Though I've always had a great love of vintage gear & classic tube amps, I've found it not only necessary, but also very useful and rewarding to embrace today's modern technology. When I discovered the Kemper Profiling Amplifier I knew immediately that it would find a permanent place in my guitar gear arsenal. Having incorporated some form of digital modeling technology into my own rigs for over 10 years now, I was thrilled when I found that with some practice, I could "clone" my collection of amps & pedals and have them accessible in one unit that weighs less than 12 pounds!

Tone HAWK Profiles Volume 1. is the first in a series of TH profiles for the Kemper Profiling Amplifier. It represents a collection of inspiring and diverse tones. From clean to dirty, to fuzz, our goal was to capture big, full bodied, organic tones that respond, feel and sound like the signal chains that they were profiled from.

We focus on crafting musical combinations of amps, cabinets, pedals & microphones in the belief that each is a critical component to delivering artful and inspiring tone.
