A Kemper that lives on your pedalboard? Yep! The Profiler Player finally answers the wishlists of amp-free guitar players with a more compact and affordable (£619) route into Kemper ownership. It can read any existing Kempercompatible amp profile, and connects wirelessly to the Kemper Rig Manager app for editing and setting-up of your patches. There’s effects, too, with 136 settings trickled down from the full Kemper Profiler, and these can be selected in four FX blocks. On the front panel, there’s real-time control for gain, EQ, FX levels Rig level, and a master volume, and Kemper has been generous with the outputs too with an XLR direct out, stereo monitor output and headphone socket, plus a footswitch input for hooking up an expression pedal. Keep your eyes peeled for a review soon!
