Are you a Kemper Profiler Player owner looking to enhance your sound and capabilities? Kemper has recently announced two paid upgrades, LVLII and LVLIII, that offer a range of new features and effects. But are these upgrades worth the investment? Let’s dive into what’s included and whether they’re a good fit for your needs.
LVLII: A Feature-Packed Upgrade
LVLII brings many additional effect emulations to the Kemper Profiler Player, mirroring those found in the larger models. There’s something to cater to various playing styles, from distortion and fuzz to pitch shifters, modulation effects, and reverbs.
With nearly 50 effects and a plethora of presets, LVLII offers a versatile sonic palette.
LVLIII: Expanding the Profiler’s Functionality
If you’re seeking even more advanced features, LVLIII takes the Profiler Player to the next level.
It introduces a looper function, expands the number of effect slots and rack slots, enables parallel effects routing, and offers MIDI program change functionality for automated preset switching. Notably, LVLII is a prerequisite for LVLIII.
Pricing and Availability
LVLII and LVLIII can be purchased individually or as a bundle directly from Kemper. LVLII costs $179/€179, LVLIII costs $149/€149, or you can get both for $299/€299.
You can find it at retailers like Thomann if you haven’t already purchased a Kemper Profiler Player.
Are the Upgrades Worth It?
Whether the LVLII and LVLIII upgrades are worthwhile depends on your specific needs and budget. If you frequently experiment with different effects and want to expand the sonic possibilities of your Profiler Player, these upgrades might be a valuable investment.
However, if you’re satisfied with the base features and don’t require the additional effects or advanced functionality, you might consider holding off.
Ultimately, whether to upgrade comes down to your preferences and how much value you place on the new features LVLII and LVLIII offers.
