On this forum there are several questions about the internal micpreamp of the Kemper.
Therefore I thought: Wouldnt it be versatile to have a 3-slot API/500-series on the front a Kemper 2.0 ?
So, everybody can use their favorite 500-series micpreamp with their Kemper.
And because those 3-slot are built-in (in the Kemper), the "2.0" profile exist from 3 seperate 'sub-profiles' (who were made at the same time); therefor you can blend those 3 micpreamps in the Kemper internally.
And this blend, could be changed afterwards as well!
I find the blend between microphones much more useable than an eq. And much more natural sounding then a filter, to brighten or darken things up.
Btw: when there is no 500-slot in use, then the line-input on the back is active.
