For a long time, many guitar amplifier manufacturers have been trying to fit the sound of all legendary amp models into a single unit. However, this was never quite successful—until 2012 when the company Kemper introduced the Profiling-Amp, opening a new chapter. Since then, it's been possible to unite the sounds of the most famous guitar amps. The completely new and unique profiling technology allows capturing any amplifier with a microphone and then editing it as desired. Surrounded by powerful electronics with high-quality DSP effects, extensive routing options, various cabinet and microphone models, and an intuitive interface resembling a real guitar amp, these legends of their time come to life anew. They can be further customized with contemporary features and permanently saved.
The Kemper Profiler Stage is the floorboard version of the Kemper concept and the latest addition to the Kemper family. With this board, the quest for the right amp finally ends. Thanks to the patented profiling technology, it's not just possible to have countless amp models always available in memory, but there's also the opportunity to record and preserve any amp, along with its sonic behavior - completely redefining the limits of flexibility. Countless additional digital editing options, like swapping the speaker of the recorded original for another type, adding high-quality effects, or the variable connection and routing options, make the Profiler Stage one of the most flexible guitar amps on the market.
The Kemper Profiler Stage, in its stage-ready pedal format, effortlessly meets any requirement and is undoubtedly to be regarded as an absolute professional machine. Fans of vintage sounds no longer have to spend a fortune to own the usually exorbitantly priced and, in some cases, very rare originals. Sound researchers and enthusiasts will find joy in exploring the many features of this sound monster just as much as studio musicians. In the studio, the Profiler Stage, with its versatile connectivity, replaces many guitar amps, ultimately saving as much effort in terms of time, wiring, and miking!
The German company Kemper Amps, founded by Christoph Kemper, is no stranger to the music industry. His first creation, the virtual-analogue Access Virus Synthesizer, was way ahead of its time and brought the company unprecedented success and high acclaim in the scene. Driven by this success, they then developed the Profiler technology, which allows an impressively realistic depiction of an amplifier recorded with a microphone, thus setting completely new standards in the field of digital amp simulation. This technology is available today in various Kemper Profiler system variants: as a standalone head, as a top with an integrated powerful Class-D power amp, as a rack unit, or as a floorboard.
Whether in the studio, on stage with an amp and box(es) as a powerful backline, or at home practicing in a quiet corner—the Profiler Stage, with its immense flexibility, offers unprecedented potential whose limits are solely determined by the user. The extensive connectivity of this pedal extends beyond a handful of outputs for the power amp. While those are present, the digital interfaces, such as S/PDIF or the two USB outputs, are particularly interesting. With them, the Profiler Stage's signal can be recorded entirely losslessly and swiftly in a studio DAW. However, numerous presets of the best guitar amps of all time are already stored in the Profiler Stage's memory, allowing for an immediate journey into the realm of sound!
