Looks to be well thought out. Thanks for not including expression pedals as integral to the unit but as plug in add ons!

Thanks CK for sharing this with us :thumbup:

Just a small detail to improve usability (IMHO). I prefer to have the bank button on the le left side as I use ME expresssion pedals with my right foot and therefore with bank button on the left, presset or effect switches are closer to the pedals.

Looks excellent to me and very thought through.
The top row of switches is hopefully elevated a bit from the lower one?

I like it (and i like the 4 expression pedals ins... that means that something big is cooking in the CK 's kitchen :thumbsup:

).
Anyway i think that i midi in/out, to be able to use it without the Profiler or with other stuff (think to Eventide pedals) without long cables all around, would be a winning choice.
I don't like the bank up and down on the righ side, but probably it's a my problem because i'm left footed (yes, i'm not left handed!).

Quoted from "ckemper"

1. I will not combine Tap and Tuner, since a number of people will want to use the Tuner button as a mute button as well, for changing the guitar etc. This should not be in a position where you accidently press it. The Tap on the other hand should be as accessible as possible.

Hi Christoph,

I would recommend you to combine Tap & Tempo nevertheless. Just implement a 3 second press to activate the tuner. Only few people will accidentally step on the switch for that long, but I guess a majority will prefer to use that free switch for another functionality. Just my 2 cents. As you might have seen, I just finished the first prototype of my own little KPA footswitch:

This might be a valid point.
Everybody: swap the 4 effects buttons and the two bank buttons?
