The Kemper Profiler PowerHead is a powered version of the critically-acclaimed Kemper Profiling Amp, offering the same great features but with a 600-watt power amp included.
While the original Kemper Profiling Amp was an incredible recording tool, the new Profiler PowerHead offers an all-in-one solution for stage and studio. The PowerHead maintains the small, lunchbox size of the original, and utilises the empty compartment at the back of the unit for housing the power amp.
The process of profiling an amplifier remains as simple as always, by simply placing a microphone in front of an amp and letting the Profiler do the rest. Separate profiles are taken of an amp's power amp stage and its speaker, so that profiles can be mixed and matched to create custom amp and speaker configurations.
Now, with the inclusion of the new Kemper CabDriver mode, the PowerHead can be plugged directly into a guitar speaker cabinet or stage monitor. The new power amp section offers a completely transparent sound, ensuring that the amp profile in use is not coloured by the power amp - something that would most likely be the case if used with an external power amp or valve power amp.
The PowerHead offers 600 watts at 8 ohms and 300 watts at 16 ohms, enabling it to be used with anything between a 1x12" speaker and a 4x12" cabinet. For existing Kemper Profiler owners, the original unit can be fitted with the power amp for a small fee.
