Why are remotes hard to find

I ordered mine directly from Kemper. They are normally in stock when I’ve checked.

Individual Kemper Remotes are exclusively sold in the Kemper Online Shop(s).

I bought mine 2nd hand off Facebook Marketplace but it took a while for one to show up. I've found that most people want to sell them as a package with the Kemper itself.

And also, if you've got the Kemper and remote, i cant think of many reasons why anyone would sell off the remote on its own.

The lad I got my remote off was selling because he didn't use his Kemper for gigs any more, just recording. He said it wasn't needed and wanted the money instead.

Not true... I bought mine from Amazon Japan (next day delivery directly from Amazon) and there are quite a few shops here in Japan selling them individually.

Well, things can change over time, no doubt. But when the Remote was introduced in early 2015, Kemper stated that the individual Remote will be sold exclusively in their own online store. Other retailers would only sell the Remote in bundles with the Profiler. So far I have no indication that this has generally changed.

I got mine from the Kemper store. Took a little while to ship (but not Kemper's fault), but they had them in stock and it went out right away. I can't see myself selling it w/o selling the Kemper too.

On that note, can't really see me selling the Kemper at all.

Never realized that the remote is only available by itself direct from Kemper.

Here in the US, none of the major music retailers nor Amazon has it available a la carte. Neither Anderton's or Thomann Music do either. I'm sure the Japanese have their own ideas on how to get things done.

I'm in the US. They were out of stock for a little while direct from Kemper, but once I placed the order I had it in two days.
