GAME CHANGER
THE BEST GUITAR AMPS IN THE WORLD ANY TONE YOU EVER WANT.
For decades, the electric guitarist has been shackled to the tube amplifier as the only
solution to get that sound. With the advent of the Profiler, everything has changed.
Now, for the first time, you are free to create amp tones as unique and individual as you,
and capture them easily and perfectly into the digital domain.
Our proprietary technology that captures the sound and feel of a tube amplifier is
called Profiling. The resulting Profiles go far beyond a list of static, digital amp
models instead, profiling creates a vivid, dynamic and multi-dimensional reproduction
of your existing tube amp.

MULTI EFFECT PARADISE

The four stomp slots let you choose from a supreme selection of traditional drive pedals,
wahs and EQs. There are world-class pitch shifters, along with more experimental effects
like frequency shifters and exotic waveshapers. There is even a Looper performance
effect for those who use our floorboard.
Post-amp, you can add up to four stereo effects, including reverbs, delays and modulation
effects. Many effects have a built-in Ducking parameter and settings can be remotely
controlled by MIDI. External stomps can be inserted at pretty much any point of the signal
chain.
OPTIONAL POWER AMP
The Profiler is available with a built-in power amp. The digital class-D powerhouse sounds
and feels like a tube amp. And, with 600w, you can always be on top of the hill, when needed.
Both the Head and Rack versions are available with the power amp option, adding around
1.2 kg (2 pounds) in weight.

HANDS FREE, FINALLY

WE ALL KNOW THAT NOTHING BEATS A FLOORBOARD PURPOSELY DESIGNED
TO WORK SEAMLESSLY WITH YOUR PROFILER.
Remote is the quintessential foot controller for your Profiler, featuring a large and bright
display, four pedal inputs, and super-easy double click assignment for stomps and effects.
Only a single cable is required, and all Performances and Rigs can be controlled without
further setup. As if this wasnt enough, it also enables a Looper on your Profiler.

OVERVIEW

1 STOMP EFFECTS

5 THE STACK
The Stack section consists of the amp,
equalizer and cabinet. You can mix and
match any amp with any cabinet. You can
even tweak a Profile beyond the boundaries
of a traditional, physical amp.

Four independent stomps, chosen from an

amazing arsenal of effects. These include
detailed models of famous overdrive and
distortion stomps, compressor, pitch shifter,
LoFi algorithms, and a beautiful rotary
speaker.

2 PORT TO THE WORLD

Share, organize, and backup your personal

collection, and connect to Rig Manager on
your computer. Preview and access thousands
of additional Rigs, free of charge.

6 MASTER FX
The reverb in here is lively, dense and will not
mask the original signal. The delay features
tape and stereo delay variations and can be
synced. Six knobs on the front panel give you
instant access to the most important parameters. This section can also hold an additional
stereo stomp box.

3 PROFILING
Amplifier profiling is a new and unique way to
extract the sound and feel of a tube amp and store
it away for later use. Profiling doesnt just create a
static snapshot; it can give you a deeper control of
your sound than your original amp can provide. The
response to your playing, dynamics and all other
details are captured by the profiling process.

4 THE INPUT STAGE
Thanks to a state of the art Hi-Z input, optimized
for passive guitar pickups, the signal path sounds
crystal clear and can be calibrated for your guitar.

Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Presence can be

adjusted here. However, in contrast to many
vintage amps, the gain control doesnt color
the sound. This way, you can tweak your tone
to perfection much faster.

BASS PROFILING

MADE TO QUAKE
INTRODUCING THE ONE-STOP SOLUTION FOR BASSISTS
The dedicated direct output, and super flexible splitting
options for typical DI+Mic routings, predestine Profiler
for Bass players.
Recent feature additions, such as a parallel signal path
to mix the dry and effected signal, allow you to fine-tune
your tone right out of the box. There is a super flexible,
four band, parametric studio equalizer. Both the Analog
Octaver stomp and the fast and precise Pitch Shifter are
optimized for bass.
Last but not least, the optional, built-in 600 Watt Power
Amp provides enough steam to battle the most vicious
double-kick-laden drum kit right next to you.
But the best news is: for those, who just like to start playing, an international collection of studio-grade bass amps
have been included.

PERFECT ON STAGE
MONITORING WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Cabdriver gives you the convenience of
using a guitar cab for personal monitoring
on stage or playing small clubs with a guitar
cab while feeding the full studio profile to
the crowd via PA.
Due to its generic nature, Cabdriver works
great with any guitar cab.
THE ALL NEW DIRECT PROFILING
This updated technology takes two separate fingerprints: in the first run it gets your
amp, and in the second, your cabinet. The
result is a truly authentic separation of the
two, most important ingredients of any rig.
Direct Amp Profiles consist of the pre-amp
and power-amp sections of the reference
amp, and have the distinct benefit of making a solid-state power-amp, such as the
Profiler, sound like a tube power-amp.
