Does guitar position matter when profiling?

When playing in front of a fairly loud amp, there's a certain amount of the amp going back into the pickup. I've often wondered if this is one of the areas where modelers have fallen a bit short.



So, when you're profiling an amp, does it make a difference if your guitar's pickups are facing the cab or not?



thanks,

Steve

Profiling itself doesn't involve a guitar, only the refining does.
Good question anyway, I would assume no because that is an effect of the beheaviour of the pups, not of the amp

Question: does the pickups (humbuckers vs singlecoils - high, medium, low output) - or even the position of the pickup (neck, middle bridge) matter, when profiling an amp?
Does it make a difference or will there be a different response or feel in the amp, depending on the pickups used?

During profiling the Guitar is muted, the test signal goes through the amp. During refining I don't know if it has an influence...good question for Cristoph Kemper, actually.

Yes, sorry - I meant during the refining process.
Ok, question for the man - CK!

I should have specified. Yes, I mean during the refining process. Another thing that seems like it would come into play during the refining process is the thickness or type of pick used. When strumming on chords, we all know that different thicknesses of picks give a slightly different sound/attack etc so I'm wondering if pick choice affects the profile outcome as well.



Anyone care to shed some light on this?



thanks,

Steve
