Kemper Profiler Player
Kemper Profiler Player – The next evolutionary step of the Profiler
The Kemper Profiler has decisively changed the world of guitar tone. The acclaimed Kemper Profiling technology and the brand-new Liquid Profiles deliver the best amp sounds anytime, anywhere — with consistent precision and in a handy package for touring, travel and studio use.
Countless sounds in a compact enclosure
The Kemper Profiler Player is the newest and most comprehensive combination of professional amplifier sounds and studio effects in the smallest of packages. The Profiler Player requires only the footprint of two standard pedals and turns any pedalboard into an arena-ready tour rig. In addition, the Player itself is an arena-ready touring rig that fits into any guitar bag. It offers the full arsenal of Kemper amplifier sounds. The amp section of the Player sounds identical to that of its famous larger siblings — it loads any amplifier profile from a huge library of sounds — selected effect settings, IR-Loading and switching functions — at home, in the studio, in the rehearsal room and on stage.
Simple yet versatile
At first glance the Kemper Profiler Player is an easily accessible guitar amplifier with the familiar classic controls where you can save your prized amplifier settings. The rigs from the big Profiler are fully compatible within the limits of the Player's 4 FX slots. If you want to dig deeper and access every single effect setting, you can connect the Rig Manager Remote App to the Player via USB or Wi‑Fi and use the setting of your choice. Due to its small size the Kemper Profiler Player fits into almost any gig bag or the accessory pocket of your case and you can take it everywhere with ease.
Perfect for playing at home
At home the Kemper Profiler Player is the perfect rehearsal amp; on stage it is a standalone Profiler. Alternatively you can also connect one or two Kemper Power Cabs and expand your setup with an expression pedal.
The Kemper Profiler Player is stripped down to the essentials and is therefore also suitable for bassists and acoustic guitarists. Keyboard players can also enjoy the best tube amp profiles and effects to liven up their sounds.
Playing with the Rig Manager App
The Rig Manager App gives you full remote control of the Player from almost any computing platform: Mac, PC, Android tablet, Android phone, Kindle Fire, Apple iPad, Apple iPhone.
It also gives you advanced rig management and access to over 20,000 user-generated rigs made available to you by professionals and hobby musicians within the Rig Manager App.

The Kemper Profiler is the leading digital guitar amplifier and all-in-one effects processor.
Praised by guitarists around the world as a "game-changer", the Profiler is the first digital guitar amplifier to capture the true, full and dynamic sound of a guitar or bass amplifier. This is made possible by the radical and patented technological and conceptual approach Kemper calls "profiling".
For decades the electric guitarist has been effectively shackled to the tube amplifier as the only way to achieve that sound. That combination is undoubtedly glorious, but far from ideal. Achieving consistent results between the rehearsal room, the studio and the stage has been a major challenge for guitarists — as it has been since the early 1940s.
With the arrival of the Kemper Profiler everything changed. For the first time in history guitarists are free to create the most individual tones that reflect the essence of their playing style and to capture those exact sounds in the digital domain with Kemper's unique technology. The Kemper Profiler Stage in floorboard format makes the features even more stage-ready and is aimed specifically at touring live musicians.
If you feel you don't own first-class tube amplifiers worth profiling, no problem. There's actually no need to create your own profiles. The Profiler comes with hundreds of amps and rigs already installed. This initial selection of factory presets — created by pro musicians and engineers in top studios around the world — gives you access to some of the rarest and finest amps on the planet.
For use in the studio, on stage and at home.
The Profiler revolutionises the typical workflow of a recording session. By recording a mic'd-up guitar rig by professionals, guitarists can for the first time move freely between projects for overdubs and alternate takes and return to them at any time. Hire a professional studio for a day or two to create the best profiles of your amps.
With the exact same sound as on the recording and without the need for multiple amp setups on stage, it opens up a new world of possibilities. You will sound better through the PA than ever before.
It's not necessary to mix a speaker cabinet on stage because the cabinet recorded in the studio is immortalised in the profile. As a welcome consequence it's not necessary to carry a cabinet onto the stage. You can hear yourself through the regular stage monitor and save a lot of back pain and transport costs. Your bandmates and your sound engineer will love you for leaving that loud sound source at home.
