Wow that sucks. Especially because you paid twice.

Paid software “unlocks” are stupid, so it makes sense it’s going stupidly.

That is an odd move especially if the one feature someone wanted was the morphing and drive block
They paid and now it’s given away for free

Id send support an email. Doubt it will accomplish anything but I feel like you have a case. Send screenshots showing that morphing was going to cost money if you can

They're not. But the way Kemper have done it, yes. Very stupid.

And lose out on that extra $130? If this was my preferred platform I’d probably just spring for the stage since you get everything and enough switches for it to be useful.

Charging to unlock for many months and them making a main feature free is SO BAD.

Looks like they dropped tier II with 50,-…used to be 179, now 129 eu.
In short…they are lowering their prices, and put more stuff in tier 1.
I bought II and III on day one, I am 100% ok with the concept itself…this new development is complicated to my brain…tbh…not sure if I should be pissed.
QC (or retailers Idnk) also lowered their prices in EU (100,-)…that doesn’t rub me the wrong way…The consequense is equal…I would have paid less of i had waited..and the resale price has probably dropped.
I went for III…so that total package is 50,- less now…I guess I’m ok with that..price drops happen.
If you only did II, especially if you only did it for morphing/EQs…that feels less comfortable, a bigger % chunk of the difference to I is gone.
Then I should feel screwed
In my mind, if they do something (which wouldn’t surprise me), it’s either a rebate..or put some new functionality in lvl II not yet on the radar to rebalance the score.

That was my thought as well. You can get a used Stage for ~ $1K.
The real missed opportunity IMO with Kemper Stage is that people like me with a full Kemper (I have the rack and FC), a small backup would have been very convenient and a nice throw and go rig as well for jam night with the friends.
At the current pricing, I need all the add on's to make my backup rig with the Kemper Player. It makes more sense for me just to buy a used Stage. Sure, it isn't as portable, but then again, it can actually act as a backup while the Player can't ..... without upgrades.
