Reading all the posts with interest.
I don’t think I would personally have a use for it as it stands.
No IEC mains socket pretty much ruled it out for me straight away for using it anywhere near a stage.
Also, the 4 FX slots while great having the reverb and delay slots post amp still… well again, the pre stack slot effects are no good for things like chorus or pitch effects (for me).
I really do not like the sound of a chorus in front of a high gain amp. Although, I do use a tiny tiny fraction of flange before the amp block. That flange is only on about 17% mix if I recall correctly.
Then, after the amp slot, I use a micro pitch shift and a chorus before delay and reverb.
I already have two stage units (one a backup) for gigs and a toaster and remote in my studio so I guess this Player isn’t for me.
On the positive side, to use it as a tool to carry all my amp profiles to a studio in a tiny box is pretty cool.
I have been wanting the concept of a player version of the Kemper for ages. Especially for using at other peoples studios and fly gigs.
In my mind though, it was a smaller unit than the stage but still with an with IEC socket that enabled you to use the full rigs and not stripped down ones.
I would have been very interested if it didn’t have the external power supply and had more effects slots. Especially post amp modulation effects that could be used before the delay and reverb. Few other things too from reading the specs. Pitch block etc.
Anyway, good luck to everyone at Kemper with the new Player and I hope you sell a ton of them.
