  • Simple Pedal setup for the KPA

    Noob here yet again..........sorry for the bother but I need a little further information if anyone has a minute. I requested some help in regard to being able to change between 2 different Rigs or Presets. It was suggested that I use a Boss FS-6 pedal. However, I'm not exactly sure how to integrate the pedal with the KPA and just switch back and forth between the 2 presets. I did a search but could not find what I was looking for. I know this may be asking a lot but if any of you have already done this and can post directions it would be greatly appreciated. I currently use an old Line 6 AX2 that has 2 presets that I have used for years. I have found 2 presets in the KPA that I would like to try live at our next gig but I'm not sure how to use the Boss FS-6 to switch back an forth between the presets on the KPA. If anyone has the info and it would not be to much of a bother, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, I'd like to integrate a Mission Volume pedal if it is possible. Again, sorry for the bother. I'm looking forward to getting to know the KPA well enough that some day I'll be able to help other Noobs with problems.

  • Where is the Rigs Folder?

    I inserted a memory stick but no Rigs folder was created. The only folders created where: Backups, OS Update, and Shared. Where is the Rigs folder? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

  • Transferring Profiles From your Computer Directly to the KPA

    Noob again! I've been trying to find out if there is a way to transfer Profiles directly from a file on my computer directly to the KPA instead of using the Memory Stick. Also, Guitartone suggested that I use Tills Cabs with some of the Profiles he sent me. Can someone school me on how you use different Cabs with different Profiles. I'm sorry for the bother and do appreciate your time. Once I get the hang of this you will not hear from me as much. Thanks again.

  • Volume jump every time I change to a different amp

    CK,

    Thanks for the response and your time. I'm a little slow at figuring out some of the features on the KPA. I'm trying to evaluate several of the current modelers and they all work a little differently. However, with the help of the fine people on this forum and yourself, I just might get this figured out. By the way, good work. Thanks.

  • Volume jump every time I change to a different amp

    Guitartone,

    Thanks for the responses. It appears that we enjoy something in common. I also play Tokai Guitars. If I'm correct I have something like a LS98 F or something to that effect. It's the best 59 Les Paul I've ever played. It's a violin finish and has Bare knuckle Emerald pickups. It is amazing. I love Tokai guitars, however, I'm a lefty and they are hard to come by. Oh yeah, I do not change my strings around. I just take a right handed guitar and play it upside down. It pisses my tech off that he has to take a left handed guitar and string it right handed. I've played that way for 45 years. I do not see changing now. You know, it's the old dog thing. Have a great night.

    Cheers,

  • Volume jump every time I change to a different amp

    Guitartone,

    Thanks for the response and your time. I will give your suggestions a try. The KPA is very interesting and I can see how if one would be able to grasp the concept, it could be a great tool in your bag. If you have any other helpful hints, they would be greatly appreciated. I'm a 60 year old rocker that plays the local bars and mainly do cover tunes. I have several amps and over my 45 years of playing have tried just about every amp I could afford and/or get my hands on. I got into digital back when Line 6 put out the AX2 and even with all the great equipment I have acquired over the years I still use the AX2 for my club gigs. My high end gear has never been able to replace that old trusty AX2. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it. I am hoping to be able to use some of the high tech equipment I've soaked so much money into some day. I'm just not sure. If I could get just 2 sounds, a nice clean that breaks up a little and a good dirty/singing lead to do some of those good old 70's and 80's cover tunes, I'd be a very happy old man. Well, maybe some day with the help of people like yourself, I may just find what I'm looking for. Thanks for you time and may you have a great Easter.

    Cheers,

  • Volume jump every time I change to a different amp

    Noob here! I hope you can tolerate my stupid questions. Your patience is greatly appreciated. I just got the KPA yesterday and to be frank I'm having a little trouble understanding certain aspects of it's operation. I also have a Fractal Axe Fx II so I'm running the KPA through the same FRFR set up (QSC K12) that I have been using with my Fractal. I must say, this is a different beast but shows a little promise. However, at this particular point in time, I'm not too sure. Based on the excitement about the KPA on this forum, I'm sure the problems are self induced. Nonetheless, the thing that is bothering me the most at this moment is that when ever I change amps (browse) the volume jumps to half way. Even with the QSC K12's turned as low as possible, it is very loud. What is up with this? It does it every time, very frustrating, especially at night when I'm trying to be quiet. Also, if any of you fine people can give me a few basic tips to get me going on the KPA it would be greatly appreciated. I decided to get both the KPA and Fractal (also have 11R) and see which one sounded the best and which one was easiest to use. Currently, the KPA is giving me fits. It just hasn't "clicked" yet. Even though I've only had it a couple of days I should be able the get the hang of the volume issue. I've scanned the manuals but can not seem to find the answer. If any of you can help out an old rocker that just can't quite get the hang of it I'd appreciate your help. The KPA appears to be a great tool if you can wrap your head around it. I think the bottom line with all these new modelers/profilers is being able to understand the technology and how to use it properly. I'm an old rocker that was use to bass, middle, treble, and when presence and master volume came along I actually thought it could not get any better than this. WOW! Things have changed. Thanks for your time. I appreciate it greatly.
