KEMPER PROFILING™ Technology - The Original Amp Profiling Standard

PROFILING

The Original. The Standard.

When KEMPER introduced the PROFILER™, we didn’t release another digital amp.

We introduced PROFILING™.

For the first time, guitarists could create precise digital recreations of their own analog amplifiers. Not models. Not approximations. But measured digital versions of real amps in real setups.

The PROFILER was the first device that allowed musicians themselves to generate authentic digital copies of their tube amps.

That changed the industry.

PROFILING established a new category — and set a benchmark that still defines the standard for amp capturing today.

How PROFILING Works

PROFILING analyzes the complete signal chain of a real amplifier setup.
From the guitar signal entering the amp to the sound captured by the microphone, every element that shapes the tone becomes part of the PROFILE™.

The result is a precise digital recreation of the entire amplifier setup — ready to play, refine and recall anytime.

Liquid PROFILING

Captured Tone. Real Control.

Traditional PROFILING captures the sonic fingerprint of an amplifier and its signal chain.

Liquid Profiling™ transforms that snapshot into a living amplifier.

By integrating the authentic gain structure and tone stack behavior of the original amp, Liquid Profiles recreate the real control interaction — not just the sound.

Adjusting Gain and EQ feels and responds exactly like on the original amplifier.

Liquid Profiling bridges the gap between PROFILING and modeling — delivering the best of both worlds.

PROFILING 2.0

The Most Organic Amp Tones Ever Captured.

With PROFILING 2.0, KEMPER introduces the next level of amp PROFILING technology — delivering the most complete, dynamic and lifelike Profiles ever achieved.

For every new Profile, more than 100,000 individual frequency points are meticulously analyzed. The system uses the longest and most intricate impulse responses ever implemented in a guitar PROFILER.

The result is an ultra-high-resolution capture of the amplifier’s true dynamic behavior — including real speaker and cabinet bass resonance, now fully adjustable via dedicated parameters.

Unlike simple “amp snapshots,” PROFILING 2.0 is rooted in deterministic, analog-inspired measurement based on pure physics — preserving every nuance of your amplifier’s sonic character.

And despite its increased depth and precision, the entire PROFILING process is faster than ever.

Inside PROFILING 2.0

Advanced Dynamic Profiling

PROFILING 2.0 analyzes more than 100,000 frequency points, allowing the system to capture not only tonal character but also the amplifier’s true dynamic behavior.

Cabinet Resonance Capture

Real speaker cabinet bass resonance is captured during profiling and can be adjusted later using Resonance Frequency and Resonance Intensity parameters.

Authentic Gain Detection

The PROFILER automatically detects the amplifier’s true gain level during profiling and applies it directly to the Gain control for natural adjustment later.

Level-Calibrated Hardware Response

KEMPER’s level-calibrated hardware ensures every Profile responds consistently and authentically — on any PROFILER model and with any guitar.

Smart DI Profiling

When profiling without a cabinet via DI box or load box, the system automatically creates a DI Profile that can later be paired with impulse responses or merged cabinets.

Liquid Profiling Integration

When a supported amplifier model is selected, Liquid Profiling integrates the authentic gain stage and tone stack behavior directly into the Profile — turning a static capture into a fully interactive amplifier.

Authentic Amp Tone

Analyze the complete signal chain — amplifier, speaker and microphone — and recreate it with exceptional realism and precision.

True Dynamic Response

With level-calibrated hardware and ultra-wide dynamic range, every Profile responds like the original amp — on any PROFILER model, with any guitar.

Deep Control

From Authentic Gain Detection to adjustable Cabinet Resonance and intuitive Tube Stage Controls — refine your tone far beyond a static snapshot.

Built to Evolve

PROFILING 2.0 is available for all PROFILER MK2 models as part of the free OS 14.0 update. All other PROFILER models remain fully compatible and can run 2.0 Profiles.

PROFILING didn’t just change digital guitar amps.
It created a new standard.
