The KPA has a lot of buttons on its front, and it can be a bit intimidating at first. However, I believe the design is amazing, offering quick and intuitive control over lots of different things.
== Mode Select Switch ==
The chickenhead knob in the lower left corner is used to turn the unit on/off, as well as select what mode the KPA is using.
* Off
* Profile - Create a new profile.
== Input/Output Buttons ==
Tap the "Input" or "Output" buttons access Input/Output parameters, such as selecting the active input and changing the output mode of each available physical output. For more, see [[Kemper_KPA_Inputs_and_Outputs|Inputs and Outputs]].
== Signal Chain Buttons ==
The KPA's virtual signal chain mirrors the layout of the top row of buttons.
* Stomp A > Stomp B > Stomp C > Stomp D > Amp > ToneStack > Cab > X > Mod > Delay > Reverb
Below these buttons are the 3 buttons "Stomps", "Stack", and "Effects". These buttons control the entire ''sections'' that encompass the blocks above them. Tapping a section button will disable/enable the entire section. Holding it will bring up its respective edit mode. Each section is covered below:
=== Stomps ===
The blocks labeled Stomp A - D represent assignable effects. Since they are processed before the virtual amp (profile), they are called "Stomps", similar to how most effects used in front of a real amp have a stomp box form factor. The common effects you'd place here include dirt pedals and wah; however, you are free to assign virtually any effect type to these blocks. ''Note: certain stereo effects may operate in mono when placed in one of these blocks.''
=== Stack ===
=== Effects ===
== Quick Edit Knobs ==
Below the signal chain buttons are 6 quick edit knobs. These can be used to tweak parameters of the Mod, Delay, and Reverb blocks without having to hold those buttons to enter their edit modes.
== Type/Browse Knobs ==
== Big Knobs ==
== Rig D-Pad Buttons ==
== Lock, Copy, Paste, Undo, and Redo Buttons ==
== System and Rig Buttons ==
== Tap Tempo Button ==
