Overview

Revolutionary amp profiling technology in a compact head.

The Kemper Profiler Head MK2 guitar amp head continues the legacy of one of the most revolutionary amp systems ever created, giving guitarists and bassists unmatched tone-capturing power in a compact, stage-ready format. With the MK2 update, Kemper brings a faster processor, a deeper effects engine and new profiling technology that takes amp replication to an entirely new level. Whether you're gigging, recording or practicing at home, the Profiler Head MK2 offers the same authentic amp tones you love, now with even more flexibility and creative freedom than before. It's a powerhouse that stays true to its original promise—your entire rig in one box.

Next-Generation Profiling for Unmatched Amp Authenticity

At the heart of the Profiler Head MK2 is Kemper's new profiling technology, designed to capture amp nuances with unprecedented detail. It analyzes over 100,000 frequency points, ensuring that every harmonic and dynamic response feels just like the real deal. New Liquid Profiling seamlessly integrates an amp's gain and tone controls, so a single profile behaves like a living, breathing amp—not a static snapshot. This next-gen approach also includes advanced cabinet resonance, allowing you to replicate the push and pull of speaker movement more accurately than ever. With the MK2, your profiles don't just sound right—they feel right, too.

Expanded FX Engine With 20 Effect Blocks for Total Sonic Control

The Profiler Head MK2 redefines built-in effects power with its newly expanded architecture. Players now have access to 20 simultaneous effects blocks, including seven all-new slots featuring must-have essentials like a second noise gate, vintage chorus, double tracker, boost and more. This means you can craft huge, layered tones that would usually require a full pedalboard, all without the hassle of cables or patching. Better still, every effect runs with zero added latency and pristine studio-grade quality. Whether you want ambient washes, gritty drives or surgical dynamics control, the MK2 puts a full suite of tools at your fingertips.

Flexible Routing and Connectivity for Any Rig

Routing your sound is effortless thanks to the Profiler Head MK2's comprehensive I/O and flexible design. It features stereo main outputs, optional stereo monitor outputs, multiple guitar inputs and a send/return loop for integrating your favorite outboard pedals or rack effects. Digital connections include MIDI, S/PDIF that runs up to 96kHz, plus robust USB audio with eight channels for seamless multi-track recording and reamping in your DAW—no external interface required. Whether you're sending direct to front-of-house, recording multi-mic cabs or reamping studio takes, this head slots into any setup without compromising your tone or workflow.

Real-Time Control and Morphing for Expressive Performance

Kemper's Morphing technology lets you push your performances further by blending settings on the fly. Connect up to four expression pedals or switches to dynamically control gain, EQ, effects depth or any continuous parameter, creating transitions that feel fluid and organic. Switch patches instantly with zero lag using the dedicated Performance Mode, and enjoy wireless editing and rig management through Rig Manager on iOS, Android, Windows or macOS. Whether on stage or in the studio, Morphing unlocks new levels of expression, letting you shape your sound in real time instead of being locked to static presets.
