Support have said opening it up won't void the warranty, so I'll be opening it up shortly....
Controlling your levels in this way will leave enough headroom for the mastering process.

Anyway, that's how you get good sound inside your DAW, just google "gain staging with VU meters"

2. You have various points in the recording chain to control levels, i.e. Kemper Output, audio interface preamp, DAW trim plugin, etc. I would say start off by getting the best possible sounding output from the Kemper, and then adjust the preamp levels.
The VU meters are just another way of monitoring the input signal, over and above the existing meters that are built into the DAW. VU metering harks back to the days of analogue consoles, and it is a recording methodology that people still find useful in the digital realm, as a lot of plugins have been calibrated to sound best at -18dbFS.
3. I actually posted a short series of videos on here which cover this topic. It is presented at a sufficiently high technical level to be very useful. The presentation is a bit dry, but it's worth persevering as the bloke is a professor at a music conservatoire.

Reverbs are completed - but they're now doing a new preset manager so the reverbs are being delayed until that's completed.

I did a gig last night with the KPA, Red Sound LG12 and a DXR10. Plenty of punch and volume - the Red Sound gives it low end punch and the dxr adds detail and clarity. Expensive solution though.

I use the power rack into an Orange 2x12 at rehearsal and for stage monitoring. No problem going up against JCM800's, 5150's etc.
I wanted to ask about expression pedals... will any old expression pedal do? Do I need to spend the money on a Mission one or will something like Zoom one work? I really like my Morley Lynch Dragon 2 - would that work plugged into the input of the Kemper or am I better using the wahs on the Kemper?
Profile wise - I can highly recommend the Caswell modded JCM from Jimi. I've been using it exclusively, and I love it!
