You can connect your external tuner to the Direct Output. If you set its source to "Git Analog" it's not affected by the Profiler's Tuner Mute.
Very easy to check this out by the way.
Burkhard beat me to it; I was just reading all the responses to make sure nobody else had said what I wanted to say.
The thing is, the DI out, if "Git Analog" is selected, is a straight pass-through from the guitar input. If "Git Studio" is selected, it's converted to digital and passed on at line level to the direct out.
William, your KPA must've been set to "Git Studio".
It works!
Which is no surprise to you guys, but brilliant just the same!
thanks for the help
