Hey everyone, looking for some advice here. I bought a Stage right when they came out, and after getting two broken units I had to get a refund. I've waited years for a Kemper, and even with this bad experience I would still like to get one. The Stage is the ideal format for me, and it's the best price of all the profilers. The only thing is, I don't know if I can trust the Stage in the long run, whereas I know the Head and Rack are solid. Even with a 3 year warranty, I'm hesitant, because it's a lot of money and for that price I want to get something that will last me a very long time.
What do you guys think? In recent months, have you heard of a lot of hardware problems with the Stage? If there are any people who have been in the Kemper game for a long time, do you know if the early Heads and Racks were unreliable for a while before they got them to be rock solid? How much of a gamble do you guys think it would be to get a Stage at this point? Best to not risk it and get a Head or Rack? Or wait another year or so to get a Stage? Any thoughts would be really appreciated. Thank you!
