What do you think will be released first: Helix Stadium Proxy or Kemper Profiling v2?

 

[OneEng]

I THINK Kemper, but that's only because I think Stadium is already selling as many as it can make (ie, no big pressure).

Kemper on the other hand is getting lambasted by even seasoned and loyal users for their Gross mishandling of the MK2 launch messaging.

IMHO, this poll result indicates the amount of anticipation for each one. That doesn't bode well for Kemper.

 

[Orvillain]

Kemper suck.

Nah. Line 6 said Proxy is on track to be out in March which is this month. They have a long track record of delivering. Kemper said summer, and missed by a mile. I think the poll results are a reflection of trust more than demand. That said a separate poll on demand might yield the same or even more lopsided results.

*Summer2024, 2025 or 2026?

Kemper said summer, and missed by a mile.

To be fair, they never said which year.

I disagree.

Kemper announcement, May 2025:

"Kemper's new Tone Simulation technology for the MK 2 Series
(expected to be available this summer) is now being tested with third-party sound vendors, with breakthrough features including..."

Lol.

Yet here we are, 10 months later.

 

[Karl Houseknecht]

I only remember it saying “Sommer”, with no qualifiers. I even commented on it back then.

Yeah, they didn't say "2025" in the announcement, but they implied it when they said ''this summer''.

A third option should be before amp x is out

They've edited their website probably 100s of times since last year, but, as it says in your screen shot ''is expected during summer''...

If a company writes that in may or june of 2025, it means that same year - not any other.

Of course that’s what they meant. But the joke here is that it isn’t what they originally said. Joke, as in funny because now it looks like they were hedging bets (even though they weren’t).

 

[Dom Mcsweeney]

But the joke here is Kemper

Not sure I follow you entirely, but I fixed that for you.

Which one will be better?

Which one will be better?

In 12-18 months, if not out the gate? Proxy. They have the advantage of using new tech, likely in partnership with NAM, and they are not tied to a 15 year old DSP architecture.
