Hey guys,
I really love my KPA but I still miss some of the "crazy effects" - especially the Step Filter/Phaser and Reverse Delay....
Since the Kemper Dev. team doesn't seem to care about those feature requests I think it's time to look for a good companion for the KPA FX Loop..
So far I know of 2 - quite affordable - devices that would do the trick:
1. the small footprint Zoom pedals have a huge selection of algorithm, so does the for example MS50G, the only let down is missing MIDI connectors, which is fixable via an USB Host converter, like you can see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG0Eb8LrL00
Alternatively the G1on, G1X, G3, G3X, G5, MS70CDR would work with the same "Midi hack".
Unfortunately the MS100BT with Bluetooth and even more effects via StompShare app extensions has no USB.
2. The Line 6 M Series of pedals - especially the M5.
The variety of effects might not be as comprehensive as with the zoom pedals, but it does sport a well done midi implementation and proper midi connectors.
The Eventide H9/Modfactor/Timefactor would be other choices that I'm aware of and the Roger Linn Adrenalinn might be considered the real classic for the filter stuff - but these are quite expensive IMHO.
Is there any other FX device you would recommend?
Does anybody already use a setup like this?
Do you guys out there have any experiences and thoughts to share?
