...Plus the fact that the kemper team listens to what their user base asks for...
I can clearly remember times when Kemper argued with vehemence why there is no need for an editor or a floor unit! And the fanboys defending it to the bone!!
The need for an editor to stay competitive was very very obvious, but it took many years until Kemper finally had an insight. Now we even have a Kemper Player that has no screen on the unit and is heavily depending on the editor.
The success of Kemper is not BECAUSE they are always up-to-date to the demand (or we would have a tuner in Rig Manager yesterday ). They have success DESPITE being late to the party with the editor, the Stage and now the Player. But they don't seem to strive for maximum profit or growth. And doing well with that I guess.
