→Signal Chain Buttons
Tapping any of these buttons will disable/enable that block in the signal chain. (Disabling is equivalent to removing it from the chain.) Holding a button will bring up ''edit mode'' for that block.
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.'' Newer firmware allows Stomp D to be placed behind the Stack section.
By holding the "Stomps" button, you enter the Stomps edit mode, which has the useful feature of allowing you to reorder the stomps. You use the buttons above the display to move left and right to highlight a stomp, select it, then move it left and right.
=== Stack ===
The '''Stack ''' section contains the '''Amp''', '''ToneStack''', and '''Cab ''' 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 '''ToneStack ''' contains standard '''Bass''', '''Midrange''', '''Treble''', and '''Presence ''' controls (BMTP) found on a real amp. These can be accessed through the [[#Big Knobs|large bass, midrange, treble, and presence knobs]]. Their setting is indicated 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 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.''
=== Effects ===
The '''Effects ''' section contains 4 blocks just like the Stomps section; ''however'', '''Delay ''' and '''Reverb ''' are special - they are limited only to Delay delay and Reverb reverb types of effects, while all other blocks are incapable of loading such effects. '''X ''' and '''Mod ''' function much like the Stomps, but they made have additional parameters for stereo separation that are not available when used as a Stomp.
