : 2.0
Tap : 6.8My KPA works for 10 month - each days some hours - and all LED's are fine.
-
The middle led of the tuner has gone……
I‘m worry the chicken head knob and other knobs, too.

Kemper customer support has been excellent. I just shipped my KPA to Matt in Texas to repair the LEDS. I'll report back when I get it.

Hi,
Please let us know if you have any more info on the cause or solution after getting yours repaired. My third Gain LED just died on me, but I don't feel like sending the unit out for a few weeks just to repair something that doesn't cause any audible malfunction.
Thanks.

Six leds off for me... it seems a negative RECORD
-
Time for a repair, Maurizio...
-
OFFS!. 2nd LED gone today.
first was LED 6. this is LED 10 (on the gain knob)
Sure I have it on every day, but really? (they have always been on the dimmest settings)*sigh*
-
Mine is fine for now but you guys just got me worried.Could i prevent this using a power conditioner/regulator or something?
-
Ok.. this is getting silly now..
now turned on this morning.. and a 3rd LED is gone, this time on the Volume knob!
they are dropping like flies!
I worry about the long term use of this unit. - 2 years or so, no LEDS will be present. -
Wow, this seems to be getting out of control...
I would really like to see some "official" reaction to these problems. /aliasing included/ -
Depending in how the leds are powered it may seem logical that when it starts it goes worse quickly....just depends how they are powered..not sure
-
yes this is scary !!!
I have had mine only 3 months and no leds are out yet , but i am worried about long term
after reading this thread! -
Hi,
It would be very helpful to get an official statement whats going on with the leds.
Is there anything a user can to do avoid death leds?
Thanks CK and other KemperGuy's for answering.Greetz

The issues you guys are having is starting to make me feel uneasy about the LED's...
-
We probably had the first 2 units on the german market and both have no problems. Don't worry, Chris.
-
Ok I see a trend here.
Now my 4th has gone!.. about 30 secs ago!
seems like once 1 goes,, they all start to go.. one by one.
tomorrow will be more..I guess I have to send it back. - but its a very long wait.
how frustrating!EDIT: Now another just gone.. now its the trebble knob..
yay! -
so,is it has anything to do with the firmware or its just pure hardware flaw? this thing are a lot scarier than the 'aliasing' thing to me

hm, that sounds strange - normally LED's should last for years.
The average lifetime for a LED is 100000hours - about 11,5 years continues on.
The lifetime will be reduced dramatically if the LED get to hot - no problem here in Germany or if the current is to high - that's why I recommend to dim them down (see my settings above) - my KPA runs a few hours every day since the end of last year - all LED's are fine.

That has nothing to do with it.. They of course run fine.. Until they die.. The kpa is in a air controlled studio on the dimmest setting. It's frustrating that this is the way. But it is.. Oh well
