floor kemper)

I had my Kemper on the floor at last rehearsal as I ran direct and didn't think about bringing some sort of stand. I stepped too close on my guitar cable near the jack and unplugged the unit. My heart skipped a beat as for a moment I thought I had broken in the input jack. Maybe I'm a cheap bastard, but a > $1500 device on the floor is too much for my heart to handle. And if your hoping for a Line 6 priced product with Kemper tone, pretty sure your going to have to wait quite a long time for that...

I second this- and a "basic verson" Kemper is far off as well IMO.

I got my KPA on an IKEA basement shelf in the Band room. The Guitar cable is wrapped around the shelf Foot 3 times and goes with plenty of slack into the KPA input. The reason: I pulled a Laney Head of the cab with the guitar cable, while in "Action". I do not want this to Happen to my toaster, nor will it ever sit next to my 1010 on the floor!

PS: this autocorrection on the iPad sucks!

The KPA floor controller will be here soon and you can have a nice sturdy pedal with readout on the floor.... and keep the electric toaster® (kpa) in a nice safe location.

i didn`t talk about cheap price , main idea is - formfactor and reduced functional ...

you mentioned reduced cost. what functionality removed, the profiling? Well, you can keep dreaming guess. Would seem strange to ask a product to remove the very feature which makes it unique. My point...I'm not putting a $1,500 electronic device on the floor and stepping on it.

You need to loose weight, Will.

That's not a big deal when the product is strong enough to support it. For instance, I never had problem with the G-System on the floor.

kpa with (podhd500 ) (boss gt 10) formfactor - with only profile player( without profiling ) - and reduced cost ...
i mean, this thing - kill all line6 ,boss,digitech stuff in the market .....and will be ideal solution for live gigs ..,tours...

+ 100 for that

want a "RIG-PLAYER" too
not to replace the KPA, but as a 2. (3.,4.) device
- for practicing (everywhere)
- to drive a 2. (3.,4.) ampsound parallel (like fanz plase with real tubeamps)

RIGPLAYER:
- small as possible
- without any edeting, tonestack / volumen (global?) and midi controlable
- 200 - 300 € (registreted KPA users only )

i've built one. [Blocked Image: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8557148/fotos/_transfer/temporary/KFP_b_pedal.jpg]

Some people want a KPA at Line6 prices. I hope that will never happen.

No, thats not a KPA, thats a Kemper without the ability of the profiling process, a KA if you want. One letter less => lower price
Joke aside, a pure Rig/Profile Player isn´t that bad idea, imho. Meanwhile there are a lot of stuff on the Rig Exchange, or the chance to get some from TAF or Soundside. Think about all the younger guys sittin and jamming/playing in their bedrooms;)

Always looking for less to carry to and from practice and gigs and I would buy a floor Kemper the minute it was announced. I do understand why they went rack first, but really hoping Kemper will do the floor format too.
