Taking a profile
Once the reference amp is setup just the way you like it, it's time to start profiling Don't worry, once you
read through this guide and tried it for yourself, we are sure you'll agree that profiling is a very simple and
straightforward process.
Start by choosing a rig in Browse mode. It's a good idea to choose a profile that is somewhat related in
character to the reference amp. This will give you the chance to compare the existing rig with that of the
setup you are about to profile, thereby ensuring that you get a result that is even better suited to your
needs.
✔ ✔
Switch off any effects loop in the rig you have chosen, to prevent your reference amp from sitting in the
effects loop of its own profile. Effects loops are indicated by the LED color white.
Using other built-in PROFILER effects in the reference rig while you are profiling is not a problem. Those
effects you have engaged will still be audible when you switch to your reference amp, so you can config-
ure the PROFILER's stomp boxes and other effects in the Profiling amp to suit your reference amp tone,
even before taking the profile. When you have taken the profile and stored it as a part of a new rig, all the
stomps and effects that were part of the original rig will be stored also.
✔ ✔
If you prefer a pure sound with no effects, you can either switch any stomps and effects off prior to profil-
ing, or choose a rig with no active stomps and effects.
Next, turn the chicken-head to the PROFILER position. At this point, you will still hear the previously se-
lected rig. Use the soft buttons to switch between the reference amp and the PROFILER/profile.
Levels
♦
Set the Return Level (Soft Knob 4) so that the level of the reference amp roughly equals the level of the
internal sound of the PROFILER. You can check level differences by switching back and forth between the
current rig and your reference amp. If the Output LED turns red when you play your reference amplifier,
the level is too hot. You might notice audio clicks when you turn the Return Level; this is the analog Return
Input stage switching the level in the analog domain, to ensure the best signal-to-noise ratio. This feature
allows you to capture any signal level, from the softest microphone to the hottest studio level output.
