PROFILING an Amp 287
Connections PROFILING with DI; on PROFILER Stage connect to SEND 1 and RETURN 1
Why do I need my guitar cabinet when I want to capture a PROFILE without a cabinet?
It's true, the sound of the speaker will not be captured in this case, but the complex impedance behavior of the
speaker is still needed to create those oft-mentioned interactions between the power tube amp and the connected
guitar cabinet. The DI box will ensure that there are real-life interactions for the PROFILING process to capture.
Later, when the PROFILE is played back through the built-in Class D power amp, or an external solid-state power
amp, it will recreate the same impedance situation to that of the connected guitar cabinet. This is the key to making
