Rig Settings 71
The PROFILER is designed so that every PROFILE, distortion or compression will produce approximately the same
loudness, thereby avoiding any extreme volume drops or peaks when you browse through the Rigs. All the factory
Rigs come with Rig Volume set to the center position, which is the unity or default volume.
If you feel that clean Rigs sound softer or louder than distorted Rigs, please don’t try to fix it by adjusting the volume
of the individual Rigs! Instead, you should readjust the Clean Sens parameter in the Input Section to match your
guitar to the PROFILER.
Use this parameter to adjust the level of each Rig to suit a song in a set list, we don’t recommend using it to balance
the levels between all the Rigs.
If you feel that any of the Rigs sound particularly loud or soft, check to see if there is an active effect causing the
problem. Check the individual volume settings of the active effects, in case they are boosting or attenuating the
sound.
If you can’t pin it on an effect, then it might be the PROFILE itself differing from unity gain. In this case, adjust the
“Volume” parameter, found in the amplifier module, until the Rig sounds at the correct level. Be sure to store the Rig
afterwards, if you want the volume change to be permanent for that specific Rig.
✓ None of the volume controls mentioned here will color the sound. If you feel that a sound is colored by a volume
control, be aware that the human ear tends to perceive a simple loudness change as a change in color.
✓ This is the same as the parameter assigned to the RIG VOLUME knob on the front panels of PROFILER Head,
PowerHead, Rack, and PowerRack. In case you want to morph Rig Volume, and don’t own a PROFILER Head or
PowerHead, you might find it more convenient to adjust the Base Sound and Morph Sound values using the display
on this page.
