KEMPER PROFILER
Considerations Regarding Noise and Hum
♦
If you're profiling a very high-gain sound, you'll probably hear a certain amount of noise from your guitar amp.
This is the well-known "high-gain hiss" and nothing unusual. However, if you detect hum, or other noisy artefacts,
from your reference amp then you probably have a ground loop. Press the GROUND LIFT button on the back of
the Profiler for both the MAIN OUTPUTS and the RETURN INPUT. If that does not solve the problem, try different
combinations using the other GROUND LIFT buttons. It is important that at least one of the GROUND LIFT but-
tons is not pressed to make sure that the Profiler has at least one ground connection.

Remember that hum and noise is undesirable, and might have a negative influence on the profiling process. Of-
ten, the best results are achieved by pressing the Ground Lift buttons for all outputs except for direct out.
Other Considerations
♦
✔
✔
Make sure that you are hearing the previously selected Rig in the Profiler when you set the A/B comparison to
"Kemper amp", and the reference amp when you switch to "Reference amp". If you don't, re-connect your refer-
ence amp to the Profiler.
✔
✔
We do not recommend using a guitar cabinet as a reference monitor for profiling. For best results, please do your
profiling in a typical studio setting, using either linear studio monitors, or a PA.

If your amp provides a spring reverb, remember to turn it off for the profiling process.
