The Hi-Z input makes sure every nuance of your playing comes through, and that your volume and tone pot settings work just as you would expect. This is also why your trusty old stompboxes work so well in front of the Kemper Profiler.
14 endless analogue potentiometers allow quick and easy control over the sound, without the irritating 'gear ratio' feeling.
The Kemper Profiler has a built-in analog splitter that mirrors your DI signal to the direct out. Record this dry signal to a separate track, and you can re-amp it later, should you desire to do so.
In case you're encountering nerve-wracking hum due to ground loops, use one of the four ground-lift switches to eliminate the problem. This is especially helpful should you want to use the '4 Cable Method' (4CM).
The monitor output supplies a cab sim free signal for your power-amp and cabinet on stage, while the FOH receives your signal with the cab sim intact.
80dBs of available gain for the amp simulation lets you clean up a distorted profile or push a clean profile into overdrive.
Distortions are red, a chorus is blue... Effect types are represented by different LED and display colors, for a intuitive editing experience.
Accurate models of classic, retro modulation effects and famous overdrive/distortion pedals. Wah, tremolo, delay, reverb and much more. Add up to eight effects at the same time.
The smart & transparent noise gate is easily adjustable via the front panel.
Use the effects loop to integrate stompboxes or rack effects in your rig, at any point in the signal chain.
Automatic spillover lets delay and reverb decay naturally when you change rigs.
Lock any number of modules to keep their exact settings when you change rigs. This is ideal if you're curious to hear what your favorite Screamer setting sounds like in front of other amp profiles, for example.
Our frequent firmware updates will always be free of charge and a new OS version will never alter the sound of your existing rigs.
Delay and reverb can be adjusted from serial to parallel configuration - and to anywhere in between.
Since the unit is cooled passively, there is absolutely no fan noise to disturb you, even in the quietest of studio environments.
Right from the start the Kemper Profiler comes equipped with more than 200 profiles, featuring vintage classics, modern high-gain amps and rare boutique items. These profiles were made by top engineers and producers in premiere studios around the world.
The KPA user community has already created and shared hundreds of profiles, all of which are easily accessible via the Kemper homepage.
Developed by the designers of the Access Virus synthesizer - 15 years of innovations in audio.
No. It ships with over 300 profiles, created in studios around the world, featuring vintage classics, modern high-gain amps, and rare boutique items.
Yes. The profiles don't crush your tone, like so many other digital processors do, but bring out the sound of your fingers, pickups etc.
Yes - and even better, you can have it both ways at the same time: use the stereo XLR outs to send your signal to the front of house (FOH), and use the dedicated monitor out to feed your power amp and cabinet with a signal that bypasses the cabinet simulation.
While this hasn't been a primary concern during the development of the Kemper Profiler, users have already made excellent profiles from bass amps.
Yes. As a matter of fact, the Kemper Profiler comes with four factory profiles taken from one of the best-sounding solid state amps in history: the Roland JC-120
Yes. A profile consists, basically, of an amplifier portion and a cabinet portion.
