    If your external pedal returns a mix of wet and dry into the PROFILER, the PROFILER isn't able to split those signals. The Output Source DLY/REV Wet only applies to internal delay and reverb effects in the modules DLY and REV.


    From the Main Manual:


    DLY/REV wet

    Only the wet stereo effect signal of the delay and reverb located in the modules DLY and REV are sent to the output. If no delay or reverb is active, the output will remain silent.

    only available for stereo outputs

    We have just published OS 7.1.21 Release, which includes the following fixes:


    User Interface


    fixed: wrong position/edit buffer after Performance move

    fixed: edit buffers and locking not correctly maintained during backup/restore

    fixed: View Last Imported not immediately updated after import

    fixed: pot behavior for reversed unidirectional parameters

    fixed: SEND 1 output not correctly initiated after powercycle (Stage)

    fixed: HARDFAULT when moving Performance Slot #2 to Slot #1 via "Move Up" function in Rig Manager


    Rig Manager 3.0.100 is required for OS 7.1.19 and upwards!

    There are separate downloads for Stage and classic PROFILER models available!

    No, there is generally no quality difference. We just added the capability to create Direct PROFILEs and merge these with Studio PROFILEs into Merged PROFILEs with OS 3.0. These are a bit more authentic, if you monitor via a physical guitar cabinet and deactivate the cabinet simulation for that purpose (Monitor Cab. Off). For applications which include the cabinet simulation (monitoring via full-range, PA, studio monitors, headphones, in-ears) it makes no difference.

    Morphing is dedicated to continuous parameters and Pitch of Transpose is no continuous parameter.


    If you want to Morph the pitch continuously, you can use the Pedal Pitch effect and activate MorphPedal to Pitch.


    As mentioned before you can switch the Transpose effect on/off using a button or even toggle between two Transpose effects in two different modules.

    No, you can't exclude the direct guitar signal from HEADPHONE OUTPUT. Most people including me prefer to receive a monitor mix without guitar signal, to avoid latency from the mixing desk and to control their personal volume balance (monitor signal versus guitar) locally. So either you can use an external headphone amplifier or get used to hear your guitar in the center.

    From the Main Manual chapter MIDI:


    #48

    In Performance Mode: Value 1 steps one Performance up and starts scrolling after a while. Value 0 stops scrolling, or steps only one Performance up.

    In Browser Mode value 0 steps one Rig up, value 1 steps five Rigs up, value 2 steps to first Rig of next higher bank of five.

    #49

    In Performance Mode: Value 1 steps one Performance up and starts scrolling after a while. Value 0 stops scrolling, or steps only one Performance up.

    In Browser Mode value 0 steps one Rig up, value 1 steps five Rigs up, value 2 steps to last Rig of next lower bank of five.

    We are at OS 7.1.19 release in the meantime and both zip-files - for classical models as well as Stage - are in tact and have been downloaded and installed many times. Please follow the instructions included in the download zip-files.

    I suggest, not to completely ignore the following hints in the manual. Electrical resistance of the connection is critical to ensure sufficient powering of the Remote - under all conditions. And obviously additional patch cables and rack panel sockets add resistance.


    Cabling

    The PROFILER and PROFILER Remote communicate with each other via an ethernet cable. The cable included in the PROFILER Remote package with its Neutrik® etherCON® cable connector carrier has been carefully selected and is perfectly suited for this purpose. If you decide to use any 3rd party cable, please make sure it meets our quality standards.

    The diameter of the wire is the critical factor. The cable delivered with the Remote meets American Wire Gauge 24 (AWG), which can support up to 7.5m (22ft) length. AWG 26 cables have a smaller diameter and can only support up to 5m (15ft). Cables with higher AWG e. g. AWG 28 should not be used with the Remote.

    Cables in excess of 10m (30ft) might require a Power over Ethernet Injector (PoE Injector).

    I'm leaking an explanation related to the Wattage Meter which will be included in the next manual generation:

    Wattage Meter

    The internal power amp is mono, and delivers 600 watts at 8 ohms however, the wattage will be lowered to 300 watts when used at 16 ohms. At 4 ohms, the wattage is electronically limited to 600 watts. If these 600 watts are exceeded, the power amp is deactivated for a moment, which will result in a short dropout. It would require insane volumes for such dropouts to occur however, if you are connecting a 4-ohm cabinet, you should test it carefully to ensure that your loudest signals stay below that critical level.

    The power amplifier provides sufficient headroom to avoid clipping, even with dynamic clean sounds. Very loud signals and transients will then be compressed by a soft-clipping circuit with a nice, organic sound.

    If you are afraid of damaging your speakers with the built-in 600W power amp, then use the Wattage Meter to monitor exactly how much power is being delivered.

    A speaker doesnt get damaged by too much peak level, but by accumulating too much heat over time. Think of a traditional light bulb: When you switch it on, it takes a moment to reach full brightness. When you switch it off, it will dim slowly even though the current is cut immediately. Due to this time lag, it takes one or two seconds of overpowering a light bulb before it breaks. The same applies to the coils of your speakers.

    The Wattage Meter takes account of this time lag and simulates the accumulated heat in your voice coil measured in watts. It is a unique tool that allows you to get a feel for the kind of volume you should expect for a given number of watts. You might be surprised just how loud a few watts can be!

    A few rules of thumb:

    The maximum wattage of the power amp is not a measure of permanent load on your speaker coils. It depends on how loud you play. A 600 hp car will not use more horsepower than a 100 hp car while you cruise through town more likely, it will be about 15 hp.

    Bass frequencies will put much more load on your speakers than high frequencies. Palm mutes create lots of bass.

    Cabinets with an open back will acoustically reduce the bass frequencies this means wattage which the power amp delivers, and the speakers still have to process, but you cannot hear it and therefore wont realize.

    The scale of the Wattage Meter is calibrated to 4 ohms. If your cabinet has an impedance of 8 ohms, you need to halve the displayed values. If your cabinet has an impedance of 16 ohms, you need to divide the displayed values by 4.

    If you combine multiple speakers, the wattage is split. For example, if you have four speakers each rated as 50 watts, they can handle 200 watts in total.

    If you are running at high volumes and notice any indications of speaker distress, turn down (Monitor Output) Volume or Power Amp Boost.
