OKAY, SO WHAT DID I JUST BUY?
First of all, thank you for choosing the KEMPER™ PROFILER™, or PROFILER for short. We have no doubt that once
you realize everything it can do, you will be as thrilled with it as we are. Our ultimate goal is to provide a complete
solution for your guitar-playing needs, which is why we choose not to restrict you to a predefined set of digital amp
models. As a result, KEMPER™ have created the first digital guitar amp that allows you to make a PROFILE™ of your
own guitar amp. You can also load a PROFILE of other guitarists’ amplifiers - and not just a simulation, but their exact
digital sound and feel!
GETTING STARTED
This chapter takes you through the first steps. It focuses on the most typical setups and applications. It covers
making connections, tuning the guitar, selecting sounds, editing sounds, adding eects, and how to control volume
and eects via pedals.
The PROFILER is also a great companion for bass players. Its incredible versatility has helped convince many
professional players to make the switch as it allows them to tailor their individual sound. Please refer to the chapter
“Special features and useful hints for bass players” in our Main Manual.

MAKING CONNECTIONS
Connect your guitar to the INPUT on the right side of the front
panel.
If you want to use headphones, plug them into the HEADPHONE
output on the left.
If you are going to play through a mixing desk, computer audio
interface or powered monitor speakers, then connect the MAIN
OUTPUTS on the rear side (either XLR or TS) to the inputs of the
receiving device.
Don’t forget to connect the power cable to a power outlet. Don’t
be concerned about voltage - the PROFILER adapts automatically!
Power the unit on by turning the chicken-head knob to the
BROWSER position. Wait until the unit completes the boot
sequence, at which point the home screen of the Browser Mode
will appear.
Play your guitar. Control the volume of the PROFILER with the
MASTER VOLUME knob in the upper right half of the unit.
If you own a PROFILER Remote, then connect it to the NETWORK
socket using the Ethernet cable provided.

SWITCHING RIGS
The PROFILER comes with numerous guitar amp setups, including
eects. These are called “Rigs”, and the library of Rigs stored on
your PROFILER is called the “Rig pool”.
The four buttons that form the RIG navigation cross next to the
INPUT socket are used to browse the Rig pool.
Using the RIG navigation cross, press Right to step forwards, and
Left to step backwards through the Rig pool. Use the Up/Down
Buttons to take larger steps.
You can also use the BROWSE knob: a window will open with the
list of Rigs to browse through. After a short time, the selected Rig
will load, the window will disappear automatically, and the home
screen will reappear.
The optional PROFILER Remote provides a third option for
browsing the Rig pool using Rig Buttons 1 - 5 and the Up/Down
Buttons.
By default, the Rigs in the pool are organized in alphabetic order.
Other options may come in handy. For instance, use the “Sorted
by…” soft button and select “By Gain” to sort the Rigs according
to the level of distortion they produce.

EDITING AND STORING RIGS
You can tweak the current Rig and store any changes you want to
keep. For instance, if you want to boost Treble, turn the
corresponding soft knob on the home screen.
Press the UNDO button to discard the last change you made. The
REDO button applies it again.
If you want to store the edited Rig, press STORE. A dialog will
open with the following options:
»“Replace”updates the original Rig without changing its name.
»“Store As” saves a new Rig with a dierent name (the original
Rig remains untouched).
»“Rename” updates and renames the current Rig.
