Powerful profiling technology in a sleek rackmount amp.
The Kemper Profiler Rack MK2 guitar amp head pushes the boundaries of what a modern rackmount guitar amp can be, delivering the iconic profiling technology players trust in a sleek, tour-ready format. Updated for today's demands, the Rack MK2 packs a faster processor, an expanded FX engine and next-generation amp profiling tools that raise the bar for realism and feel. Whether you're dialing in studio-grade tones at home, tracking in the studio or hauling your rack rig on the road, the Profiler Rack MK2 puts world-class amps and effects at your fingertips with unmatched flexibility and sonic precision.
Liquid Profiling for Unbeatable Amp Realism
At the core of the Profiler Rack MK2 is Kemper's revolutionary Liquid Profiling technology. This next-level approach analyzes over 100,000 frequency points for every amp, capturing not just the tone but also the dynamic feel of the real thing. Unlike static profiles, Liquid Profiling lets you use the original amp's gain and tone controls as if the physical amp were right in front of you. You can shape your sound on the fly, tweak settings naturally, and hear it respond just like a classic tube head would. It's a new era for profiling, with depth, touch-sensitivity and authenticity that redefine what digital modeling can do.
20 Simultaneous Effects Blocks for All-In-One Tone Shaping
The Profiler Rack MK2 houses Kemper's most powerful effects system to date, offering up to 20 simultaneous effects blocks—more than any previous version. This includes seven new slots loaded with pedalboard staples like a second noise gate, vintage chorus, wah-wah, boost, double tracker and more. With zero added latency and studio-grade quality, you get all the tools to build layered textures, lush ambience or tight, aggressive tones, all without needing a separate pedalboard. From delicate delays to roaring distortions, every sound is available instantly, making this rack unit a complete live and studio solution for players who demand versatility and pristine audio.
Pro-Level Routing and USB Audio for Seamless Recording
Every gigging and recording player needs robust routing, and the Profiler Rack MK2 delivers. Dual stereo outputs, monitor outs, a stereo loop for external gear and multiple guitar inputs make integrating this unit into any rig effortless. Digital options include MIDI, S/PDIF up to 96 kHz and now native 8-channel USB audio for direct multi-track recording and reamping without needing an external interface. Plug it into your DAW and capture studio-quality dry and wet signals simultaneously. Whether you're reamping, layering parts or sending isolated tracks to the front of house, the Rack MK2 gives you total control over your signal path every step of the way.
Real-Time Morphing and Remote Control for Creative Freedom
Kemper's signature Morphing feature turns static tones into dynamic performances. Assign expression pedals or footswitches to morph between clean and gainy sounds, fade in effects or sweep EQ curves, all in real time. Performance Mode makes set changes instant and seamless, so you can switch rigs mid-song without dropouts. For added convenience, manage everything wirelessly via Rig Manager on your phone, tablet or desktop, whether you're in the studio or fine-tuning settings side stage. From subtle swells to wild tone shifts, Morphing gives you an organic, responsive playing experience you simply can't get with traditional digital gear.
Tour-Ready Rack Format With Trusted Kemper Build Quality
Built to handle the demands of touring musicians, the Kemper Profiler Rack MK2 guitar amp head packs all this power into a rugged 3U, 19" rackmount chassis that fits perfectly in your touring rig or studio rack. Inside, you'll find the same bulletproof build quality and intuitive layout that Kemper users have trusted for years.
