Kemper Amps Forum

Sweetwater is cool in that regard. If you pre-order and the price goes up, you still get it at pre-order price. When I bought my Variax, Line6 raised the price by $200, but I got it at the lower price

No VAT when shipping to the US. The cost of the unit was 1250 euro which was like $1580. Saving $300 from Sweetwater's price assuming no addional duty.

OMG!!! Where?

I'm sorry I must be stupid but this link takes me to the main page...
When I search for Kemper amp I get this:
http://www.thomann.de/gb/kemper_profiling_amplifier.htm
and price is 1399 euro
I really was interested in the 1250 euro price

Never mind I get it now...
Thomann has a different price for each country!

The price you see there is with VAT (between 16% and 21% in Europe), for export the prices are VAT exempt. In this case the price was 1450€ - 19% VAT = 1218€ + shipment

So, does anyone have an update on shipping units to the U.S?

Strange that they took your money already!!! I have mine ordered a very long time ago, but they never charged me, and won't charge till it ships to my house.

I have mine on order since last year with Sweetwater...per my last discussion with the sales rep, they are still expecting to receive the units by late february (but he really isn't too optimistic about it)...I contacted Kemper sales directly again and I was told they are hoping (once more, the word "hoping") to ship to the US in the next 2 weeks(meaning our units are still in Germany!).
Now, even if that were to hold true, it would be 2 weeks from now and then another few weeks (for the shipment to get to the US after clearing customs and all)...and another week or so (Sweetwater testing all units then calling out to the ones who pre-ordered one) before we could get the unit to our homes. Maybe by April we'll get to play with it!!! Let's hope Sweetwater has made a big order because once it is officially here, sales might go crazy with the unit.
At this point I am really tempted to purchase from Thomann (my brother lives in France and he can buy me one to be shipped here) but like most of the US musicians here, i'm reluctant to having it ship back to Europe if anything were to go wrong with the unit. Also in the meantime, I don't mind waiting for some (major) bugs to be fixed first.
Sold my Axe Fx Ultra so, now playing amps only while waiting for the Kemper!
It's somewhat amazing (a little strange) that no one from Kemper would just pop up in this thread and give us some update (and clear reasons on delays) regarding US availability. I mean so far, they have been lightning fast at getting back to me (my own experience) regarding questions about the US units by email...
Anyhow...can't wait enough for April already!

Kemper's probably getting all the US users back for how Fractal treated the Europeans. : )
