REVIEW KEMPER PROFILING AMPLIFIER RACK

IS THE KEMPER PROFILING AMPLIFIER WORTH IT?

PRELUDE

Getting ready for the real tube vs digital smackdown

The Kemper Profiling Amplifier is a digital guitar amplifier. It has an input gain control, digital effects processing, speaker cabinet simulation and a standard complement of bass, mid, treble and presence tone controls. It is available in an oversize lunch box package or a rack mount unit, either configuration can be optionally configured with a 600 watt internal power amplifier. All that is the standard stuff. What really sets this thing apart is the somewhat bizarre, and totally unique way it can sound like any amplifier through a process called "profiling". Will Kemper destroy the tube amplifier industry by cloning the sound of all the best pieces into digital profiles?
