KPA Profiler Remote "To Buy or Not to Buy"

I know that I sure can't live without mine! If you already have another switching solution that works fine, maybe not worth it to invest more for the Remote. I haven't had a chance to use anything other than the Kemper Remote with my KPA so I can't compare it to anything else but i must say its absolutely vital to my performances now to toggle between all my profiles live!

If you don't currently have a MIDI controller that suits your needs, getting a Remote could save you many hours of set up time, compared to setting up the KPA and a controller from another manufacturer.

How much is that time savings worth to you?

Mine was worth every penny... Plus two mission kpa expression pedals...

While I'm not the biggest fan of the remote I still think it is the best and easiest controller for the Profiler, I'd buy it.

If you don't need to control a lot of other midi outboard gear the Remote is definitely the way to go.

If you just want to change rigs in performance/browser, take an old boss gt5 (80€) (i use a old Boss gt3 but there are only 4 swiths)

If you want to change rig and controling stomps or fx/wah : take a fcb1010 (the midi editor is very easy)

If you have some good pedals (post or pre ), take the G-Lab gsc4 cause there are pre and post loops (6) and it works with every midi stuffs and it's the same price than the kemper controler.

if you don't want to controle an other midi stuff, that you don't have pedal and that you don't want to configure your controler, take the kemper controler.

My first plus I can think of for the kemper foot pedal is 1 cable. And not a flimsy one, a good solid one. The second is a nice big readable display that you don't have to lay on the floor to see. A small footprint. Not too little / too many footswitches. Made to work with the profiler. Built like a tank but not as heavy as one. That is good enough right there. Other ones are ok, but in the end I think it is worth the price since both the pedal and the unit work as one.

Even though it irritates the Hell out of me sometimes, I would probably buy the Remote again

I have one, a Kemper remote, and I like it a lot but don´t use is for live gigs because I think that my crappy Behringer fcb1010 is more convenient on stage.( with Uno4Kemper chip)
It has one stomp switch more and a integrated volume and wah pedal , doens´t have a big display, but I use my Power rack display .

I don't care for the way the buttons are layed out. Thank goodness I don't use the looper I had to block the looper button from working.
The kemper doesn't send CC's to external MIDI gear.

I think it would have been better to make all switches and LED's the same and allow us to program which does what

I have the remote because It came as a bundle when I purchased my Kemper. I don't play out live so I haven't used it much. If you already have a Behringer FCB1010 and your going to sell your Eleven Rack you may be better off keeping the FCB1010 and just buying the Kemper chip. It will cost a lot less and you will have the two expression pedals.

The remote is the shit! I love how it syncs with one ethernet cable. So clean! Sold all my pedals.. Just the remote and a KP-1!

My recommendation? Buy.
