Italian KPA epidemic

... It seems like all the Italians are selling their toasters!
And they agreed on the price, too...

LOL

Oooooohhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
It,s some kind of desease?

I must to say, that I,m sad too, when I,m thinking that my KPA still has a lot of unfunctional buttons and jacks, and a lot of missing features (like two way MIDI communication, Editor/Librarian, USB, Perform, Undo/Redo..... ............I,m sad too, when allways someone is attacking me, when I,m trying to point out these shortcomings.... ,

........but on those difficult moments I,m starting to play on my Kemper, and everything will be okay, because the sound is so organic....

Marvelous!!!

Prolly they are all going for the Rack version!

All the ones at 1550€ are Internet shops selling at list price.

Oh! Really strange Gianfranco, just yesterday I was checking on that site and I found only 2 Kemper to sell...today they are 7 !!!!

So, what's happened in the night!!!!

Mhhh...

One of those is a double post (probably two different sections of the site), but yes, they've become a lot!

Honestly, I don't think all of them are switching to the rack. If I were, I'd specify it, this would IMO give the buyer more confidence.

Hmmm... I could be in the market for a toaster now that I have my rack unit.
Interesting developement.

P.S: I still wonder how is possible to sell my attractive toaster (cit)

Easy: it may happen when you don't get a clue about how to make it make good sounds

No, I meant getting a toaster in addition to my rack unit . 1250€ is roughly 11000 Swedish kroner. It's about €250
less than I pay for my first unit.
But... I need things to cool off a bit at home before spending more money

Most of them are selling or switching to tube amps, I agree that maybe they don't know how to use it...

That maybe so. My 3 week experience of the KPA suggests that it may not be for everyone.
For me its great but I like to fiddle and tinker with things (yes, you're right -I'm an engineer)
One of the things that maybe hard to understand for traditional users is tha the KPA
introduces several new terms that are unknown to them and this falls outside their
comfort zone. The KPA does require a fair amount of attention if you're gonna get
your desired tone.

Totally agree, while the POD is meant for beginners to intermediate with easy controls and pretty software interface, the KPA is a more advanced gear, it's like comparing Garage Band with an actual recording studio...
