What about including a document with the item being returned following repair, that clearly states, “this is NOT a purchase, it was sent to us from (the UK (or wherever)) and is now being returned as a repaired item”?

You could clearly label the outside of the package with that statement as well. Might that help?

Well, that will not work. I sent an expensive guitar from Sweden to England for a warranty repair 2 years ago.

I filled in everything making sure that this was a repair and nothing else. I got a 'shipping receipt' from the Swedish customs and I thought it was all fine.

Then a few days later the English shop contacted me a wanted a huge amount of money since they had been billed by the British customs, as they had 'imported' the guitar. I of course refused since it would be the shop to prove to the customs that this is not an inport and that they should not be billed at all.

After some back and forth, and bringing in some more senior staff in the conversation, they of course fixed it without paying any VAT or taxes.

And when I got it back, the Swedish customs already had a record of me sending the guitar so nothing extra was needed to be done from my side.

The moral of the story is that YOU, the receiver of the goods need to prove to the customs that this should not be taxed. By default they will never trust the sender, anyone can write anything on the attached documentation and the customs authority is mainly restricted to their countrys citizens and organisations.

And I just got my 13 year old KPA back from Kemper after a swift repair, replacing a dead power supply. For a fair price and no worries about any custom issues.
Kemper even fixed all the dead leds for just the labour cost.

My KPA is now back home from the Mothership and is working great again!

Got the opportunity to fix all the dead leds on the front as well so now the head looks brand new!

Cudos to Kemper support for everything, thanks for all help! 🙏

Yup, now I got a auto response on the new ticket. 👍

So your email system seem to have issue with my .biz address.

So strange, no mail have arrived... 🤷‍♂️

I'll open a new ticket with another mail address.

Please tell me here if you have tried to respond... Your mail doesn't seem to reach me.

Done!

Hmm... nothing in my spam folder or in my normal inbox?!

- did you actually plug the cable thoroughly into the KPA again? (we've had several cases where the mains cable just wasn't pressed thoroughly enough into the KPA)

- did you try with another mains-cable?

Yup, and Yup...

Tested multiple cables and outlets just to be sure. I'm used to unplug/re-plug the head every week for rehearsals, so I'm familiar with the mains plug.

I mailed the support on Saturday and I'm awaiting response. (using the contact form)

Hi,

Yesterday I decided to move my mains cable for my KPA head from one power outlet to another, forgetting it was already powered up. After that my KPA is now totally dead.

I then of course double checked that the cable was OK and the outlet was working. but no luck...

I have mailed support, but in the meantime is there something I can do? Is there a fuse that might blown or something easy to replace?

Welcome back fighter!

As others already said, take small steps and reclaim your life. Concentrate on what brings happiness to you and your loved ones. Nothing else is more important.

Mycket bra Mats, som vanligt.

I would love to have a visual representation of the 'value' of my volume pedal. At least when moving it.

The problem it would solve for me is that I quite often use the volume pedal to fade out or mute the guitar when playing in a band. Then when it's time to 're-enter', it's hard to know how loud I will be. It would be nice to get a visual clue (0-127, a % or a segmented bar) so I could quickly restore the volume to the level I know would be fine even when I'm not playing.

This could be implemented for all expression inputs by only showing it when one of them is moving.

Yes you can save an Amp as a preset. Do the same thing as you do with a fx in a fx slot. Click on the amp symbol in the rig and drag that to a folder in the preset pane on the left. It will be given a generic name, but you can rename it manually.

Remember though that this is just the amp without the cab so you need to save the cab as it's own preset, so I'm not sure how useful this is...

I'd love some tonestacks for CAA/Suhr OD100 and PT-100.

I and many others here are using Yamaha DXR10. Sounds and feel great. Our band ended up buying a whole PA based on the DXR series.

Thnaks for the reply. The clock rate is the smae on both sides of the connection.

And what device is master? And is the other one synced to that?

I'm also using studio profiles with IR's and other cabs. I've always found that I often like the studio version better than the direct version of the same amp from most profilers. And I have not had any issues taking a studio profile and use it with my favorite cabs or IRs.

I don't really care about 'authenticity', what that is anyway. I just hunt for the rig that will get me as close as possible to the ideal versions of the sounds I have in my head.

I have moved into a new flat last year and I've noticed that I have a great amount of electrical interference in my studio/office.

Not only the one that you get sitting too close to any computer/monitor/KPA etc. but there are 'fields' within the room.

I can walk around the room with a guitar and pick up the noises depending on the direction of the guitar and how close to certain walls etc.

It's hard to record stuff with any type of hi gain even with humbuckers and SC are out of the question due to the amount of noise underneath the guitar itself.

Yes, there is dimmers in this room but the amount if interference dosen't matter if they are on/off or at any levels between.

Is there something I can do to reduce this? (the guitars are professionally shielded, Suhr & PRS, running wireless, no noise when the guitar volume is 0)

Breathtaking!

Thank you! I never really liked that color scheme when I saw it in pictures, but in real life it's wonderful... it seem like one of those that can't be captured by a camera really well.

Beautiful. I have a 594 double cut one off. It is truly one of my favorite guitars. It for me gives me the Les Paul control layout in a double cut guitar. I did end up changing the pickups in mine. The LT pickups were a little too weak for playing gigs. They caused too much of a drop off in volume when I would switch to it. I put in a set of 57/08 pickups and love it now.

Thank you! I was a bit worried about the pickups from what I had read on the 'net. But to my surprise the sound quite similar to my Suhr pickups that I really like. Open, detailed and full, but as you said a bit lower output. We'll see how that works out, I'll probably have different performances for each guitar to make any necessary adjustments. That flexibility is why we use our KPAs...

NGD! After searching for a Les Paul that I could really bond with, I stumbled upon this and could not resist...

I have always loved the look of a LP but I loved the versatility and ergonomics of a "Super Strat". And I have over the years tried and tried to find a LP that I could feel comfortable with and now I think the search have ended!

My Suhr Modern GG sig. will still be my no. 1 but this is worthy to hang with the top guy...
