Hi Guys,
I asked for other Kempers Remote users, that - like me - would like to have more foot-switches, but instead I only heard from 3 user, that didn't have that need
… it would be easy to be able to hear whether the effect is active or not. You don’t really need an LED to know.
Yes, of course I would be able to hear that … after been playing and teaching guitar professionally for 46 years
Sorry, guys .. I didn't formulate my self clearly at first
… I am an owner if the Kemper Remote, and for Live use and improved spontanity, I would love to have improved foot-swich flexibility, so I can keep my hands on the fretboard.
re. coloured LEDs :
Since we have access to 100s of rigs - I was refering to, how lovely it is that Kemper has used different colors for each type of effect, thereby helping us to get a better overview and remember .. and the Kemper Remote reflects that !
But on the Kemper PROFILER you can turn on/of each of the 8 FX slots separately, whereas on the Kemper REMOTE. you can turn on/off only 4 FX slots seperately.
I would love to get rid of this Limitation …
When I program a Rig, I usually fill up all 8 FX slots, so they are ready to be turned on /off, when I need it during a live performance.
But for each rig I usually have to compromise, and decide which 4 of the 8 effect is most important to be assigned to the footswitch.
and Yes... It's great that you can have multiple effect assigned to one foot-switch, in those special circumstances where your desired effect constitutes of a combination of effects .. I love that !
… But most often it's not the case,
So For LIVE use I just want to be able to turn on/of ALL of these 8 effect slots separately.
.. and in addition:
… since you also can assign Action & Hold functions (like the speed of the rotor etc ) to the Effect Buttons of the Remote, the limitation of only having 4 footswitches on the Kemper Remote , becomes more apparent to me …
… That's why I would love to be able to expand my number of FX foot-swithes for a total of 10, instead of only the 4 on the Kemper Remote.
… but it seems that such an addtional foot-wich box doesn't excist on the market
Within this framework the four Effect Buttons, which can switch multiple modules at a time, are sufficient. In addition you have Morphing - by Rig - which can do on/off and much more.
Don't limit yourself to this one signal chain, which needs to deliver all theoretically possible effect combinations just via on/off interventions.
Don't get me wrong… I love having the continious controllers, like morphing etc.
and I absolutely don't want to limit me to one signal chain, it's actually on the contrary:
For Live use, I want to be able to be spontanius, by being able to reach ALL of the 8+ effect slot at random,
.. and each Rig might have different effects, that's why it lovely with the different colors indicating what type of effect it is.
