Some guitar modelers just make sound. The Kemper Profiler PowerHead MK2 makes history — or at least a highly convincing replica of it. This all-in-one modeling amplifier combines legendary KEMPER PROFILING technology with a 600-watt power amp in a single, stage-ready head unit. Studio tones, live performance power, and wireless control, all in one package.
Tones That Could Make a Tube Snob Sweat
Most players spend years (and a small fortune) chasing "that sound." The PowerHead MK2 cuts that search down considerably, packing amp PROFILEs from some of the world's most sought-after studios directly into the unit. Whether you're after a snarling British crunch or a pristine American clean, the library of Rigs covers more sonic ground than most guitarists will ever need. And if you've got a prized amp of your own? Mic it up and PROFILE it yourself.
KEMPER PROFILING Technology: Capture the exact behavior of any real amplifier — your vintage plexi, your buddy's boutique combo — and play it back with stunning, studio-grade accuracy through any output configuration.
Curated Amp PROFILE Library: An expansive collection of Rigs sourced from top studios and elite tone designers gives you instant access to world-class sounds without setting foot in a recording studio or maxing out a credit card.
Create and Share Your Own PROFILEs: Mic up your own amps, dial in your ideal settings, and build a personal library of tones that's truly yours — then share them with the Kemper community or even sell them to fellow tone chasers.
Effects, Power, and 600 Watts of "Yes, That's Loud Enough"
The PowerHead MK2 doesn't just dabble in effects — it goes all in. The onboard FX collection features a full preamp section with six Fixed FX, four flexible effect modules pre-amp, and another two stereo Fixed FX plus four more flexible stereo effect modules post-amp. And backing all that up is an integrated 600-watt power amp ready to drive guitar cabinets and full-range speakers. It covers everything from bedroom practice to festival stages without breaking a sweat — or your back.
Comprehensive FX Arsenal: 10 FX slots spanning pre- and post-amp positions, covering everything from pitch shifters and wah to lush reverbs and expansive delays that other units can only dream about.
Unique Morphing Technology: Assign an expression pedal and blend smoothly between entirely different amp settings, FX configurations, and levels in real time — giving your performance a fluidity that static presets simply can't match.
600-Watt Integrated Power Amp: Enough headroom to fill any room, drive passive guitar cabinets, eliminating the need for a separate power amp and the cable spaghetti that comes with it.
Connectivity That Makes Your Rack Unit Jealous
The PowerHead MK2's output and connectivity section is, frankly, overachieving. Stereo main outputs, a configurable monitor output, dual guitar inputs, an FX loop for external gear, S/PDIF at up to 96 kHz, four-channel USB audio, MIDI — it has more I/O than most dedicated interfaces. And because the year is no longer 1987, it also connects wirelessly to iOS, Android, and FireOS devices via Rig Manager for full remote editing without leaving the couch.
Industry-Leading I/O: Stereo MAIN and MONITOR outputs, 2x guitar inputs, SEND/RETURN loop, MIDI, S/PDIF (44.1–96 kHz at 24-bit), USB (4-in/4-out), and dual expression/switch inputs — enough connectivity to anchor a professional studio or live rig with room to spare.
Wireless Remote Control via Rig Manager: Connect to a WiFi router and edit your Rigs, switch Performances, and manage your entire library remotely from a tablet or phone — ideal for those mid-soundcheck tweaks when you're already on stage.
PROFILER Remote and MIDI Control: For players who prefer physical control, the dedicated PROFILER Remote pedal integrates seamlessly, while full MIDI compatibility ensures the PowerHead MK2 plays well with any existing setup or pedalboard configuration.
A Head Unit That's Equally at Home Anywhere
The Kemper Profiler PowerHead MK2 is one of those rare pieces of gear that genuinely fits every context it's placed in — studio desk, rehearsal space, festival stage. Its elegant, compact form factor means it doesn't demand a roadcase the size of a refrigerator, and its feature set means you're never wishing you'd brought more gear. This is the amp for the player who's done compromising.
From the depth of its PROFILING engine to the raw output of its 600-watt power section, the PowerHead MK2 is the kind of investment that quietly makes every other piece of your rig feel a little less necessary. One unit. Every tone. Any stage.
Kemper Profiler PowerHead MK2 Features:
All-in-one KEMPER PROFILING amplifier with integrated 600-watt power amp
Full PROFILER experience including Amp PROFILEs from top studios and tone designers
The PowerHead MK2 is an all-in-one guitar and bass amplifier solution that combines KEMPER's acclaimed PROFILING technology with a built-in 600-watt power amp. It's used for recording, rehearsal, and live performance, covering everything from capturing real amp tones to running a complete professional stage rig.
Yes, the PowerHead MK2 is designed to replace a traditional amp entirely, offering profiled tones from real-world amplifiers alongside a full studio-grade FX chain and integrated power amp. It drives guitar cabinets just like a conventional amp, with far more tonal flexibility on tap.
PROFILING is KEMPER's proprietary technology that captures the exact sonic character of a real amplifier, including its dynamic behavior, and reproduces it with remarkable accuracy. You can profile your own amps, use profiles from the KEMPER Rig Exchange, or purchase profiles from professional tone designers.
No, the PowerHead MK2 has a 600-watt power amp built in, so it connects directly to any passive guitar cabinet without needing additional hardware. It also supports full-range outputs for studio monitors or FRFR speakers straight out of the box.
Absolutely, it's built for the stage, with seamless Performance Mode switching, Morphing for expressive real-time control, and robust connectivity including MIDI and the optional PROFILER Remote pedal. Its compact head format makes it easy to incorporate into any live rig without the bulk of a traditional multi-amp setup.
