Profiler Remote
Designed to work seamlessly with PROFILER™The PROFILER Remote™ is the quintessential foot controller for your PROFILER. Kemper spent a tremendous amount of time creating a floor board that is both versatile and easy to operate. The tight integration between the PROFILER and the Remote allows you to control, administer and program without any knowledge about MIDI, or having to delve through cryptic data sheets.
The large, illuminated display is designed to be viewed from a distance, and the Remote's housing is built like a tank. Just what the doctor ordered for touring musicians on dark stages!
Five buttons allow you to directly access five different sounds ("Rigs") and entire Performances can be switched using a bank system. Dedicated buttons let you access the tuner, tap in the tempo, and enable the looper effect.
The Remote connects via a single Ethernet cable to your PROFILER. No extra power supply is required, and the included cable is seven meters long (21ft). Longer distances are possible if required via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) gear and supports even multiple Remotes connected to the same PROFILER.
Up to four continuous foot pedals can control multiple parameters inside your PROFILER. Four buttons switch effects on and off. Setting it up is easier to learn than putting a new contact into your cell phone. Click to choose, assign, done.
The PROFILER Remote supports Head, Rack, PowerHead and PowerRack models MK 1 Series as well as MK 2.
Programming Remote
Four buttons, individually assignable for each Rig, can control multiple effects at the same time. In order to associate an effect with a button, all you need to do is hold the Effect Button of your choice on the Remote and press an effect module button on your PROFILER at the same time. Done. Status color LEDs give you a great overview on assignments and purpose of a switch/ pedal.
Made with touring in mind
The Remote connects to PROFILER with a single cable. Kemper are using a Neutrik® etherCON® connector to ensure the most robust connection possible on stage. By using a powered ethernet hub, distances in excess of 100 m (300 ft) can be bridged with a simple Ethernet cable. Even multiple Remotes could communicate with the same PROFILER simultaneously.
Controllers and switches
The four TRS connectors on the rear panel can be used for expression pedals and switches. Pedals can be used to control volume, wah, pitch or Morphing, which allows to shift single or combinations of continuous parameters - all freely configurable by Rig. Multiple functional assignments can be assigned per expression pedal - for instance, volume + wah + pitch can easily be assigned to the one pedal.
Administer other equipment
The Remote allows you to trigger external MIDI gear by sending program change messages from the MIDI OUT of your PROFILER's Performance Mode.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
