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.
BASICS
Head or Rack? Both versions
are available with the same,
powerful features
MULTI EFFECT PARADISE
Eight freely assignable eect modules let you choose from a supreme selection of traditional drive pedals, wahs and EQs. There are world-class pitch shifters, along with more
experimental eects such as frequency shifters and exotic wave-form shapers.
The eects also include studio-grade reverbs, delays and modulation algorithms. Many of
those have a built-in “ducking“ parameter and can be MIDI controlled. Optional, external
hardware eects loop in at pretty much any point within 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 600 W, 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 a little over
1 kg (2 lbs) in weight.

Performances. And if all this wasn’t enough, Profiler Remote™ also features a

PROFILING

Amplifier Profiling™ is a new and unique way to
extract the sound and feel of a tube amp and store
it for later use. Profiling™ doesn‘t just create a static
snapshot - it can give you deeper control of your
sound than your original amp can provide. The
Profile™ will respond to your playing in exactly the
same way, with dynamics and all other details captured perfectly.
THE INPUT STAGE

A state-of-the-art Hi-Z input, optimized for passive
guitar pickups, can be calibrated for your guitar
ensuring a crystal-clear signal path.
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.
THE AMP CONTROLS
6
This is where you can tweak the Gain, Bass,
Middle, Treble and Presence. However, in
contrast to many vintage amps, the gain
control won’t color the sound – meaning you’ll
hit that sweet spot way more easily.
SIGNAL ROUTING
7
Super-flexible routing options enable you to
perfectly integrate Profiler™ with your existing
musical setup. Re-amping can be mastered
with ease, as can many other complex signal
flows. Monitor, recording and dry signals can all
be generated simultaneously.

MADE TO QUAKE
INTRODUCING THE ONE-STOP SOLUTION FOR BASSISTS
The dedicated direct output, and ultra-flexible splitting
options for typical “DI+Mic” routings, make Profiler™ the
perfect choice for bass players.
Features, such as parallel signal path to mix the dry and
processed signals, allow you to fine-tune your tone right
out of the box. There is a super-flexible, 4-band parametric studio equalizer. The “Analog Octaver” is optimized
for bass, as is our fast and precise Pitch Shifter.
Last but not least, the optional built-in 600 W power
amp providesmore than enough steam to battle even the
most vicious double-kick drum kit being pummelled right
next to you.
For those who just like to start playing, a stunning international collection of studio-grade bass amps has been
included.

PERFECT ON STAGE –
ANY MONITORING,
ANY TIME
THE PROFILER™ GIVES YOU ALL THE
MONITORING OPTIONS YOU’LL EVER
NEED, ANY TIME, AND ALL AT ONCE
For personal monitoring with independent
volume control, use the optional built-in
600 W power amp to drive a guitar cabinet
of your choice, while the studio-grade sound
of your Profiles™ is sent directly to FOH.
The Profiler™ never lets your tone down – especially when switching Rigs or Performances on stage. Seamless FX spillover (reverb
and delays) and smooth, gapless Rig transitions make it unique in the world of digital
guitar amplifiers.
And there’s no need to prepare your presets or eects to take advantage of these
capabilities – the Profiler™ does it all automatically.
Prof iler players say: “In the studio, the Prof iler sounds
exactly like the prof ed amp – live, it sounds even better!”

DIRECT PROFILING™
Every detail counts. That’s why a Profile™
can consist of two fingerprints: the first
covering every detail of your amp, and the
second focused solely on the cabinet. The
result is a truly authentic separation of the
two most important ingredients of any rig.
