it would be nice if Kemper talked to companies like EHX (who make excellent pedals for guitar-synthesis) and Boss (their latest guitar synthesizer) to have a version of their pedals as plugin into the Kemper. I'm thinking of the Mellotron pedal for example of EHX. I don't want a board with dozens of pedals. If I could just buy it (even for the same price as the hardware pedal) and have it included into a stompbox or modulation module, that would be great...
EHX & Boss Plugins

I love the idea but I would be amazed if Boss or EHX would go for this, there isn't much in it for them - the Kemper market is very small compared to the rest of the guitar market.

Yeah, that sounds right. But on the other, it doesn't have to be an exclusive deal. They could still sell their hardware pedals if they wish. Sounds like a potential business case to me...

It's a lovely idea but in realistic terms the market for selling a Kemper stomp is limited to only Kemper users, which is a tiny proportion of the guitar market, reduced even further by the number of users who would pay out for a simulation of a pedal when their is a heap built in from factory. Like all companies in these days of their resources aren't unlimited and would almost certainly be better spent developing gear that isn't limited to a relatively small market.

The market doesn't have to be small. The core of the code would be the same for all (whether it is a hardware pedal or a plugin). Only the interface with the host would differ. The host could be Kemper, but also Logic, Cubase, etc. Maybe also Helix etc.
