Not a Kemper owner yet, but I'm planning to buy a Stage soon. I thought it was a little strange that it doesn't have an expression pedal built in, like the Helix for example, but then I thought a bigger version might be released later. Then I had another idea, what if there was a way to clamp the Mission expression pedal to the side of the Stage? They seem to be the same length (depth?) more or less.That would be a nice aftermarket option, and of course they could also be sold as a bundle. I know you can mount the Stage and Mission next to each other on a pedalboard (which is what I'll eventually do), but it would be nice to also have one unit you can move around with just a soft bag. Just wondering if there are plans for something like that, or a bigger unit with the exp. pedal built in, thanks.
Any thoughts of having a Stage+Expression solution?

Pretty sure there won’t be a bigger unit.
Kempers' philosophy is that everybody prefers a different pedal.
I for one like my Dunlop DVP-3's much better than the pedal in my Helix Floor.

Yes, I guess it might not make sense financially either to produce another unit. But I do think that, since there is an official exp. pedal, at least a way to clamp them together for a semi-permanent solution would not be too expensive to make and might come in handy for a lot of players.

I'm left handed so a built in pedal doesn't work for me

Same here. I'm a lefty but play right handed. Still I want my pedals left of the Stage or Remote.

The clamp I was thinking of could maybe let you decide if you'll mount it on the left or on the right of the Stage. Not sure how easy that would be to make though.

I prefer my pedal on the left and offset. Also, a built-in pedal is one more thing that can wear out/fail.

I used my Kemper Stage and Mission EP this weekend through a ZLX-12P for a rear monitor (we use wireless IEM's but I like to have the feel of something behind me and plus getting the controlled feedback). The setup is glorious in sound and feel, the Kemper stage sounded fantastic. I think I'm going to get me a pedal board to mount them both eventually though. Looking at a Pedaltrain classic 2 with flight case for $229 US. I think that would be a perfect fit, but I'm also looking at the Temple Audio boards as well.

Have you seen the Thon case on Thomann that houses the Stage + EP-1? I’m sorely tempted by it. By the time you’ve bought a Pedaltrain large enough, with hard case, you’re in the same territory price-wise.

https://m.thomann.de/gb/thon_case_k…arch=1569268244Yeah but it's 4-6 weeks before available according to what I see and the Pedaltrain has an actual board that I can remove from the case and use to combine the Kemper Stage and the EP
