Is there a way to learn what year my Kemper was built?
Welcome.
AFAIK no.
I think Kemper staff could tell production facts according to the serial no.
Why not ask them directly?
-
I asked them a couple days ago, still no response.

I sent another inquiry. Thanks for your help.

Props for the username.

Curious, why do you want to know?
I bought mine second hand and I think i've had it about 6 years but not sure....but as there are few mechanical parts, the hardware has changed very little and I'm running the latest software version, its of no interest to me.

I believe that very early on there were EITHER production issues with the LED's, or the original components had a propensity for failing. Aside from that, I have not heard of any serious hardware issues.... and even the LED's can't really be considered that serious IMO since if you use it live, you likely rely on the foot controller, and if you use it with a computer for recording, you most certainly would now use the editor ;).

Yeah that was the only hardware issue I heard and I would suspect those defects would be visible in any second hand unit.
-
Yeah Guy. The defective components in that bad batch of LEDs early on would've revealed themselves eons ago, so unless there're obvious faults IMHO one can assume that a 2nd-hand unit is good-to-go as long as it powers up and produces sweet tones.

It's not a big deal anyway. The rack version didn't even have those extra LEDs.
