Kemper Profiler Lets You Enjoy Incredibly Lifelike Profiles of Real Guitar Amplifiers

Using the Kemper Profiler, you can create a profile of your very own amplifiers (or whatever you can get your hands on) and store it into memory. The Kemper Profiler is a true guitar preamplifier with real gain and tone knobs ready to plug into a power amp, sound system, or recording system.

The real magic begins when you start shaping your tone with the Kemper Profiler’s tone controls — Kemper's high-tech wizardry makes your profiled amp respond amazingly accurately to the Profiling Amplifier's tone and gain controls. So you can take an amazing amp, capture its essence, and play it back anytime with complete gain and tone control.

200 factory presets and extensive online resources

Right out of the box, the Kemper Profiler has a ton of profiled amps ready to play. Just connect the Kemper Profiler to your sound system or recording rig, and you're set. And even if you don't have a collection of amps to profile, there are hundreds of profiled amplifiers available online, and the community of Kemper profilers is growing every day.

Profile your own amplifiers with the Kemper Profiler

While the incredibly lifelike profiles included with the Profiling Amplifier will appeal to everybody, you'll love the Kemper Profiler if you have a ton of amps already. It's easy to connect the Kemper Profiler to the amp you want to profile, hook up a microphone, capture the sound of that amp, and store it as a preset. You'll be amazed at how accurately your profiled amp preset responds to the gain and tone controls.

The Kemper Profiler is the perfect link between stage and studio

Ever been frustrated trying to re-create the tone you captured on a recording when you play out live? Then you'll love the Profiling Amplifier, because it can profile your studio sound while you're recording. Just take a split of the mic you're recording with and use the split signal to connect to the Kemper Profiler. You'll capture the sound of your studio performance, ready to be recalled on any stage in the world at a moment's notice.

Kemper Profiler Features:

  • Lunchbox-sized guitar preamplifier can create profiles of any physical guitar amplifier
  • Includes 200 amplifier profiles for you to start with
  • Easy to profile your own amplifiers — all you need is a microphone and cable, guitar cables, and a combo amp or amp head and cabinet
  • Built-in DI can split your signal to a direct output for simultaneous recording of your dry guitar signal and the guitar amp profile
  • Great-sounding collection of effects in addition to the amplifiers
  • Automatic spillover lets your delay and reverb tails fade out naturally when you change presets
  • You can lock individual module settings when changing presets, keeping your current delay effects settings while changing amp profiles
  • Effects loop lets you integrate your hardware effects and stompboxes

The most amazing gear I have ever owned!!!

This thing delivers more than promised! There is a learning curve but it is VERY intuitive!!!
Get the foot pedal!

My only wish is that the looper be a little longer. That said, it works very well

Buy this

All my review is going to say is you need this thing. I have this paired with a friedman asm12 and it sounds better than any amp combo I have ever heard. I did a lot of research before getting that combo and was still skeptical because of the price. Not anymore. I cant even listen to my friends' amps anymore. I just say "here hook up to the Kemper man"

P.s. my cat approves
Rated 5/5

No other equipment sounds like this

I can´t be more happy with this little box !!! I use it a lot in my studio but in live situation too and always makes me happy AF LOL

Now with liquid profiling you´ll feel the knobs like a real amp, the feeling is just amazing if you have the experience with real heads.

No doubt this is a AAA equipment for any guitar player
Rated 5/5

Best piece of guitar equipment on the market.

I have been playing guitar for about 20 years. In that time I have played on many pedals, amps, guitars, and plugins. No other single piece of gear comes close to having the impact this does. I have had one for about a year now, and I still get excited to play through it. I have never had this level of excitement about a piece of gear after having had it for this long. It continues to amaze me. If I had to buy another, I wouldn't hesitate to pay twice the cost for a new one. You need one of these.
Rated 5/5

Fabulous - but factory rigs don't show it off in its best light!

I've been looking forward to buying one of these for my studio for some time, and finally pulled the trigger. My initial reaction was 'it's just ok....' but that was very much driven by the (lack of) variety in the rigs that come pre-installed on the product. I find these way too geared to 'metal/overdriven' sounds for my taste, with lots of processing going on. My own preference is for something 'on the edge of breakup' which is typically hard to model - I was hoping an actual profiler would be able to nail it. Having viewed a bunch of Tone Junkies videos I bought a couple of their profile packs that looked to fit the bill, and have been completely blown away by how good these sound. The profile packs do a really nice job of 'going up the gain scale' gradually, offering a lot more variation than in the Kemper's own presets which are either very clean or very dirty. The 'Tang' pack which profiles some Orange Amps is a real standout. Now this thing is everything I hoped! Rig Manager is also an absolute revelation: key added value feature is the ability to audition rigs from the computer without needing to lead them into the profiler. Genius!
