As well as profiling the sound of an amp, it also saves the sound of the speaker cabinet, providing an uncanny resemblance to the original. Other guitarists' amp profiles can also be added to your Profiling Amp from the Kemper Rig Exchange, enabling users to build up a collection of their favourite amplifiers, all in one small package.

The process of profiling an amplifier is simple and straight forward, by placing the Profiling Amp in the signal chain between your guitar and your amp and placing a microphone in front of the amp. The Kemper Profiling Amp sends a signal through the amp and uses the microphone to pick up the results. The whole process takes less than a minute, and an A/B comparison feature allows instant access to the profiled sound and the original amp to compare the two and make final tweaks to the profile.

Because the Profiling Amp takes a profile of the power amp stage and the speaker separately, amps can be mixed and matched with different cabinets to create custom rigs. It also includes a stompbox profiler, a master FX section and a set of unique parameters for further shaping the amplifier’s profiles from classic to modern sounds.
