Incredibly Lifelike Profiles of Real Guitar Amplifiers

Get to know them!

Using the Kemper Profiler, you can create snapshots of your very own amplifiers (or whatever you can get your hands on) and store them as Rigs for instant access — jamming at home or out on the road! It's a true guitar preamplifier with real gain and tone knobs ready to plug into a power amp, sound system, or recording system. The real magic begins when you start shaping your tone with the Profiler's tone controls — Kemper's high-tech wizardry makes your profiled amp respond amazingly accurately to the Profiler's tone and gain controls. So you can take a fantastic amp, capture its essence, and play it back anytime with complete gain and tone control. Call Sweetwater today to learn more about how the Kemper Profiling Amplifier can transform your guitar-playing experience.

Hundreds of factory presets and extensive online resources

Right out of the box, the Kemper Profiler has a ton of profiled amps ready to play. Just connect the Kemper to your sound system or recording rig, and you're set. And even if you don't have a collection of amps to profile, thousands of profiled Rigs are available online, and the community of Kemper users grows daily.

Profile your own tube amps!

Sound, tone, power, and feel. While the lifelike profiles included with the Profiler will appeal to every player, tube amp collectors will most significantly appreciate the Kemper's ability to digitize rigs for the road. It's easy to connect the Profiler 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 Kemper, 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. 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 is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
