The resulting profile
Once you are happy with the result of the profiling, you can store the sound in the PROFILER as a new rig.
We highly recommend that you save the profile before you start modifying its parameters to preserve the
original settings.
Congratulations! You have added a new amp and a new cabinet to your PROFILER's arsenal. You are now
free to combine each of them with other amps or cabinets in the PROFILER to create new hybrid stacks.
You will notice that the GAIN knob is automatically set to the same (audible) position as the reference amp
and the amp volume is the same as the other amp volumes to make it easy to compare different amps. The
actual gain range of the PROFILER is probably much larger than your original amp. This means that you
can play the new profile from ultra clean to super distorted, even if you couldn't do so on the reference
amp itself.
In those situations where the reference amp was clean, the GAIN knob will be set to the minimum position,
while retaining all of the original volume. Of course, you'll have no trouble turning up the GAIN knob to dis-
tort this sound if you want to! Inside the PROFILER, the "Preamp Definition" parameter has been set to the
center position, and can be modified at any time.
When it comes to crunch or high-gain sounds, the "Preamp Definition" value is automatically set to a posi-
tion that matches the reference amp. You can thus identify the virtual age of the reference amp and even
modify it on-the-fly.
When you create a new profile, "Power sagging" is set to zero by default. By increasing the amount of
power sagging, you can increase the dynamic range of your profile. This can be especially useful if you
have profiled a reference amp that had a distorted sound with a limited dynamic range.
✔ ✔
Tip: If you set "Power sagging" to the two O'clock position, and set "Preamp Definition" a little higher than
its original setting, you can make the profile of a great reference amplifier sound even better, and more dy-
namic, than the original!
The sound of the reference amp's equalizer circuitry becomes an intrinsic part of the profile, but the actual
settings of the equalizer knobs are not replicated. We assume that the sound of the reference amp is ex-
actly the tone that you want to achieve, hence the equalizer in the PROFILER is set to a neutral state, leav-
ing you free to tweak the sound to your taste.
