Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The Profiler Stage MK2 brings Kemper’s Liquid Profiling and multi-effects processing to a black floorboard unit. It can run twenty audio effect blocks at once, with a looper and four jacks for switching or expression pedals built into the control format. Its connections cover main XLR and 1/4-inch L/R outputs, monitor L/R, send and return routing, MIDI, S/PDIF, and 8-channel USB audio. That makes it a single floor unit for controlled performance changes and direct computer-based recording workflows.
