Some interesting news from Kemper (Profiler Player)

[Jarick]

Interesting, there's no screen at all. Could be a really neat pedal for people that like the Kemper!

I will say Kemper's iPad app is AMAZING for editing purposes, and it looks like this has BT/WiFi so that could be really nice as well.

No display is just gonna make me interested enough to start keeping my eyes open for a Stage...

Edit to add -- if there's one thing I've learned about my time with Kemper is not to judge it too quickly or too harshly in terms of how easy/hard I THINK it will be to use.

That was a big one for me. I stayed away from Kemper for a long time because I thought I would hate the way it works, but I quickly found I actually love the UI for performances

Nice price! Around what I expected. Thing is the used market for a profiler is so low. I've bought one or two in the $900 range

Personally I don't want one (I have a rack and stage), but I think it's a great idea and I can see where lots of people will buy this. Kudos to Kemper.

And to those who said it couldn't be done, what say you now, haha.

That's more expensive than a Stomp XL. And it doesn't have MIDI, unless its via USB?

Given the price of used Kemper racks, somebody has got to REALLY want this size to go this route.

Hmmm. Midi over USB. I wonder what that means I'd need to do in order to connect it to a GigRig G3?

It is a bit pricey for me tbh. But I can kinda see it working when you just want a really quick plug-and-play experience, and you know you've got a few profiles you like that you don't want to go balls deep with.

Seems they might wanna mention this in the specs at Andertons.

Why wouldn't you opt for the Tone X at half the price

No effects except comp and reverb, for one.

Andertons either have the price wrong, or they're adding a huge mark up.

Excellent condition Kemper but not finding much use for it after the vast amount of plugins these days. If I were gigging I would most likely keep it. if you have any questions let me know.

All we need now is Kemper Profiler Native.

 

[Orvillain]

I truly wish they would improve their profiling tech. I'd grab one of these if I thought I could trust the tones to be accurate to my real amps.

Reason being, I can see this playing quite nicely with the BigSky+Timeline+LVX+GigRig G3 combo I have going on right now.

That's more realistic...but I still find it pretty high given how limited the I/O is, no screen, gotta dongle up the MIDI, etc. The thing probably weighs 3 ounces and is running some 38 cent processor.
