Profile your own amplifiers

While the incredibly lifelike profiles included with the Profiling Amplifier will appeal to everybody, you'll love the Profiling Amplifier if you have a ton of amps already. It's easy to connect the Profiling Amplifier 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 studioEver been frustrated trying to recreate the perfect tone from a studio recording when you're on stage? With the Kemper Profiling Amplifier, available now at Sadek Music, that struggle is a thing of the past.  The Kemper allows you to profile your exact studio sound while you're recording. By simply splitting the mic signal you're tracking with and sending one feed to the Kemper, you can capture the precise tone of your performance—amp, mic, cab, and all. That means the tone you dialled in during your best take is now ready to be recalled live, anywhere in the world, with consistency and confidence. No more guesswork. No more chasing tones. With the Kemper Profiling Amplifier, your studio sound is always just a preset away.
