Yes, it's nice to have more than one expression pedal but I only have two feet and generally at least one of those needs to stay on the ground
Hehe, play while sitting down.

Scokzy, you mean a pedal like this?

Lower one.
Well, 6 1\4" sockets do not imply 6 expression pedals: you might plug in switches as well, as we have said early in this thread. Of course, let's hope for the highest versatility and the smartest implementation
Well, we know that there can be at least four expression pedals and I'd hate to see those two at the back of the Kemper going to waste
Pre-amp volume, post-amp volume, wah, pitch shifter, delay time, gain control
See, six great reasons to have six expression pedals
One thing that i think could be absent is a buffered/unbuffered input and a output, to plug
in the guitar to the board and then go with the signal and ethernet cables together to the kemper...
What do you think about this?
I may be too dumb to get that, but if we could plug the guitar into the Kemper Remote, that would either mean, that the KR has to have a A/D converter built in (which I doubt it has - too expensive) or that the precious signal of the guitar would be transferred into the KPA via an ethernet cable. The latter option can be ruled out (soundwise). The first version is unlikely. So I expect the KR to be what it is supposed to be: a footswitch matched for the KPA - no less.

....Although that WOULD make for a more... "Remote" remote....

i was thinking also at an output plug, not about sending the signal via ethernet.
this could be useful if Like me your kemper is usually far from the position in the stage and I cannot plug the Guitar straight to the kemper...

You morbid guy
The question would be: how many times would you use all these functions in the same rig?
Wouldn't something like that be possible already with the Wah Pedal Booster stomp in any of slots A-D combined with the regular volume pedal post-amp?
I don't see any way of having an expression pedal controlled volume boost pre stomps at the same time as the same post amp. The manual says "With the Wah Pedal Booster, you can use the Wah Pedal to control the volume, instead of having to use a dedicated volume pedal. The parameters are identical to the “Volume Pedal” parameters." which sounds like you could use that.....but at the expense of the wah pedal.
With FCB Uno4Kemper though, perhaps that means the left exp pedal could be used pre, the right exp pedal post and a pedal plugged directly into the Kemper as the wah itself?
Can anyone confirm? That would be great....
Happy to pull this into a new and separate thread if that makes more sense?
Cheers,
Andy

Go wireless!! Works great.

You can make that a Feature Request for the Kemper II's controller. The hardware design for this one was announced as finalized earlier in this thread, and there was no mention of any analog guitar audio interface in the Remote.
prsgary is right on target - wireless works great.
Hehe, play while sitting down.
One foot on my volume
One foot on my wah
Fingers on the fretboard
And right hand on whammy bar
Those who want four pedals
Really must be sick
They must have fancy footwork
Or be known as 'Clever Dick'
Definetly a clever dick...
Just... My brain is too stupid to use it.

My FCB1010 is at the rehearsal space right now so I can't try this, but yes, this is what I meant and in theory it should work (but, as you point out, at the expense of having a Wah in that rig).
And yes, the idea is that your expression pedal is used as an additional volume pedal through the Wah Pedal Booster stomp.
Having two "actual" volume pedals would be a mild violation of midi logic since there is only one CC#7, the controller used by convention to control volume.
Edit -- Sorry, I seem to have misread your question -- your main point was about using a third expression pedal, plugged into the Kemper, to control the Wah. Can't answer that, sorry... Maybe you could define it as a pitch pedal and activate the pitch pedal to wah function, but I don't know if that would work.
Robrecht - it seems that the direct connect is designed to work for Wah effects "Pedals and switches (7) You can connect a variety of pedals and switches to control several functions. Pedal #2 is the volume pedal by default. When you connect a foot switch, use the parameters in System mode to assign that pedal to perform a variety of functions. Pedal #1 defaults to the control of Wah-type effects."
But if the Wah Pedal Booster 'highjacks' the Wah pedal function (looks like it does) then even using a pedal plugged directly into the Kemper and assigned to pitch.....with the pitch pedal to wah....should only activate the volume as the wah pedal booster has been assigned to volume - my head hurts!!
I don't have a separate expression pedal to test it but if anyone else could confirm that would be fantastic
Cheers,
Andy
PS - I was going to say that I have a Budwah pedal that I love and wouldn't mind just plugging in front of the Kemper....but that would get messy as I use a Line 6 G30 wireless unit and don't want to drag that off the Kemper onto the floor by the FCB, into a Wah pedal, and then a long cable into the Kemper
Boys and girls. There is nothing you can do now about remote now If remote could sing it would perform Dream Theater's "(Take me) As I am"
To those who understand, I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am
Not under your command, I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am
Presently, on the FCB 1010, I use the left pedal for pre stomp vol, and the right for pitch control. Also, I use a separate exp pedal for wah, but just discovered the wah ring modulator, for variable speed rotary effect, with the exp pedal, which is very cool! I definitely can see using four exp pedals, especially if other effect parameters can be assigned in the upcoming 3.0 firmware.
