The Korena take

Kemper’s black Profiler PowerHead MK2 puts a 600W power amp, Liquid Profiling, effects processing, and wide-ranging I/O into an amp-head format. Twenty audio effect blocks can run simultaneously, while the looper and FX loop support a self-contained rig with external routing available. Main L/R outputs arrive on both XLR and 1/4-inch connections, alongside monitor out and DI. USB-B supplies 8-channel USB audio, making it suited to players who need an amplifier head that also connects directly to a recording workflow.
