MAIN OUTPUT (1)
These are your main stereo outputs. Use these outputs to connect to a mixing desk in a recording studio, or to the
front-of-house mixer in a live situation. These outputs deliver the entire Rig: Amp, Cabinet, and all Effects. You have
a choice of XLR (balanced) or quarter-inch TS-jacks (unbalanced). The XLR outputs are protected against 48V
phantom power fed by a mixing desk. However, you should avoid feeding phantom power into the PROFILER if you
want the best audio quality. Like all inputs and outputs, it offers a ground lift to prevent a loop hum.
MONITOR OUTPUT (2)
Use this mono output to connect the PROFILER to a stage monitor with its own level controls. This output also has
its own ground lift.
You can also connect this output to a power amp and a regular guitar cabinet. In this case, you need to switch the
cabinet simulation off, using the soft button “Monitor Cab Off” in the Output Section, to prevent the unwanted
coloration that would result from running a speaker emulation through a guitar cabinet.
Bypassing the cabinet module can also be done by simply pressing the CABINET button. However, there are two
differences compared to enabling “Monitor Cab Off”:
• Bypassing cabinet is an individual setting to each Rig, unless you lock the cabinet module in its “off” state. Monitor
Cab. Off is a global setting.
• It will bypass the cabinet module for all outputs, whereas "Monitor Cab Off" will only affect the signal routed to the
MONITOR OUTPUT (and the built-in power amp of PowerHead and PowerRack).
✓ If you select the option “Monitor Stereo”, MONITOR OUTPUT and DIRECT OUTPUT become one logical pair of
stereo outputs. Functions like Monitor Output Source, Monitor Output Volume, Monitor Volume Pedal, Monitor
Output Link, Monitor Cab. Off, Monitor Output EQ, and Aux In > Monitor are applied to both outputs automatically.
