Like the other models in the Profiler series, the Kemper Amplifier Profiling PowerHead uses proprietary technology that captures the sound and essence of any amplifier on the market.

How does the Profiler system work?

First, you find a great sound with the amplifier and speaker you want, then you simply connect the guitar to the Kemper Profiler, sending the signal through the "send" output to the amplifier of your choice. From the amplifier, the signal is sent back via microphone to the "return" input of the Kemper, where the sound is analyzed. Once the Kemper Profiler has measured and analyzed the sound, it is simply saved as a preset. This process takes less than a minute. The sound can also be edited within the amplifier, whether the amplifier's power loss or even the tube polarity value. Various screen configuration parameters can also be modified.

The “PowerHead” is equipped with a new 600 W Class D amplifier (300 W at 16 ohms) for direct connection to speakers. It doesn't matter whether you use specific guitar cabinets or studio monitors. The CabDriver mode will adjust the sound directly to the cabinet without the need to reconfigure it.

What if I don't have an amplifier to copy?

In case you do not want to record your own configuration, the “Kemper Profiling” amplifier comes stock with a bunch of amplifiers ready to play. Thanks to a large online community, you also have the option to download thousands of amplifier configurations that other users have already "profiled".

More things....

In addition to the effects, the Kemper Profiler incorporates several stompboxes and the ability to integrate/record external pedals. Thanks to constant firmware updates, the possibilities of the “Kemper Profiling Amp” are always expanding.

The Profiler was designed with live performances in mind. With Performance Mode you can create and organize complete musical scenes with your repertoire in a separate memory. Any change is saved exclusively in the Performance. You can save 125 songs with 5 musical scenes in each.

In the studio: The Profiler revolutionizes recording sessions. Guitarists can freely switch from one project to another, saving alternative versions or adding changes.

At home: analog tube amps don't start to sound good until levels that are very annoying for the neighbors. The Profiler sounds good at any volume and you can use the Space effect to get a better experience with headphones. You can also connect an MP3 to the auxiliary input and mix it with the amp signal.
