If people are seeking "amp feel", they're seeking wrong. Unless you plug your KPA to a Cab.
A recorded guitar sounds NOTHING like an amp in the room...because they're different things. A modeler or ampsims will never sound like playing with an amp.
Simply because what you hear in recording, is the sound of a mic capturing an amp. Nothing to relate to our ears, with an amp, in a room. It's simply impossible to replicate that.
I'm happy with my KPA, even if i feel there's is a lot of room to improving my tone.
Carrying a 2 bags (one for KPA rack, one for remote and exp) and my guitar to playing live, is AMAZING.
