Only one note.
This is perfect. Love the long throw of the pedal, love how big and bright the tuner screen is, love that it's worked consistently every time.
That said, I'm nervous about the amount of dust that will creep in under the pedal on to the electronics. Overtime I'm worried that'll hurt the functionality, heaven forbid my foot gets wet and some water get's down in there. Would love if that area was covered. The solution? Just put a dust cover on the board when you're not using it.

DLC is dumb.
I got this purely to be able to take performances off my the Kemper Rack and take it to smaller gigs, church, etc. It does that pretty well.
That's terrific, and especially on the amp front this is the best option you're going to get. That said, I largely pull effects from the Kemper platform, and having to pay an extra pile of cash to be able to a lot of that stuff is dumb. I purchased this unit before the "Level 2 and 3" nonsense was announced, figuring they hadn't developed the software yet. I was right, but I didn't expect to have to pay almost half the price of another unit to be able to get that update.
I still haven't paid for it. I'll be taking that $300 and putting it towards general pedals that'll get me closer enough. I love Kemper in general, but this is an annoyance)

Excellent
Temple Boards aren't everyone's cup of tea, but they're mine.
I'm a big fan of the plate/module system. It's durable, stable, and makes life really easy when using multiple pedal boards. I have the Duo 17 and the Duo 34, both are great. I wish they'd make a rack drawer!
Only complaint is the side modules are quite expensive. That said, they'll last forever.
