Kab and Imprint question.

  • Hey all. Are the imprints located in the same spot in the signal chain as the cab block in the stack? I want to use the FX loop return as a guitar synth input in the X block, then run it all through the Kabinet.

  • Welcome to the forum. Do you want the guitar synth sound to be processed by a guitar speaker Imprint in an FX Loop, or do you want it to hear it Full-Range in the Kabinet and in FOH?


    If you want it to be Full-Range, see the Auxiliary Input section of the Owners Manual.

    Thanks for the reply Paul.. I want the synth to be AFTER the cab emulation. When synth is engaged, it will mute the traditional guitar chain.

  • Auxiliary Input


    The Auxiliary Input function allows you to feed a stereo signal, such as an mp3-player, into your PROFILER to play along with it. In the Output Section, the Auxiliary Input function is equipped with three mix controls: one to feed the aux signal to the MAIN OUTPUT as well as S/PDIF OUTPUT, and two others to feed it to the MONITOR OUTPUT and HEADPHONE output. This allows you, for instance, to add an additional monitor signal to your HEADPHONE output, while the MAIN OUTPUT stays unaffected.


    This hint is for all PROFILER variants other than Stage: With the activation of “Monitor Stereo” MONITOR OUTPUT and DIRECT OUTPUT get paired as one logical stereo monitor output. The Aux In signal will also appear on both and its mix gets controlled via “Aux In >Monitor”. The auxiliary signal will not be affected by any internal effects.


    You will need to purchase a special cable which provides the stereo signal via two separate TS jacks. Plug the left jack into the RETURN (RETURN 1 of PROFILER Stage) and the right jack into the ALTERNATIVE INPUT (RETURN 2 of PROFILER Stage). Use the "Aux In >…" soft knobs to adjust the level.

    The PROFILER Stage allows you to use Aux In along with one mono or stereo effect loop.

    For all other PROFILER variants, the Auxiliary Input cannot be used while you have an Effect Loop active in your Rig, or while you are in PROFILER Mode, as the physical inputs are needed for a different purpose.

    ✓ To prevent unwanted hum and noise, please remember to turn down the Auxiliary Input Mix when you are not using it.

    The Aux In function can also be used to feed in a band monitor mix from a mixing desk, mix it locally with your guitar signal and, monitor the sum for example via in-ear monitors connected to the HEADPHONE output.


    If you intend to just feed a mono signal in, activate “Aux >Mono”. The signal will now be merged into both sides of all stereo outputs.
