Killer Amp Profiling from the Studio to the Stage!


The Kemper Profiler PowerHead packs the same awesome amp modeling and emulation of the original Kemper Profiling Amplifier plus a powerful 600-watt power amp. As with the rest of the Profiler Series, the Profiler PowerHead doesn't limit you to a bunch of preset models. Instead, it lets you create your own amp profiles and call them up whenever you like. What's more, Kemper's high-tech wizardry gives you total tone-tweaking control over your profiled amps, going well beyond gain and tone. Talk about a must-have studio and live performance tool — get your Kemper Profiler PowerHead from Sweetwater!

200 factory presets and extensive online resources

Right out of the box, the Kemper Profiler PowerHead has a ton of profiled amps ready to play. Just connect the Profiler PowerHead to your sound system or recording rig, and you're set. And even if you don't have a collection of amps to profile, there are hundreds of profiled amplifiers available online, and the community of Kemper profilers is growing every day.

Profile your own amplifiers

While the incredibly lifelike profiles included with the Profiler PowerHead will appeal to everybody, you'll love the Profiler PowerHead if you have a ton of amps already. It's easy to connect the Profiler PowerHead to the amp you want to profile, hook up a microphone, capture the sound of that amp, and store it as a preset. You'll be amazed at how accurately your profiled amp preset responds to the gain and tone controls.

The perfect link between stage and studio

Ever been frustrated trying to re-create the tone you captured on a recording when you play out live? Then you'll love the Profiler PowerHead, because it can profile your studio sound while you're recording. Just take a split of the mic you're recording with and use the split signal to connect to the Profiler PowerHead. You'll capture the sound of your studio performance, ready to be recalled on any stage in the world at a moment's notice. What's more, this Kemper Profiler PowerHead comes loaded with a 600-watt power amp section, so you're ready to rock out live with the same great tones.

Kemper Profiler PowerHead Features:

  • Lunchbox-style guitar amplifier can create profiles of any physical guitar amplifier
  • Onboard 600-watt power amplifier makes this an awesome live amp as well
  • Includes 200 amplifier profiles for you to start with
  • Easy to profile your own amplifiers — all you need is a microphone and cable, guitar cables, and a combo amp or amp head and cabinet
  • Built-in DI can split your signal to a direct output for simultaneous recording of your dry guitar signal and the guitar amp profile when used in the studio
  • Great-sounding collection of effects in addition to the amplifiers
  • Automatic spillover lets your delay and reverb tails fade out naturally when you change presets
  • You can lock individual module settings when changing presets, keeping your current delay effects settings while changing amp profiles
  • Effects loop lets you integrate your hardware effects and stompboxes

Most impressive Gear I’ve ever purchased!

Not being very tech savvy I was very intimidated and worried about purchasing the kemper. I am still shocked at how user friendly and easy it is to figure out. I have several tube amps that I dearly love but there is so many more advantages to the kemper and it sounds great and I'm still learning new things everyday. This thing is capable of so much it blows my mind.
Rated 5/5

Can't Believe How Good It Sounds!

I haven't even finished going through the rigs yet and I have found so many amazing sounds!! (I play metal primarily, but I'm looking for cleans and crunch as well) I think I'm about to put about 15 amps up for sale! I tried a Headrush Prime earlier this year and I still struggle to get anything usable out of that. I plugged the Kemper into a 4x12 cab (I got the PowerHead) and it sounds sick! I plugged it into my rack mixer that feeds a Crown power amp and monitors and it sounds even better!! Good lord, out of the box this thing is the best piece of gear I've ever owned.

My one criticism so far is that the interface is utterly baffling to me. I wanted to add a reverb and I'll need to consult the manual because I have no clue how to do it after 10 or 15 minutes of fumbling around. I'm sure once I get my head around the navigational structure it'll be fine. That being said, can't recommend these things enough. The hype is real imo.

In Love!

It's 1am where I live, just got done playing with my new Kemper and I got the compulsion to come here and say, if you're on the fence about this thing, JUST DO IT! You'll thank yourself immediately.

Longtime Kemper Owner

I've had my Kemper for years now. It is easily my favorite amp, and I have a nice collection of tube amps including some OG vintage stuff. The Kemper power head sounds great through a cab in the room and it has plenty of volume to play in a proper band setting. And it is so nice to go SPDIF directly into my DAW interface so levels are always perfect and there are no attenuation issues with analog cables. 90% of the guitar tracks I've recorded over the past five years have been done on the Kemper because it sounds amazing in a mix, and it is so easy to get back to the exact tone I was using even if it's been months since I originally tracked a part.

Game Changer

As always, thanks to my Sweetwater sales rep Bob Mondok for getting this out in the mail so quickly.

I'm only on day number two of playing with this technological gem, and I'm pretty convinced that I'm going to profile all of my other amps and then sell them off.

There's a bit of a learning curve, but I can't complain cause there was with learning guitar as well.

So far I've been utilizing the Rig Manager application to comb through 19,000 free online rigs and picking out my favorites....oh yeah, and bass rigs as well!

I ran the output to an Egnater 12" cabinet and it checks all the boxes for sonic bliss...low end, high end, everything!

It covers everything from glassy clean to dark and brutal.

Hands down the best gear purchase I have made in decades!!
