PROFILING an Amp 289
The recommended refining procedure, which comes after the automated part of the process, is a bit of a shot-in-the-
dark, as you will continue to hear your reference amp through the physical guitar cabinet only. Still, it's a good idea
to go through with it by playing chords on your guitar, as explained in the chapter “Refining the PROFILE”.
When the PROFILING is done, it's time to listen to the result!
• Turn down “Monitor Volume” for the power amp of the PROFILER.
• Put your reference tube amp into standby mode, as it should not run without a speaker connected.
• Unplug the speaker cable (the one going to the speaker) and plug it into the SPEAKER OUTPUT of the PROFILER
PowerHead or PowerRack.
• Play, and turn up “Monitor Volume” carefully.
• Done! When played through your guitar speaker, the PROFILER and your tube amp will sound identical.
• Save your Direct Amp PROFILE.
How to Create Merged PROFILEs
If you are planning to take both a Direct Amp PROFILE and a Studio PROFILE of the same tube amplifier, for
merging them later, we recommend the following sequence:
✓ If you like, do the setup and cabling for both PROFILEs. Position the microphones by the guitar cabinet as required.
However, you will not be able to take both PROFILEs in one go, since the PROFILER only supports one return
signal for PROFILING.
Make all required adjustments to the amp while listening to it right in front of the guitar cabinet. Don't worry about the
mic'ed sound at this stage, as the direct sound cannot be adjusted by anything other than the amplifier controls.
• Capture the Direct Amp PROFILE first, as described above, and save it.
