I had to look up the thread title to remind me what this thread is about.
An editor would be nice, but to be honest Kemper have given me way more than I bargained for when I bought it few years ago, so anything they do is yet another bonus that I'll gratefully take.

Ideal, that's cleared all that up then.

So are we getting an editor or not?

This can be done with foot controllers other than the Remote.

Wouldn't it be nicer if the Remote were capable of these steps?

I don't think it can be made simpler yet, alas.
I think a cool feature would be
1. When you press stop record to begin loop play back, that that press also preselects a choosen rig to play over
2. When you press stop loop to ende loop play back, that that press also preselects a choosen rig to continue with
3. When you clear the loop, that press also preselects a choosen rig to carry on.
It would certainly give a lot more flexibility and fluiditity to the looper.

Same here. Had a WTF moment and then twiddled the brightness knob on the remote. All seems good now.

I've got one. It works flawlessly, never let me down in the two odd years I've had it. It is bigger and built like a tank, it is not the lightest of things either. I went for it because I've got big feet and have zero regrets on the purchase.
A robust piece of kit that works great with the KPA and the remote.

Obviously to distinguish the vintage remotes from the rest

Kemper always seems to beat their own path. Innovating and coming up with unique and elegant solutions. The KPA itself is/was an unheard concept. The devolpement of the software and implementation of new features is both different and very welcome. I,ve never had an electronic unit that matures and improves with age. A concept of drastically improving something without the money sucking parasites of the world milking it for every last cent. With that kind of track record why would you expect them to blindly follow everyone elses method for an editor?

Huh? Suggestions here to follow the herd in, terms of editor design, seems to fly in the face of everything that makes Kemper great.

l use Unobtainium. Encased in the gasses of the lower atmosphere of Neptune, that contain 99.99999999999999999% material that does not exist on the periodic table. This gas, sealed in a platinum polymer, creates the environment needed for the unobtainium to work at the optimum levels needed by today's demanding guitarist.
No more misplaced notes with this cable, the unobtainium senses what and when you meant to play, and an added bonus with the kpa, decides on the optimum profile needed for that particular passage of music.
This incredible cable is now on sale at an unbelievable festive price of 0.001 cents per Planck length.
Exciting times for the discerning professional.

Isn't it because the kpa is constantly evolving? How do you design a comprehensive editor before many of it's features are even implemented? Just redesign the editor every time you want release new stuff?

l thought I'd arrived with the v pick screamer back along. Initially they were great, but for the price wore down at an alarming rate, losing their edge and benefit. The rate they needed replacing made the cost of them ludicrous.
I've since moved on to dava rock control and am very happy with them. Any technical aspect of playing doesn't feel at all hindered by this pick, my ability sure but not the pick, as previous picks have done. And it is that hindered feeling that makes me seek out a better ( for me) pick. An added bonus for me is a dava outlasts a v pick- a pack of 6 dava's cost approximately 1 v pick. It's not always about throwing the most amount of money at a problem to solve it.

Thanks again for everybody's thoughts and opinions. You've all sold me, one way or another, on stainless steel for my next refret
One follow up. Which make of stainless steel fretwire to go for? It'll be for an Ibanez S5470, if that makes a difference. And I do like the fret size it came with, whatever that was.
Thanks again for all your help.

Before you decide to refret, have you checked if a fret leveling wouldn't be enough ?

Probably. Have done that before though and, l like big fat jumbo frets, it completely changed the feel of the guitar. Couldn't wait to refret it, begrudging the wasted effort.

Thanks for all the input so far. @Dean R
you raise some interesting points. While l do appreciate your concerns from the tech side of things, that for me will be reflected in the price of the job by someone competent.
Does anyone have experience with
1. The longevity of ss frets, do they wear out?
2. Do ss frets wear strings out at a noticeably quicker rate?
Thanks again for all your inputs, valued as ever.

Hi to all,
The frets on my guitar are starting to look sorry for themselves and l can see a refret on the horizon. So l thought I'd take the chance to ask all you good folks your opinions on stainless steel, or any other options out there. All and any input is greatly appreciated.

None of the scare monger stories put out over brexit have come true ( suprise suprise). The pound has taken a hit because of the uncertainty in the markets of the direction the U.K. will be taking.. Once the uncertainty is lifted, the pound is very likely going to get stronger than before.

Even if you believe in 432 resonating with the universe and bringing you closer to god, equal temperament negates all that new age hogwash straight away.

All seems very reasonable and completely above board to me. I mean who in their right mind would forgo a few dozen feet of cable for something trivial, like a house for example?
