Plenty of friendly folks here.
I disagree that everyone around here has to say the Kemper is perfect.
That’s the Fractal board.

Win11 is quite stable in my experience.

Thanks for all the answers. I was hoping this was doable from the profiler itself (I have the head model with remote) but it seems like it is not.
You can morph generic gain like any other variable parameter. Go to the amp section, page 4.
The first soft dial is Generic Gain. Set to morph, save, done. -
You *can* make it function using an insert cable.

It’ll work….but the taper for a volume pedal is very different from an expression. Lots of nothing and the *lots* of change. -
ON HERE, and Don't come at me again i need no MORE warnings for my opinions .
Way to overreact.

(anyone who’s tried to profile distorted Mesa amps knows what I mean)
In 6 or 7 years is spending WAY too much time here and elsewhere discussing all things Kemper…..this is the first time I’ve heard this.

lol so many will tell you it's perfect no need for anything new 🏃🏾♂️➡️🏃🏾♂️➡️🏃🏾♂️➡️🏃🏾♂️➡️
How ridiculous.
Where have you seen that?

It’s not 1 to 1 in the feature set, but so close it won’t matter to a majority. A Level 3 will has all the slots and effects as the larger units. Identical sounds.
- It can receive, but not send MIDI data (other than MIDI clock).
- There is no locking feature
- A few deep parameters aren’t availableCould they be added later? Sure. Don’t buy thinking they will.

These are all businesses, as long as they can make money, doing anything is worth it.
Yeah…..no. I hate this mentality.
These guys aren’t money whores.
A 2011 Profiler can be updated to operate *exactly* as one built today. For no money.How is that a financially sound business model?
Doesn’t matter - it is. -
Killjoy here….(you asked)..
These are my opinions and nothing more.
I doubt there will ever be a ‘two amp’ solution. That’s been asked and answered with a ‘no’ many, many times.
Christophe is an inventor first. Ain’t no way NAM gets incorporated. Anybody can do that - and other than fringe devices, no one has. That’s basically a ‘me-too’.
He has said the Profiling process is as refined as he believes as it can be. It’s not processing power or ‘adding AI’ - it is what it is based on his comments, and tied directly to the chip used.I haven’t messed with the fuzz side by side like I have with the Drive. I was sold on it when A/B’ing my King of Tone. It got to the point where I was guessing wrong (thinking the Drive was the real thing) half the time.
The only thing ‘wrong’ with the Profiler is it’s been around and fundamentally unchanged since 2011. In a world where the Next Big Thing rules and New is ‘better’….its an annoying anachronism that someone got it *so* right the first time…..and no one followed for a decade.
The Quad Cortex was released ten years later….(2021), Tonex 2022 and NAM in 2023.Despite ‘tests’ for accuracy, the Profiler still seems to sell very well.
-
No. Absolutely not.
They can operate at either voltage, but the Profile being used is going to sound the same. Digital isn’t affected the way an analog circuit can be.
Even then, if it were analog it *might* make a difference. Not enough to care.A couple of Wampler pedals I had could run at 9 or 18v. If there was a difference in sound…..I never heard it.
Zero chance a higher voltage changes the sound.

Look into the Forum.
Most posts/problems are with the Player and the last firmware updates were mostly about/because of problems with the player.
🤷🏽
Strange how that’s the newest unit with many first-time owners.
-
While you can't morph any parameter that is on/off (or fast/slow)
You *can* assign the tap, looper or tuner buttons to may other functions. Including rotary speed. Just sayin'
-
Unlike the Stage, the loop in the Head/Rack doesn’t have dedicated in/out jacks.
The Direct out is the Send, Alternate Input the return.
-
There is no Kemper 2.
That ‘rumor’ has been circulated since about an hour after the Profiler was released in 2011.
-
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
Nah…..there’s been plenty of communication.
They’ve said ‘no’. More than once if I’m not mistaken.
-
Unfortunately, this has been requested many times over the years.
No joy yet.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you’re someone who knows the exact sound you want - how to tweak a unit to get it - and don’t mind the effort - Fractal or Helix may be your thing.
I had a QC for about a week. The amps were ok (‘ish). The two things I couldn’t get past were the substandard effects, and really basic controls on both the amps and effects.
One of the Kemper’s best kept ‘secrets’ is the adjustability of the amp beyond bass, mid, treble and presence. The Definition control, as far as I’m aware, is unique to the Profiler. Clarity (for dirty sounds) as well. The cabinets have big ranges as well.
It’s not so much which is better from a sonic perspective. Everything you’ve mentioned can sound good depending on the person‘s ear.
To me it boils down to workflow and which one agrees with you most in that respect. -
Agreed.
*If* they do anything, it’s almost a given to be unconventional in some way.
