It offers the full arsenal of KEMPER amp tones (yes, the Amp section of the Player sounds identical to the amp section of its famous Big Brothers - it loads any amp PROFILE from the vast library of existing free and commercial PROFILEs), selected FX settings, IR loading, and switching capabilities - at home, in the studio, in the rehearsal room, and onstage.

"Fantastic Hardware DI"
Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
Generally speaking this is the best built unit on the market. Compared to the Helix pedals and every other brand I tested this particular unit had the best build quality. It's small, it's heavy, it's solid, the knobs are all machined steel, and the jacks I/O are all really high quality. Tonally the DI pass-through is superb quality.Unfortunately I had to return it due to a software update issue that basically bricked the unit. The company needs to fix their software and work hard on improving it, because it was the Achilles heel of such a fabulous piece of hardware. If they fix and improve the software this unit would easily be the best on the market. zZounds was amazing as always, there is nowhere else better to buy.
