Talking through some of the elements of Martin Gore’s live gear setup for Depeche Mode’s 2013 Delta Machine Tour, Jez Webb mentions Martin Gore’s use of the Kemper Profiling Amplifier (3:17 into the video): “The new addition to the setup is the Kemper Profiling Amplifier. This is the first tour we’ve used that. Within a couple of days [of receiving it] we dialed in roughly six - eight songs. We found it very easy to use, the interface, the layout of it, particularly the way it’s split into three sections: your effects, the amp, and delays & reverbs, etc. So as I say we were pretty much out the box, plug it in, we were up and running and using that. From this, we take a stereo feed into the [Rivera amps, the Venus 5](https://equipboard.com/items/rivera-venus-5-head)…”

This amp can be seen in Chris rack here for his animato and distortion channel

"Profiling means you setup your amps and you can make what is essentially a tone print of your amp/mic chain to take with you. For the sake of weight, I wanted to try it. "I’ve been using the Rectos for so long for a specific sound, but I wanted to see if we could do it with less weight. There’s a 23kg weight restriction when you fly and we have to keep our costs down. So I tried the Kemper and it’s worked out killer. "This rack-mounted one has a 400-watt Class D power amplifier under it. So I have a Mesa cab onstage to get some sort of air movement, which I do like. I miss having amps onstage. The whole completely direct thing kind of sucked for me. So having the cab onstage has been great," says Devin Townsend, on [Music Radar](http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/rig-tour-devin-townsend-project-621935/20).

Rivers on the Kemper Profiler: “I just profiled the setup I was using before. It was the Diezel VH4 - I did all my main crunchy rhythm sounds, plus my crazy sustain lead. I got everything I need and then over time I started adding things into my lead channel, like an octave lower or a crazy chorus or a little flange. I built all these different sounds, it was really a lot of fun. And all I use beyond that is my Boss tuner!”

¨Not long ago, I used to run four amps at the same time and we were starting to play live on TV - for example, we recently did ´Later... With Jools Holland.´ If you send four mics from four different amps that are always changing to someone in a BBC truck, they´ll think, ´F*** you - it all sounds the same!´ This makes my signal a lot easier for everyone. My main clean sound is a 1957 Fender Champ, my main fuzz profile is a 1962 Vox AC30. There are about 100 Marshalls in there, too. We even profiled The Big Cheese pedal by Audio Kitchen, which works as an amp you can run through a cab and ended up being used for 90 per cent of our albums... some things are too fragile to take on tour! (Total Guitar, January 2017)¨

But I just stopped."

Dec is using a Kemper Profiler Rack in his live rig.

At 14:52 Paolo proceeds to talk about his use of the Kemper.

I don't know how much it has changed, really. I mean, in 2002 we went with SansAmp, and on the last tour we did I think I had five Marshall amps hot rodded with the eight Marshall cabs. But this time we're going to go with Kemper. It's like an Axe FX kind of rack. I actually get to simulate the guitar sound I have in the studio. I don't know how it's going to work, but they say it's very simple. I just got it at home today, so I'm going to sit and program it and do everything with it. Hopefully, that's going to be enough. No speakers, only the pre-amps.

Alex Gaskarth says in [this Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/kemperamps/posts/1058187784197544) "There's nothing like Kemper. We've used other profilers and amp simulators in the past and they just never compare to the real thing. Kemper gets the job done, and it makes touring the world with every amp sound we know and love so simple and straightforward, without sacrificing tone, quality and organic sound.”

Alex and Jack are shown here in front of their Kemper Profiler Rack Guitar Amp System. Jack says in [this Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/kemperamps/posts/1058187784197544) "Kempers have changed touring for me. In the past I believed that no matter what, digital heads would always sound a little "robotic". But now I have been proven wrong. My Kemper has given me any amp I could imagine. As crisp and accurate as the real thing."

> I recently converted over to Kemper where I have the rack mount version with the built in power amp. That’s pretty much my entire rig at this point.

Neil uses Kemper Profilers while on tour. He switched to kemper as a way to cut down on shipping costs. It would have cost alot more to ship a regular amp head and cab around the world for tours. He set up his presets while recording the album Bad Vibrations. Bill Stevenson of Decendents helped get the presets while producing the album. The presets are bassed off Neil's Bogner Extacy, EVH 5150 III, and Marshall JCM 800 amps. They tone matched the amps and the kemper until they sounded as identical as possible

Josh uses a Kemper Profiler on tour. Much like the rest of ADTR, he switched to a Kemper as a way to cut down on shipping costs.

He uses this preset rather than tone matching his personal amp collection

Kevin uses a Kemper Profiler on tour. Much like the rest of ADTR, he switched to a Kemper as a way to cut down on shipping costs. It would cost an insane amount more to ship a regular amp and cab around the world for tours. With the help of Bill Stevenson of Descendents, Kevin amp matched all of his personal amps. The Presets he uses are matched to his Marshall JCM 800, EVH 5150 III, and Toneville Broadway amps. The Kemper helps get a consistent tone each night regardless of venue size or conditions

> "Irons uses a Kemper Profiling Amplifier live, and all of his profiles are Fender Bassman sounds. Irons is used to playing Marshalls, so he’s currently trying a real-amp approach with only boost, clean, and dirty profiles. 'The Kempers can do so much more than that, but I’m still adapting to using them, so I’m going for a basic thing right now.'" -Tessa Jeffers; Rig Rundown by [Premier Guitar](http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/23529-rig-rundown-awolnations-zach-irons) on Zach Irons When looking at his pedalboard [here](http://www.premierguitar.com/ext/resources/images/content/2015-12/RRs/AWOLNATION/pedalboard-ENL.jpg?14508998780), he uses a footswitch to switch between amp settings (left of the volume pedal).
