Kemper Profiler player
The KEMPER PROFILER Player is the latest and most comprehensive professional amp and studio-quality effects sound service by profiling. Requiring only the space of two standard distortion pedals, the PROFILER Player transforms any pedalboard into a quality touring rig.
Moreover, the Player itself is already a quality touring rig that fits into any guitar bag. It offers the full arsenal of KEMPER amp sounds (yes, the Player's Amp section is identical to the Amp section of its famous big brothers - it loads any amp PROFILE from the vast library of existing free and commercial PROFILES), selected FX settings, IR loading, and switching possibilities - at home, in the studio, in the rehearsal room, and on stage.
Four effect blocks make the Player a standalone and professional live solution.
The Player's signal chain includes 4 effect modules in addition to the amplifier module. Up to two effects can be placed "before" the amp stack, and two others "after" the amp. The post-amp modules in the effects chain are ideal for delay and reverb effects. Delay and reverb offer "spillover" at any time, meaning the sound tail is not cut off when switching to another Rig.
The Kemper Profiler Player offers a massive and well-designed selection of 136 different FX settings drawn from the legendary FX arsenal of the KEMPER PROFILER, which includes over 444 FX presets in total.
