I am happy that when the "next spontaneous call" for a jam arrives I will be able to just grab a guitar and this Player and there I go..swuuush..out of the door..

I guess in the end it is really all about the size and the time you save for certain situations..and these situations are not "doing pro-/semipro things..".

Most likely all the situations I would like to have the player are about "having fun with my homies" somewhere with a FOH or an old FRFR waiting..

Why would I need tons of fx and more pedals for morphing for this; Highly unlikely.

Would I use the player for work in the studio or a bigger gig; No. This is why I have the rack and a extra laptop(for the studio) and the head/remote/3 EPs for "serious gigs".

Choose your weapons wisely.

And I am absolutely willing to pay 700€ to get this player just for having fun with my beloved rigs I use for years now. Even with half of the fx I never use.

Peace

In the manual it says: "Since OS 10.2 the USB connection used for Rig Manager and USB audio can be used for MIDI transmission, too. USB MIDI mirrors the functionality of the MIDI IN and MIDI OUT sockets." I thought the usb connection "used for rig manager and usb audio" was the USB-B port on the Kemper (so the one on the back of my Kemper Rack).

I'm asking since in my case, I can use my Line6 FBV Shortboard V2 to control my Kemper rack using my PC (by using a DAW to send MIDI USB commands from my FBV shortboard to my Kemper ), but I can't use my FBV shortboard directly connected to my USB-A connection from my Kemper Rack (the one in the front).

The USB-A port does power up my FBV Shortboard, but it does not seem to receive the USB midi commands to my FBV Shortboard. So I thought the USB-A port on the Kemper (Rack) did not work for USB midi (and only the USB-B in the back could be used for this).

If it does work: can I use this in combination with my FBV shortboard? I think my FBV shortboard is USB class compliant, since it immediately works as USB controller on f.e. an iPhone or Ipad. So if the USB-A on the Kemper (Rack) works for USB midi, would it also work with my FBV Shortboard? I don't have any USB-B to USB-B cable (and connecting two USB-B cables using a usb-A to usb-A adapter does not seem to work, this does not power up my FBV Shortboard, so I haven't been able to test this.

Another question: in case the Rack USB-A port in the front cannot be used for my FBV Shortboard, would the USB-A port on the new Kemper Player work? It seems in the manual for the Kemper Player, both USB ports can be used for USB midi? So the new Kemper Profiler Player would work in combination with a Line 6 FBV Shortboard v2?

Time to sell my old FBC1010 (with uno4kemper chip) , it just got a lot more valuable .

They told me that they'd prefer it if a user contacted them directly and requested whichever specific version he or she wanted.

So, I'd open a support ticket, specify v9.0.8.46641 and they'll sent it to you Steve.

Beauty! One of my fav speakers.

That said, I am a fan of the imprints available.

Well i found out what it actually is. Its a vibrolux with a roger mayer voodoo-1 in front

With clean pedal platform, I mean a clean amo that takes real pedals really well.

I don't use the Kemper as an audio interface so it doesn't matter to me; I don't use the S/PDIF either.. I'm using a 32 channel digital mixer. Just a short time ago the Kemper didn't even have USB audio and I never gave it a second thought. The mixer can operate at 44.1 or 48 but I still use 44.1 because of the devices mentioned in my previous post and my ear doesn't hear the difference anyway. Looks like for now if you have to have higher sample rates your only options are to use S/PDIF or invest in gear that can handle it.

Side Note: This discussion belongs in Feature Requests.

Put a set of thicker feet on it.

I hate to say it because I know it's been requested before but a speed control on the Rotary and Tremolo effect would make life easier.

I don't know what else to try. The tone is there! just not the right panning speed.

I had to be careful to cut all the pieces correctly so I can re-use everything:

I re-riveted it all back together:

Then, to figure out how to permanently and safely mount the Kemper into the tray. I used a 1/2" plywood covered with 2mm EVA foam and some black felt for nice looks, and then used longer screws (keeping the rubber feet of the Kemper still in place, so there's air space under it) to mount it all the way through the base board:

Then after pressing the whole thing into the lid, I secured the wood to the case lid with 4 screws around the outside:

Finally, for the remaining pedals I needed to keep in my rig, I bought an off-the-shelf briefcase, removed the rear hinges and added 2 more latches, then re-used the pedal board ramp that used to be inside the Coffin case and fit it into the new briefcase:

A trick I learned a long time ago for attaching pedals is to use a Bicycle Chain, break it apart and use all the tiny links as screw mounts for the pedals:
