That is my favourite guitar Fender has ever made. I have a black one, modified with a black guard, electrosocket jack and a Seymour Duncan BG1400 in the bridge. I'm keeping eyes out for a deal on a butterscotch. And I'm currently building a tele based on the VHR52, but mahogany with maple top and no guard.
The 50's Hot Rod had a sweet, sweet neck, but the WRHB was nothing on the SD SM1 the VHR52 has.
Enjoy it!!
Well to me, the idea of profiling a pedal would be to use in front of your amp profile of choice, whether is be Vox, Marshall etc etc. Of course the KPA as it stands doesn't allow this - you can profile the pedal going into a particular amp. So, in my mind this isn't a pedal profile, it's an amp profile with that pedal in the chain. Doesn't really matter though, the profiles sound great.
I have to say, I was sceptical of the idea when it was mentioned. But I've downloaded the free Klon and SS3 rigs. Forget about the pedal profiling side of it (which I honestly still don't quite get), these are killer sounding profiles in their own right!
I would have thought turning up cab volume would change the sound. Wouldn't it bring out the character of the cabinet more? (I've not tried it, and my kpa is at work so I can't test it yet)
1. Shimmer reverb
2. Stomp delay
3. Performance management in RM
4. Free fx routing
Love it! Once the remote arrives I might have to do a similar thing on the fcb as a backup.
Here's the family:
Kemper Power Rack, with a Hardwire Supernatural in the loop.
The case under the KPA has the FCB1010 with Uno4Kemper chip, soon to be replaced by the Remote
EVH 2x12 cab
And the guitars, left to right:
1997 Jackson USA AT1T with DiMarzio Eric Johnson pickups
2013 Fender American Standard Tele (Esquired), SD Custom Shop Pearly Gates for Tele in the bridge, Shadow Kill-pot on the tone.
2012 Fender Vintage Hot Rod 52 Tele, SD Custom Shop BG1400 in the bridge
2012 Gibson SG Standard. Stock (gasp!!) This rarely gets played though...
Fender Rock n Roll Voodoo acoustic
It's mostly the 2 teles that get used. And I'm finding a disturbing lack of GAS on all fronts lately. But that's a good thing :p

I signed up for the early bird, but haven't heard peep yet... Ready to order though!

In really rough ,rounded numbers :
Cost of parts,labour ,logistic and production cannot be higher than 100 $ .
Add another 100 $ for R&D =200 $
Add 50 $ margins =250 $.
Everything above that will be a robbery on fractalistic way.
One could put forward a similar argument about the Anderson guitars in your sig. But you're willing to pay the premium for the premium product. Why should the controller be any different?
I m just trying to explain why this footcontroler is not perfect. Sorry if i cannot do this here and don't follow the opinion that you are trying to impose too.
I think the issue is that you come across sounding as though because the Remote isn't exactly what you want, then it must be a terrible piece of gear. When you mean to say "It's not right for my needs".
Hi Don,
Currently I have the Dunlop Clyde McCoy reissue sitting at work if you'd like to add that to the stable?
Hey Eru - always good to see a fellow Kiwi!! I've just done a similar pedal journey and shrunk the PT Pro to a PT2 to a PT Mini, which still doesn't get used with the KPA. I just can't bring myself to sell my fuzzes, my delay or my phaser (RedWitch phaser, go the NZ products!!) :p
I got the same feeling putting a SD BG1400 into the bridge of my Tele. Fun times!
No-one has the RST?
Has anyone had any experience in using the CAE RST foot controller with the Kemper? I really dig the form factor of the smaller one, as I'm visualising that, a PT mini above it with a few analog pedals, and 2 expression pedals. The only real concern I have is the direct mode - I'm assuming that this would be an IA mode to control the KPA effects?
/edit I considered racking the pedals with the KPA, but I like the idea of having them on a PT Mini with the controller, as it makes it dead easy of I want to use them separate from the KPA rig. 
Much better, and loving it from the phone now! Though did anyone else get the "kemper website is undergoing maintenance" and hope that it was to put details of the KFC release on the site? 
Not that I did... no, not at all!!
Of those 2 I prefer the second. Though my ideal (like Clifford it seems) would be
I II III IV D U
1 2 3 4 5 Tap
But really as long as tap is on the bottom row I'm a happy camper!
