KEMPER PROFILER MK 2: The Next Evolution in Amp Modeling
Kemper has just rewritten the rulebook for digital guitar tone. With the release of the KEMPER PROFILER MK 2, the renowned German company pushes the boundaries of amp modeling, offering guitarists, bassists, and producers the most powerful version of their iconic profiling platform yet. Whether you’re a studio pro, touring musician, or bedroom producer, this is the tone solution you’ve been waiting for.
🚀 Blazing-Fast Performance
The MK 2 brings a major upgrade in speed and power. Thanks to a new, more efficient processor, the unit boots in around 20 seconds—twice as fast as its predecessor. Preset switching is instantaneous, giving players ultra-smooth transitions and zero lag on stage or in the studio.
This responsiveness is more than just a convenience; it’s a game-changer for live performance and real-time creativity.
🎛️ Expanded Effects Engine
One of the standout features of the MK 2 is its massively expanded effects section. With up to 20 simultaneous effect blocks, you can now build insanely complex signal chains—without sacrificing tone or performance.
Some of the new effects include:
-
Dual Noise Gates (including the all-new “Palm Ninja” gate)
-
Studio-grade Compressors
-
Vintage and Air Choruses
-
Double Tracker
-
Wah effects
-
Pure Booster and more
These aren’t basic, throwaway FX. They’re deep, tweakable, and studio-ready.
🧪 Liquid Profiling Is Coming
Kemper is set to introduce Liquid Profiling, a revolutionary technology that goes beyond traditional amp captures. By analyzing over 100,000 frequency points, Liquid Profiling replicates not just the tone but the dynamic behavior of tube amps—including real-time EQ and gain interactions.
Imagine capturing your favorite amp and still being able to dial in the gain or tone knobs as if you were playing the real thing. That’s the promise of Liquid Profiling—and it’s coming soon as a free firmware update for MK 2 users.
🎚️ USB Audio Interface and Advanced Looper
The PROFILER MK 2 now includes 8-channel USB audio capability, allowing you to record dry and wet signals simultaneously. No need for an external interface—just plug and play.
The integrated looper has also been upgraded. It now offers up to 2 minutes of looping time, perfect for live layering, practice, or writing riff ideas on the fly.
🧳 Lighter, Rugged Design
With a newly designed aluminum chassis, the Stage version of the MK 2 is lighter yet more durable than ever. Whether you’re packing for tour or heading to a local session, this is the most road-ready PROFILER yet.
Plus, with its sleek, modern look, it’s just as stunning to look at as it is to hear.
