It would be great to be able to run two different cabinets panned L/R. In addition to that, Two different amps at once in the same manner. There may not be enough processing power for the latter? When playing live, I run stereo to FOH panned on two channels. It sounds incredible with the stereo delay on solos. Having two different amps, cabs would make me mucho happy.
Panned Cabinets / Amps

You're probably right, none outside mothership knows the figures but it'd be possibly too much to handle. BTW, I'm not sure two "cabs" would use less number crunching than two "amps" ...
OTOH, there are ways to better the stereo performance, like for example using the stereo widener.
From the wiKPA:
QuoteTo get a huge sound some use a lot of delay or reverb. That may work in some cases, but sounds too much processed in a lot of others. I found that the KPA Stereo Widener (I use it in the X slot) makes some sounds very huge.
I like the KPA with this effect more than the Axe-Fx with two amps/caps at the same time.If the default settings does not work for you - the effect has some parameters to play with ...

I will revisit the stereo widener effect. I've tried it a few times but thought it to be a very subtle effect.

...Let us know what you find out!

Can be done today....just use two KPA's

If the horsepower is there, I don't think it's too much to ask. Boss and Line 6 can do it and those are like Walmart guitar gear compared to the Kemper. -
That's why they have so much horsepower left for the rest, also don't underestimate that Kemper/Access-Virus is a 40 heads company: it takes time to make something right.

This is something hard to compare. There's a reason why the KPA sounds spectacular, and we don't know how much this costs in terms of number crunching. The KPA is not a POD on steroids, its approach is different and its algorithms may require a different amount of processing power.

Excellent idea.
Regarding the computing power , I like to think the KPA is now just as our brain with only 5% of it's full power used
If I remember well, the DSP chip could be also upgraded in a distant future, it's not soldered on the main board.

Tha was only the communication hub, not the DSP

+1 that would be awesome for people like me, who want to combine downloaded amps because they don't own a collection of great amps they could combine to their taste and than profile it in a studio.

Could we get any word from CK or any of the Kemper people if this is even possible?

If you watch the GC Pro video we did with Christoph, I asked him this question directly and he answered....

Well, didn't really answer but at least the thought is there. Thanks for the vid.
