The lunchbox' leather handle

Only with the leather strap you can give 'em real punishment.

The leather strap feels solid but I'm interested in knowing how dependable it is from other users (and maybe the Kemper staff), still using it with care.

I choose to use the strap because its so friggin cool

I've taken it off so I can put shit on top of it more comfortably!

Come at me.

I have picked up with it twice, but no longer do as I don't want to stretch it cause I like the way it looks snug so I lift at the sides.

.. wow.. please stop this thread.. it's.. just stop

alright if you don't like talking about the leather strap how about giving me some help on setting the Bias on my Kemper......I can't find the spot to adjust it. Maybe it's under the strap?

be gentle as you look for the spot.. we all want that leather to be nice and tight

Yeah probably!

so I use the leather strap when ever I move the unit around.. but what I've been thinking about is replacing the strap buttons with a contraption that would allow the unit to be locked onto a stand and then be able to rotate and lock the head at different angles.. it'd be great for studio use but also for live work.. it would make the unit more secure on a mixer stand..

now if I just had the time and energy to find the parts and make it happen...

How many of you lunchbox players actually use the leather handle? I always grab it using the opening in the back. I get a more solid grip that way and don't want to stretch out the handle.

Yes, I'm running out of things to post about.

Please tell me you don't move your guitars using your straps then!!

I honestly never thought of using the open space. Possibly because creepy crawly things like Black Widows could be in there. I only grab what I can see.

When I wear gloves, I stomp on them first. I don't want to have to do that to my Kemper!

Hmm, where did the "don" go?

Well, I use the strap to safely hold my sennheiser wireless receiver...It´s there for over a year and the leather does not seem to wear out at all. I have stored two power adapters (one for sennheiser and the other one for my FC300 floorboard) in the back of my kemper and all cables in the Namba Kemper Bag. Going to a gig is grabbing my guitar, my floorboard and the KPA Bag. Done!

2.3.2 really changed the feel of the strap for me. Something they did threw off the Sag.
Thankfully since 2.4.2 it's back to normal and responds to my touch just like it always used to...
Now, when it hits the spot it burns like a beast. But it's possible I'm using it in a way other than what was intended...

It is a Badge of Honour to use a piece of gear enough to wear out/break the carrying strap.

I read this thread yesterday, I travel to the club i'm working at, in Dubai with my KPA pretty often carrying the strap.

So I rely on this leather strap !!! Well when I slept, during the night I had a nightmare, swear this is true,

I was carrying my KPA and the strap broke and my KPA hit the floor and didn't work anymore!!!

I'm now dreaming of my Kemper.

Maybe I should start a new thread Who dreams of their Kemper haha

Maybe you need an intervention, haha
