=== Stack ===
The '''Stack''' section contains the '''Amp''', '''ToneStackEQ'''(sometimes called ToneStack), and '''CabCabinet''' blocks. When the KPA creates a profile, it actually creates two profiles - one for the amp (feel/response and distortion tone) and one for the cab (frequency balance, resonance, and speaker characteristics). These blocks are different from all the rest, as most of their data is created through the profiling process and cannot be accessed or changed from the onboard controls.
The '''ToneStackEQ''' block contains the standard '''Bass''', '''Midrange''', '''Treble''', and '''Presence''' controls (BMTP) found on a real amp. These can be accessed directly manipulted through the [[#Big Knobs|large bass, midrange, treble, and presence knobs]]rather than having to enter edit mode for the block. Their setting is indicated settings are displayed via the LED ring around them, as well as being displayed numerically when adjusted. The settings can be stored as a preset like every other block.
''Note: the ToneStack EQ block is the same for every rig - it does not adjust to match the profile of the actual amplifier as modelers typically do. This can be good and bad - good in that you have consistency and know exactly what to expect from the ToneStack, but bad in that it takes more profiles of real amp settings to accurately match its actual operation.'' In edit mode, the EQ block has a checkbox for pre/post operation. This determines if the EQ is applied before or after the amp block. When used as pre, it will have a greater [[Dialing_in_Distortion_Tone|impact on the distortion tone]], rather than how loud certain frequencies are vs. others in post, which is how amplifiers are usually designed in regards to these controls.
