The Kemper Profiler PowerHead amp is as simple as plugging it in and pressing ‘record.’ Just insert it into the recording chain, sit back, and watch the magic. Test signals will be sent from the unit into your tube amp and recorded by the microphone in front of your cabinet. Less than a minute later, the sonic DNA of your tube amp has been extracted. Use the A/B mode to compare the original tube amp with the profiled sound.
The ‘Refine’ feature allows you to fine-tune the nuances of your profile by simply strumming a few chords - a fast and convenient way to tweak the profile to perfection. The four stomp slots let you choose from traditional drive pedals, wahs and EQs, as well as more exotic effects like frequency shifter and wave shaper. Post-amp, you can add up to four stereo effects, including various reverbs, delays and modulation effects. Many effects have a built-in ‘Ducking’ parameter - just find your perfect setting, then store it for easy recall as an effect preset.
With the advent of the Kemper Profiler, everything has changed. Now, for the first time, you are free to create amp tones as unique and individual as you, and capture them perfectly into the digital domain. ‘Profiling’ is the name Kemper has given their proprietary technology that captures the sound and feel of a tube amplifier. The resulting profiles go far beyond a list of static, digital amp models - profiling creates a vivid, dynamic and multi-dimensional reproduction of your existing tube amp.
