I asked about the price, and he mentioned that the design goal was $600US.
So.....you knew all along?!!!!!!! You are a bad man Mr Dlaut. You didnt tell us.
He tells somebody, at random, the pricing, even though the boards were on fire with conjecture what it may be?
Did he tell you to keep your lip zipped or what?
Busted!
As far as the looper goes. I am in understanding of both camps.
I am not sure which is right or wrong (if there is such a thing) but I have to say it can be a little hard to swallow, for some, knowing that the Kemper itself has this feature built in for the most part. That is not too hard to understand.
Now if it was a hardware installation in the remote I would be entirely in the Kemper company camp. They could say, hey we are offering a pedal effect with the remote. This is truly the only way you can get this because the hardware is in the remote.
Hey, I am all for a company making money. I am self employed so I understand. No profit, no company, no product.
I do not understand how the hardware and software work in the Kemper.
From what is existing with the hardware, can new software be written for NEW effects? If this is true, by all means charge for it.
On the other hand, is there a bit of hardware in the Kemper just for a looper? If so this is where that line gets a bit thin. I could say, hey I already paid for that bit of hardware especially if it does nothing else for the Kemper. Even though you may have not written it into the software yet.
Either way, it is what it is and your wallets will show your approval or disdain.
Right or wrong, I opened mine but like I said before I can be a dumbass at times.
Boy I cant wait though.......waiting for that brown truck or whoever is delivering it !
