Infinite amps in a dual-pedal format

Since 2012, Kemper has been synonymous with innovation – but why? The team led by Christoph Kemper has succeeded in making convincing amplifier sounds in a compact digital format mainstream. The unique profiling technology allows users to digitally capture any amplifier with a microphone and then process and customise it to their needs, either directly via a Kemper device or using the Rig Manager software. The Kemper Profiler Player offers the most convenient form factor: The size of just two standard pedals, it fits on almost any pedalboard, so carrying heavy amps is definitely a thing of the past.

Kemper Profiler Player Multi-effect Pedal for Electric Guitar

Carry everything in just 1110 grams

Kemper products can be found on countless stages and in studios worldwide. With impressive sounds and a direct, dynamic response, they've convinced many traditionalists to leave their beloved full-stack setup at home. In the compact dual-pedal format, the Kemper Profiler Player has a straightforward and simplified layout compared to its larger counterparts, but the profiling power remains unchanged! For musicians constantly searching for new sounds and amplifiers, this offers the opportunity to end that quest. Powerful electronics, high-quality DSP effects, and an almost endless library of amplifier and speaker models invite users to craft their perfect sound. Extensive flexibility, amazing sounds, and pleasing compactness are the defining features of this latest innovation from German manufacturer Kemper.

Incredible sound without compromise

The Kemper Profiler Player delivers professional-grade sounds in any situation! With around 200 different DSP effects, users can build their dream rig. Up to four effect blocks can be added to the desired amp profile – two pre-amp and two post-amp. While the compact size doesn't compromise sound quality, it did make a reduced control surface necessary. However, three assignable footswitches provide plenty of options. And if that's not enough, the smaller form factor is actually a huge advantage: The compact Kemper integrates easily into a pedalboard setup, and other pedals can expand its already extensive sound palette.

About Kemper

German firm Kemper Amps, or rather its founder Christoph Kemper, is no stranger to the music industry. His very first product, the virtual-analogue Access Virus synthesizer, was far ahead of its time and brought the company both unexpected success and an impressive reputation within the music profession. Continuing the momentum of this success, the company then developed the “Profiler” technology, which allows an astonishingly realistic reproduction of the sound of a miked amplifier to be made and thus represents the dawn of a new era in digital amplifier simulation. This technology is currently available in different variants of the Kemper Profiler system: As a basic head, as a top with a powerful Class-D power amp integrated, as a rack-mountable unit, and even as a floorboard.

Comfortable and stress-free

Whether as a backup solution in case something goes wrong or as the primary sound source – everyone will find what they need here. With its headphone jack, the Kemper Profiler Player makes a fantastic practice tool, but it goes well beyond that, providing a comprehensive and compact solution for almost every imaginable musical situation. Two stereo monitor outputs and an XLR output make it easy to be heard on any stage equipped with a sound system. Connecting in a studio environment is just as simple and stress-free. Just plug in, and a full range of sounds is instantly available.

Great sound, no distraction
Tymur 14.02.2024
I've been looking for a compact multifx that be easy to handle and sound good for a while. Kemper's youngest product, Profiler Player - does all you need to enjoy playing in a small box, no need to spend days learning the device, no complex controls. The Player product has a fully powered tone configuration on a desktop and mobile app, and for easy tweaks you can also use the controls on the multifx itself, which gives you a nice feel of toggles that you would find on a real amp.
Sound and emulation quality put it in one tier with industry leaders, so you can rely on it in any venues to play live. As a bonus, bluetooth play-along, "transpose" feature to avoid constant re-tuning (best pitch-shifter-like solution I ever used) and compact size make it a great solution for home practicing and jamming.

Suitable for analog pedal board or stand-alone use
ilker.guitar 28.06.2025
It's a very good pedal for small to medium sized bar scenes. i use it with 2 drive pedals in front of it. the amps are very high quality and sound very realistic. i bought the “M-Vave Chocolate Plus” (foot controller) for more control. You can also control it via iPad or phone.

Angst vor der eigenen Courage?
Stephan440 26.12.2023
Als langjähriger Kemper-Nutzer (Powered Toaster mit Remote) bin ich vor ca. 2 Jahren auf einen Quad Cortex umgestiegen, und zwar aus einem einzigen Grund: Der Form-Faktor. Auch wenn der Kemper deutlich weniger Schlepperei als das Marshall-Top vorher darstellte, der Quad Cortex war dann einfach noch einmal die Hälfte davon, der passt ja praktisch mit in den Gigbag. Soundmäßig gaben sich Kemper und Cortex nicht viel, beide oberste Liga.
Der Kemper Player ist nun bei der Größe eines Helix Stomp angelangt, freilich aber mit den für meinen Geschmack deutlich besseren Amp Models bzw. Profiles. Direkt out of the Box sind auch die besten Profile der einschlägigen Meister des Profiling-Fachs dabei (z.B. einige von Michael Britt, TAF, ...), die ich beim großen Kemper schon kennen und lieben gelernt habe.
Natürlich ist man im Vergleich zu den größeren Profilern hinsichtlich Funktionalität etwas eingeschränkt: mit hardwareseitig nur 3 Fuss-Schaltern und softwareseitig nur jeweils max. 2 Effekten vor und hinter dem Amp/Cab-Stack muss man sich etwas genauer überlegen, was man sich da wohin legt. Das ist aber dadurch, dass praktisch keine Verzögerung beim Umschalten der Presets vorhanden ist, selbst für ein Top-40 Programm kein Problem.
Es sei denn, und da kommt nun der kleine Pferdefuss, man benötigt z.B. einen Pitch-Shifter. Die Effektgruppe gibt es zwar, aber darin findet sich lediglich ein einzelner Effekt, nämlich ein Octaver. Dass dem Gerät für Höheres die Processing-Power fehlt, kann ich mir fast nicht vorstellen. Eher schon, dass Kemper hier etwas Angst vor der eigenen Courage hat, und Leute mit dieser Lücke bewusst in Richtung Kemper Stage führen will. Sehr Schade.
Trotzdem, overall ist der Kemper Player ein Top-Gerät, mit dem man die Sounds der Profi-Liga der Modeler bzw. Profiler nun für deutlich kleineres Geld bekommt. Das Konzept, die Bedienung am Gerät auf das Wesentlichste einzuschränken, und das eigentliche Soundbasteln dann über die Rig-Manager Software zu erledigen (PC, Mac, Android, IOS) ist meines Erachtens zukunftsweisend.
Ob ich meinen Cortex nun verkaufe muss ich mal sehen, ich könnte es mir aber durchaus vorstellen.
NACHTRAG 28.09.2024: Nun gibt es von Kemper paid upgrades und das LVL2 update hat alle Effekte der großen Kempers. Problem solved, wenn auch gegen erneuten Münzeinwurf.
