I was at rehearsal yesterday and intended to try a few newly downloaded profiles to see if some could fit in our mix. My KPA-rack is placed on top of two 4x12 boxes so I guess at around 1.70 meters height. This due to ease of connection and also because I like to have all buttons right in front of me and see what is going on.
So, while checking the profiles, I was walking around to hear how the sound was in various spots of the place and suddenly stumbled over my guitar cable. The KPA was pulled down from the box litterally falling down on its face (with the buttons side directly on the floor).
This was the moment when my heart stopped beating until I managed to recover from the first shock, put the KPA back on its place, connect again the cables, and discover that all was still working well and the KPA didn't habe even one small scratch!
I mean, this thing fell down on its face from 1.70 meters and everything is still looking and working flawlessly!!
Of course I made some thoughts thereafter, and now I fixed the KPA with some spare cables to the box, so that it is not possible anymore to pull it down. The KPA is so damn light, with my tube amps of about 23 kg weight, the cable would be simply pulled out of the connection and nothing more. Less weight seems not to be always helpful :D.
Anyway, with my story, I also wanted to show that the KPA is really a really well built piece of gear, so thanks to the company for this! And maybe some of you kemperites may want to consider fixing the KPA in order to avoid such a horrible experience.
Cheers
