Hey guys,
a few days ago i talked with another kemper user about how cool the kemper features are, but that the kemper seems
more to be a tool for recording, profiling, experimenting with sound and stuff. Yes it also has the performance mode,
but it still providing lots of features which are not neccessarily needed for playing live. As far as i know most of the
soundshaping stuff is happening on a microcontroller and smd parts. That inspired me to the idea of how cool it would
be to have a small device/pedal which uses a profile which i created/edited before on the kemper.
It would provide lots of advantages for people traveling alot, playing live etc.
- Easy to transport, no big case or rack needed.
- With external power supply it could also be put onto a pedal/fx board, to save space.
- You could use a seperate power supply (battery etc., depends on the power needed) so u could could plugin a headset, and play while taking a train for example.

Device features could (!) be:
- Footswitch, to mute the sound and use the pedal as tuner during playing pauses.
- Optional send/return jacks to include seperate pedals into the fx chain
- Headphone out - for practicing silently or checking the sound
- Main output jacks depending on what is needed
- Power jack for external power supply
- Display to show the name of the profile, tuning, master volume or something else. This display is just an example.
- On Off switch, to save battery when not used.
- USB slot for loading the profile saved by the big brother kemper
I know it sounds like i'm dreaming to much, haha, but i would just like to know what you think about the idea. Is it realizable? Would you use it? What features would be missing?
Thanks for reading
