Kemper is now jumping on the bandwagon and making a self contained floor unit. It's true that it doesn't have scribble strips, or a touch display, or even a color display, but i's still a Kemper and its now about the size of the previous floor controller.

Very cool! I hope/assume it will be 100% compatible with the rack version.

If that's true and they don't release a new rack version, I think that I'll move from Fractal to Kemper. I don't like the fact that Fractal releases new devices all the time and discontinue previous ones... this costs people that live in countries like Argentina a lot of money. Import taxes are extremely high.

Just my 2 cents and maybe something to consider. It has been my experience here in the US that the used Fractal products have held their value very well when you can find them. I don't see many used ones at all hit the market here in Alaska but when they do, they always sell pretty fast and always well over half of the original price although I haven't seen any of the first few versions come up for sale yet. I have seen a couple AX8's sell recently for very close to the original price and sell very quickly. This coming from a guy that watches the used instrument and gear market pretty closely, at least here in Alaska. I am sure you can find more of them at better prices at places like Reverb.com though.

Gabe is in ARGENTINA. Not the U.S. This makes things a bit more tricky. If he we in the states, it would be a different matter. The import taxes are insane on new gear over there. So each time fractal changes to a new model, getting the new model is crazy pricey. That's what he likes about the kemper, it has not changed. No need to repay import taxes to upgrade.

I'm not super impressed with the factory presets though. The video I shared links to a gt1000 in the end and (specially x-amps) were very comparable. So probably not out of the box but to use full potential 3.rd party Kemper presets are needed. This is similar to my Fractal AX8. Factory presets doesn't sound good to me. I wonder why they don't work on the best factory tones... -------------------- My lessons
