The KEMPER PROFILER™ is the leading-edge digital guitar amplifier and all-in-one effects processor. Hailed as a game-changer by guitarists the world over, the PROFILER™ is the first digital guitar amp to really nail the full and dynamic sound of a guitar or bass amp. This is made possible by a radical, patented technology and concept which Kemper call "PROFILING™". It's so light and compact that it can be taken onto a plane as hand-luggage. The footprint of the Head is tiny - perfectly designed for the desk of your project studio.

This version of the PROFILER™ Head has a built-in Class-D power amp. It produces 600 Watt @ 8 Ohm or 300 Watt @ 16 Ohm. The power amp was designed in Denmark by the renowned ICEpower™. It offers pristine sound quality, whether it is driving full-range speakers or classic guitar cabinets. The Class-D technique makes for the most energy-efficient power amp solution, emitting only a minimum of heat. This reduces the need for heat-sinks, as well as minimizing the overall size and weight. Combining this power amp with the KEMPER PROFILER turns the PowerHead into a super smart, compact, all-in-one solution. If required, you can switch off the built-in power amp, converting your powered PROFILER into a line-level unit for recording purposes.

Kemper use proprietary digital technology to analyse the sonic DNA of your amp. Now, you can go way beyond the boundaries of the original amp and tweak everything to your liking. Use the gain control and equalizer to adapt the sound to your guitar. Add power sagging to the distortion and tweak the power of your pick attack without compression. You can even exchange the cabinet later on. The PROFILER gives you more freedom of choice than any other real or virtual amp available. A PROFILE you take in a tracking session for your next song will work perfectly on stage when you take it on tour. It was never easier to have a unique and consistent tone in every situation.

The PROFILER revolutionizes the typical workflow of a recording session. Guitarists can now move freely between projects - the PROFILEs of their guitar rigs allowing them to do overdubs or alternative takes whenever they like. You could rent a professional studio for a day or two to create the best PROFILEs of your amps, and then record in your project studio later - you'll have the exact sound of the professional studio, but with all the time in the world.

Playing live is where the PROFILER really comes into its own - just spend a little time making PROFILEs in the studio, and you can play live with the exact same sound that you used on your blockbuster hit, only without the need for multiple amp setups on stage. You will sound better than ever before through the PA, since the sound of the cabinet you mic’ed in the studio is immortalized in the PROFILE, there is no need to mic a speaker cab on stage. In fact, you don't have to carry a cabinet up on stage at all! You can monitor yourself via the common stage-monitor wedge and save a lot of backache and cargo costs.

The PROFILER offers a selection of some of the finest effects in the world. Nearly 20 years of experience allows Kemper to find the essence of both classic and new effects and equip them with well-conceived parameter sets. They won't overwhelm you with dozens of ineffective controls per effect algorithm - everything has a clear, intuitive and musical purpose. The signal-chain comprises 8 effect modules in addition to the amplifier stack. Up to four effects can be placed "pre" the amp stack, and another four "post" the amp. The final modules of the effect chain are ideal for delay and reverb effects.

PROFILER OS 8.5 supports the new PROFILER Rig Editor for iPadOS which allows for wireless control of the PROFILER Stage, Head, and Rack. This adds another dimension of parameter editing and fine-tuning of guitar tone at home, in the studio, at rehearsal, and on stage. The PROFILER Power Head must be connected to a local network via a wired ethernet connection to use with Profiler Rig Editor.
Everybody knows that fine-tuning guitar tone works best when standing in the sweet spot of the speakers, where all the magic happens. Rig Manager for iPadOS provides exactly that, in a portable yet powerful editor solution. You can add, swap and modify effects using the intuitive graphical user interface. You only need one hand to optimise your PROFILER performance while the other one is holding that power chord. It was never easier to get your best tone out of your PROFILER.
