Kemper PROFILER+REMOTE-BLACK Profiler + Remote Profiler Amplifier Head in Black with Profiler Remote Foot Controller

The Kemper Profiler Head enables you to capture the soul of all your amps (and so many more) inside a lunchbox-sized amplifier using cutting edge technology to capture the sonic DNA of virtually any guitar amp. The resulting profiles are as living, vivid, and dynamic as the original amps.

Included with the Profiler Head in this offering is the Kemper Profiler Remote foot controller. This easy-to-operate floor board is tightly integrated with the Profiler Head and allows you to control, administer, and program without knowledge of MIDI or needing to pore through highly technical data sheets. (For more information on the Kemper Profiler Remote foot controller, see below.)

Imagine you've used some sweet-sounding, well-maintained vintage tube amps in your last studio session: With the Kemper Profiler, there's no need to leave those sounds behind anymore. Simply create your own profiles from these amps and take them with you to use anywhere you like. Variations with alternative amp settings can be created and even the cabinet of a profiled combo amp can be exchanged at any time. Dozens of pro-grade onboard effects and stomp boxes can be used to spice up the profiles. Kemper even gives you profiles of many exceptional signature amps.

It contains your entire amp collection: the amps you own, the best sounding amps from top guitarists the world over, and amps from studio-cats who live for that perfect recording room, ultimate mic position, and purest possible signal chain.

The Kemper Profiler can capture the sonic DNA of a guitar amp with the press of a single button. But, so you don‘t have to, the best amps in the world come pre-installed, ready to bring their legendary tone and feel to your fingertips. Ready to take you from Nashville, thru London, to LA. Ready to take you on a trip of tonal bliss from Alternative, thru Metal, to Country – with a pit stop at Experimental.

Profiling an 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 lets you 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.

What about those occasions when you just want to play through a standard guitar cab? The unique CabDriver mode retains the characteristics of the tube power-amp, including the original amp/speaker interactions, and translates them perfectly to the speaker cabinet. No additional tweaking required. Prefer to feed a full-range monitor system? No problem - they gave the Kemper Profiler some of the most complete output options available in a guitar amplification system.

To get the perfect "amp-in-the-room" sound on the stage, or in the rehearsal room, simply feed the monitor output signal into any neutral, solid-state power amp driving a standard guitar cabinet. And now for the nifty bit: you can still run the full profile to the main PA, while CabDriver feeds to your speaker cabinet on stage. All this makes the Kemper Profiler the perfect, all-in-one solution for any guitar player who travels from rehearsal room, to studio, to stage.

The Profiler Remote's large, illuminated display is designed to be looked at from a distance and its housing is built like a tank.

Five buttons allow you to directly access five different programs ("Rigs") and entire performance programs can be switched using a bank system. There are dedicated buttons to access the tuner, tap tempo in and enable the exclusive Looper Effect.

The Remote connects via a single Ethernet cable to your Profiler. No extra power supply in needed and the included cable is 7 meters long (21 ft). Longer cables can be used as well (sold separately).

Up to four continuous foot pedals can control multiple parameters inside your Profiler. Four buttons switch of stomps and effects. The programming required is easier to learn than putting a new contact into your cell phone. Click to choose, assign, done.

Kemper Profiler Head Features:

• Stomp Effects: The Kemper Profiler offers 4 independent stomp slots, armed to to teeth with a stunning arsenal of effects. These include models of famous overdrive and distortion stomps, compressor, reverb, several delays and LoFi algorithms, and a beautiful rotary speaker emulation.
• The Archive: The Kemper Profiler makes it easy for you to share your personal library with other users. It already holds a vast number of rigs. Sharing a profile or rig is as easy as sending an e-mail.
• Profiling: Amplifier profiling is a unique way to extract the sound and feel of a tube amp and store it away for later use. Profiling doesn't just create a static snapshot; it can give you a deeper control of your sound than your original amp can provide. The response to your playing, dynamics and all other details are captured by the profiling process.
• The Input Stage: Thanks to a Hi-Z input optimized for passive guitar pickups, the Kemper Profiler offers a crystal clear signal path.
• The Stack: The Stack section of the Kemper Profiler consists of the profiled amplifier, equalizer and cabinet. You can mix and match any amp with any cabinet in your library. You can even creatively change the sonic behavior of any recently profiled amplifier.
• Master FX: The master effects section features reverb, delay and additional slots for stomp boxes to refine your amplifier's tone. The six knobs on the front panel offer convenient access to the most important settings. The reverb section features a dense and lively reverb algorithm which won't mask the original signal. The delay section features several tape and stereo delay algorithms which can be synched to MIDI clock.
• Amp Control: The Kemper Profiler includes the standard Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence controls that you would expect from a guitar amplifier. However, in contrast to many vintage amps, Kemper has kept the gain control neutral, so you are able to find the sweet spot of your amp, and run this optimal sound at any gain level.

Kemper Profiler Remote Features:

• The Looper - With a single click on a button, Remote turns into a fully-fledged Looper control station. Loops can be recorded, overdubbed, and deleted by using the buttons on the board. You can reverse, halftime, and undo takes. The maximum duration of a loop is thirty seconds. The Looper is exclusively available to Remote users.
• Programming Remote - Four buttons, which can be assigned individually for every program, can control multiple stomp effects at the same time. In order to associate an effect with a button, all you need to do is: Press a stomp button on your Profiler and hold the button of your choice on Remote at the same time. Done.
• Made with touring in mind - Remote connects to Profiler with a single cable. Kemper uses a Neutrik® etherCON® connector to ensure the most robust connection possible on stage. By using a powered ethernet hub, distances in excess of 100 meters (300ft) can be bridged with a simple Ethernet cable.
• Controllers and switches - The four TRS connectors on the rear panel can be used for continuous controllers and switches. Each controller can be freely assigned per program. Multiple assignments per controller are also possible. Status color LEDs give you a great overview on assignments and purpose of a switch/pedal.
• Administer other equipment - Remote allows you to control external MIDI gear by sending program change messages utilizing the MIDI output of your Profiler.
