Kemper Amps Profiler Head

Kemper · effects unit

The Kemper Profiler Head is a rackmount/desktop-format amplifier that uses Kemper's Profiling technology to capture the exact sound and feel of real amplifiers rather than modeling their circuits from scratch, resulting in a warm, dynamic, and touch-responsive playing feel that closely tracks the profiled amp's own articulate character. It has no onboard footswitches of its own, and is typically paired with the separate Kemper Remote for live switching, making it a favorite among touring and studio players who want an already-owned amp's tone in a compact rackable unit.
