No, but we’re definitely in a time of immense development in digital amplification. The problem might well be which brand or product to go for. 2 So, what is the Profiler Stage? A new floor-standing version of Kemper’s Profiler head preamp, combined with the Kemper Remote foot controller.

review KEMPER PROFILER STAGE 3. There is a fully featured built-in looper as well as an automatic tuner with a highly accurate strobe-display option 4. You get dedicated knobs for gain and master volume, while the smaller knobs in between can function as bass, mid, treble and presence but have other functions as well THE RIVALS Line 6’s Helix Floor (£1,199) is very popular.

KEMPER PROFILER STAGE review KEMPER PROFILER STAGE The Profiler Stage has main outputs on professional balanced XLR connectors, with ground lifting tucked away in the software effects, with distortions and reverbs making many rigs sound too similar. Ironically, quite a few of the online rigs are profiles of valve amp facsimiles made on other digital modelling products and software plug-ins, making one wonder how deep the rabbit hole can go.
