I won't be getting rid of the Eleven Rack. I'm keeping that for as long as it serves my needs...
I've been eyeing the Kemper Profiler for about a year. I said I'd reconsider it when:
1) they do a rackmount version
2) they implement performance mode
3) they have a dedicated controller
Point 1 was satisfied at Winter NAMM.
Point 2 is close to being satisfied: KPA firmware 2.0 is in public beta; it includes performance mode.
Point 3, it turns out, is satisfied not by Kemper (although they're saying their own floorboard will probably see the light of day this fall) but by FAMC. FAMC and Kemper have collaborated on integrating the KPA and the LF+. It takes less than a minute to sync the two units (a one-time operation) after which the LF+ buttons and displays automatically track what's programmed on the KPA. Also, the KPA's tuner displays on the LF+.
By the time I scrape together the $$, the KPA 2.0 firmware should be finalized...
