Can I connect a Roland JC 120 Jazz Chorus to my Kemper Powered Profiler? I just bought it and for the life of cannot figure out how to connect it. I don't want to connect power to power and blow the whole system. Please help!

Hi mpjahoda.
Use an ordinary guitar cable to make the connection from the PROFILER MONITOR OUTPUT to the Roland Effect Loop RETURN L/MONO.
On the PROFILER
- In the OUTPUT section [Page 1]
- Set Monitor Output to Master Mono
- Enable Monitor Cab Off (second soft button above the screen should be lit)
- Optional - OUTPUT section [Page 9/9] Power Amp
- Turn off the Power Amp
- Use the first soft button - Power Amp Off
- This saves energy and eliminates the risk of connecting the PROFILER speaker output to the Roland amp
- Turn off the Power Amp
Here's an explanation
Read "Working with Amplifier PROFILEs, Cabinet PROFILEs, Power Amps and Guitar Cabinets" in Kemper Profiler Main Manual 8.5 .
- In the OUTPUT section [Page 1]

Thank you so much for the help! Honestly so grateful, but I actually bought an older JC 120 that doesn't have the mono. I attached a photo below that has the back of my current Roland amp.

Hi, mpjahoda.
I did some hunting around on the web. I couldn't find a manual, but I did find some discussion.
You should be able to connect the PROFILER MONITOR OUTPUT to one of the JC 120 MAIN IN inputs (either one should work).

Thank you so much. Absolutely amazing that you were willing to research this for me. I'll try it out tomorrow! Thank you again!

Going into one of the main ins will only feed one of the JC's poweramps though (plus you wouldn’t be able to enjoy the JC's CHORUS in full glory which is a shame).
Therefore I'd go into the JC's inputs.
The JC's preamp section can be set very neutral and the Profiler will sound great through it.

Thank you! I will try this all out! Really appreciate the help!
