I wouldn't like to be misunderstood and no offense to OP... As i wrote, i was in the exact same thought...
I don't want to open a battle between traditional combo vs multi-fx/digital world or one with bad players with excellent devices vs virtuosos with bad equipment... I assume there's a geek part in every one of us as we own a Kemper....We moved forward the conservative rig... We are curious and like to explore new territories....
I just wanted to say that my Stage fills all specifications i was looking for ;
- Amp sound/feeling
- All-in one solution
- Versatile
- Ergonomic
- Simple
All updates are just fantastic, and don't change things above.... I think if a new Kemper product is launched we won't be lost too ....
But i'm more on the "what for ?"
I don't understand the "i want more processing power" for example. I'm not an IT ingineer and i don't care about how all that stuff works,
I'm just a user. IMO, if you miss something, just tell it and the team will do its job to find the solution.... I just don't catch what this kind of improvment would change ?! It's more concret to know that you want ; 6 delays in parallel, etc....
Now, Kemper has to live and free updates could be a strange business model
On the other hand, They can signify they're on another business model with an "eternal" plateform that evolves all over the years, meaning ; "come and buy our devices it will last forever" (or for a long long time), don't be afraid that it becomes obsolete sooner ; it won't"
They could link the best of the two worlds (traditional rig/digital world)....And for the moment this is the the route they take
