[timbuck3]

£700 and no screen,wtf !!!

it saves kemper a whole lot of $$ and headache i bet so profit is higher on this unit.

The two LEDs above the Bank button are supposed to show which Bank you're on.

They messed this up.
Even Crayola has their stuff line up per the rainbow order.

Should've been 1 red, 2 orange, 3 yellow, 4 green, 5 blue.

Yeah, how are you supposed to remember BYRGV?
Bring your... round green vase. Huh nvm, that totally worked for me XD

But yeah, RYGBV would be easier, dunno how/why they came up with BYRGV...

huh? germans dont mess up though

 

[ucnick]

disappointed. why did they once again do such a rigid effects placement topology. my nerves.

Agreed. Rather foolish IMHO.

Every other major modeler allows the user to determine the order.

Kemper still stuck with fixed order. . ANOTHER reason my Stage sits in the closet.

I found it very limiting, reckon I've been spoiled by Fractal and Helix. Thank goodness.

Not to mention that Rig Manager sux, was always glitching on me and hanging, needed to continuously close and reopen, which would cause everything I had done to become lost. Very frustrating. Vastly prefer Fractal and Helix GUIs, much more stable.

YMMV.

(Not sure why the product photos online show both LEDs lit with green light...)

They possibly can't afford a decent camera. So let's change that and buy some Kemper stuff.

Memorizing some arbitrary color combo so you can then memorize what you have associated with some arbitrary color combo?!
I think my mistaken interpretation works a lot better. ‘Bank is numbered by the actual ‘number’ below the singularly lit LED. ‘
#Kemper update that firmware, the idea is yours for free, lol

That bank/rig indicating thing is another contender for a "let's just come up with a stupid UI decision" contest.
Save 50 bucks in parts and ditch a display and the kickass original encoders. Way to go.

Ok, lets all be honest here, how many people had to Google colors of the rainbow to figure out what "I" stands for?

I’ve played enough Pokémon to know about the Indigo Plateau.

I don't get what these in-between LEDs do... do they just stay off most of the time, only to turn on for when you use the tuner or change FX parameters? And what of the LEDs above the Tap/Tuner button?

And why does the LED above the Rig buttons need to light up anyway when the Rig buttons themselves light up...?

Hm... would be nice to see a video of someone using the thing.

I wouldn't want this thing with a screen added, would make it bigger than what I'd want. Light-up LEDs around most encoders would've been nice though, instead of just the gain knob.

I know how to say the word, but doesn't mean I know the color when I see it...
It seems to vary from way blue to way purple depending on who you ask, what the context is, what the material is made of, etc. So who knows...

I asked a guy at work and he said infrared, I thought that was really good guess

When I got married the first thing my wife did was purchase pink couches. She said that they were mauve, no, they were pink!

still married?

It's like you people never used UV-vis spectrometer before or something. They should have just included a little three digit numerical display with the wavelength of the color associated with the chosen bank. Super easy. Everyone knowns 500 = bank 4.

Idk if it's just subliminal messaging at this point but are Kempers still "the studio standard" for digital gear?
