The Kemper Profiler Player is proof that good things come in small packages — and great amp tones come in very small ones. Occupying the footprint of just two standard distortion pedals, this compact pedalboard profiler packs the full power of Kemper's legendary PROFILING technology into a form factor that actually fits in your guitar bag.
The Profiler Player loads any amp PROFILE from the vast library of free and commercial rigs, delivers studio-grade effects, and handles every environment you throw at it — bedroom practice, recording sessions, rehearsals, and live stages alike. No half-measures, no tone-tax for going compact. Just the real thing, miniaturized.
Authentic Amp Tones Without the Truck Rental
The Profiler Player's amp section is sonically identical to its full-size siblings — the big rack units and floor units that have been the gold standard on pro stages for over a decade. That's not marketing fluff; the same KEMPER PROFILING engine runs under the hood. You get access to thousands of real-amp profiles, including the new Liquid Profiles that push tonal realism even further. Combined with a 127 dB dynamic range input stage that handles everything from glassy cleans to face-melting high-gain tones, the Player sounds every bit as convincing as a mic’d-up tube stack — without the hearing damage.
Full KEMPER PROFILING Engine: The Player runs the same amp modeling core as the flagship Profiler units, making it fully compatible with the entire universe of existing free and commercial KEMPER PROFILES. Your Rigs, your tones, no compromises.
Liquid Profile Support: Liquid Profiles bring the feel of real amp controls to digital profiling — adjust gain, EQ, and presence just like you would on the original amp. It's a profiler that acts more like an amp than ever before.
Pure Cabinet & Patented Noise Gate: The acclaimed "Pure Cabinet" feature tames harsh frequency spikes from mic'd cabinets, while the unique spectral noise gate keeps your signal clean without strangling your sustain — crucial for high-gain playing.
Studio-Grade Effects That Earn Their Slot
Four effect blocks might sound modest until you realize what KEMPER has stuffed into each one. The Player draws from an FX arsenal of 136 carefully selected effect settings, pulled from the legendary PROFILER's library of over 444 FX presets. These aren't placeholder effects designed to check a box on a spec sheet — they're the same algorithms that have been trusted on world tours and studio sessions for years. Rotary speakers, lush pad-like reverbs, silky delays with seamless spillover: this is the kind of FX quality that usually lives in a rack, not a pedalboard corner.
4 Flexible FX Blocks with Spillover: Place up to two effects before the amp stack and two after it, with full delay and reverb spillover on Rig changes. Smooth transitions between sounds, every time — no artificial scene juggling required.
Premium Reverbs & Rotary Speaker: The onboard reverbs go well beyond standard spring and hall algorithms, delivering lush ambient spaces, large halls, and studio-quality pad-like textures. The authentic rotary speaker simulation is the kind of thing you rarely find outside dedicated pedals.
136 Curated FX Settings: Every effect in the Player's lineup was hand-selected from KEMPER's deep FX catalog — the same one built by the team behind the legendary ACCESS VIRUS synthesizer. Nearly 25 years of audio engineering expertise, packed into your pedalboard.
The Profiler Player was designed to disappear on your board and show up everywhere else. Its three independently controllable output groups mean it adapts to whatever situation you're walking into. Going direct to FOH? One ground-lifted XLR handles it without a DI box. Practicing at midnight? The high-power headphone output with "Space" processing has you covered. Want to turn it into a combo amp? Hook up a KEMPER Power Kabinet. It even charges your tablet through its USB port, because apparently it wanted one more job.
Rig Manager on Every Platform: Full remote control via Rig Manager across Mac, PC, Android tablet, Android phone, Kindle Fire, Apple iPad, and Apple iPhone over USB or WLAN. Access, edit, and organize over 20,000 user-generated Rigs without touching a single knob.
MIDI, USB Audio & Bluetooth: Full USB MIDI and USB audio support make the Player a seamless DAW companion for recording and performance. Bluetooth connectivity lets you play along to Spotify straight from your phone — because sometimes the best rehearsal tool is a good playlist.
Expandable Footswitch & Expression Control: Add expression pedals, dual footswitches, or an external USB foot controller to expand your live control setup without redesigning your entire board. The Player grows with your rig, not against it.
A Full Touring Rig That Weighs Less Than Your Lunch
The Kemper Profiler Player is what happens when a brand refuses to let "compact" mean "compromised." It carries the full KEMPER PROFILING legacy in a package that fits anywhere, sounds like everything, and connects to the world around it without complaint. For gigging guitarists, studio musicians, and anyone who's ever fantasized about a wall of boutique amps that fits in a gig bag, the Profiler Player is the most practical answer on the market.

Full KEMPER PROFILING amp engine — sonically identical to the full-size PROFILER units

The Profiler Player runs the same core KEMPER PROFILING amp engine as the full-size rack and floor units, meaning the amp tones are sonically identical. The main trade-off is that the Player offers 4 FX blocks instead of the full Profiler's extended chain, but it remains fully compatible with existing KEMPER PROFILES.
Yes, the Player is a fully self-contained direct solution. Its ground-lifted XLR output connects directly to a FOH mixing desk without the need for a DI box, and it also supports KEMPER Power Kabinets if you prefer speakers on stage.
Liquid Profiles are an advanced KEMPER innovation that models the behavior of real amp controls within a profile, so adjusting gain or EQ responds the way the original amp would. Yes, the Profiler Player fully supports Liquid Profiles.
Yes, the Player supports MIDI program change and control via a standard USB-to-MIDI adapter (not included). It also supports an external USB foot controller for expanded live switching capabilities.
Absolutely. The Profiler Player is compatible with the entire library of existing free and commercial KEMPER PROFILES, and Rig Manager on Mac and PC gives you access to over 20,000 user-generated Rigs. Rigs from larger PROFILER units are fully compatible within the Player's 4 FX slot limit.
