Overview

A profiling amp head with precise tone shaping and zero latency.

The Kemper Profiler PowerHead MK2 guitar amp head represents the ultimate all-in-one solution for guitarists and bassists who want the most authentic tones, the deepest profiling power and an integrated power amp—all packed into a robust amp head. This next-generation version upgrades Kemper's legendary Profiling technology with faster processing, expanded effects and even greater connectivity. Now featuring a built-in 600W power amp, the PowerHead MK2 lets you drive any guitar cabinet or full-range speaker with stunning clarity. Whether on stage, in the studio or at home, it's the most versatile, stage-ready Profiler Kemper has ever built.

20 Simultaneous Audio Effect Blocks for Unlimited Sonic Exploration

The PowerHead MK2 takes your effects rig to new heights with an expanded FX section offering 20 simultaneous audio effect blocks. Seven new dedicated slots add essentials like the Palm Ninja Noise Gate, Pure Booster, WahWah, Vintage Chorus, Air Chorus and Double Tracker, all running without additional latency. Combined with Kemper's iconic studio-grade effects, you get an unrivaled palette of reverbs, delays and modulations, all instantly accessible and easy to tweak. It's like having an entire premium pedalboard inside a single amp head—no rewiring, no fuss and your favorite settings are always ready to go.

Liquid Profiling Technology Delivers Next-Level Amp Modeling

Unlock the most precise and dynamic amp captures yet with Kemper's groundbreaking Liquid Profiling. This revolutionary tech analyzes over 100,000 frequency points for pinpoint accuracy, while dynamically adjustable cabinet resonance and longer impulse responses replicate your cab's natural feel. Liquid Profiling even integrates an amp's original gain and tone controls, turning a static snapshot into a living, breathing amp profile. Whether you're recreating your vintage combo or a boutique high-gain monster, the PowerHead MK2 delivers the original amp's responsiveness and harmonic complexity, right down to the last nuance of pick attack and finger touch.

Integrated 600W Power Amp for Seamless Stage and Studio Performance

The standout feature of the PowerHead MK2 is its robust 600W built-in Class-D power amp. This makes it easy to drive guitar cabinets, full-range speakers or Kemper's own Kone-equipped Kabinets without needing a separate amplifier. From pristine cleans to saturated leads, your profiles come alive at any stage volume. Stereo monitoring outputs, flexible routing options and extensive I/O—including main stereo outs, monitor out, loop send/return, MIDI, S/PDIF and USB audio—ensure the PowerHead MK2 fits seamlessly into any live or studio setup. Plug in, power up and take your profiled tones anywhere with total confidence.

Real-Time Control, Morphing and Rig Management

Performing with the PowerHead MK2 feels as inspiring as the tones themselves. Connect up to four expression pedals for real-time control over any parameter, or use Kemper's unique Morphing feature to smoothly transition between subtle variations or extreme tone shifts with a single foot tap. Use the included Rig Manager software or wireless remote editing with iOS, Android or FireOS devices for effortless organization and fine-tuning. Whether you're tweaking rigs at home or managing complex sets on the road, the PowerHead MK2's intuitive controls ensure you're always in command of your sound without missing a beat.
