Please open a support ticket and send a Profiler backup.

The five Rig Buttons in the lower row can either load Rigs within the current Performance OR control the Looper. The Looper Button switches between these two modes. That is a natural limitation having a foot controller with a small foot print. We are not planning to introduce modes, where Effect Buttons become Rig Buttons and vice versa, because it would introduce functional conflicts and user confusion. The Effect Buttons are the Effect Buttons.

Either you organize your sound changes in a way, that you are switching effects on/off using the Effect Buttons. Or you use a Morph Pedal to travel between two sounds.

Or - as you just seem to require Looper Start and Stop buttons - you could reassign the Looper Button as Looper Start and the Tuner Button as Looper Stop. This way the Rig Buttons are always available to switch Rigs. And Tuner could still be activated via a Volume Pedal in heel position. Or you could even bring the TAP button into the game and use that as Looper Stop or Tuner button.

Or you connect another external dual momentary switch like the Profiler Switch 2-way and assign Looper Start and Stop to that one.

1) Does a volume pedal plugged into the remote, have a sonic influence on tone?

The Pedal sockets of the Profiler and the Remote don't carry any audio signal. So, there is no sonic influence in that sense, regardless what you connect. The changes of the resistance of a connected "something" are interpreted to trigger a digital controller within the Profiler, which depending on your functional assignment(s) determines the level of the calculated Pedal Volume, Wah, Pitch, or Morphing.

The disadvantage of analog volume pedals is, that the resistance curve of their pots is suboptimal to control a digital device like the Profiler. That is exactly the domain of expression pedals with pots optimized for this purpose..

What if you connect headphones to the Headphone Out? The Headphone Out has the same signal as Master Output with source set to "Master Stereo".

Have you tried the Main Output TS sockets?

Have you checked the XLR cables, could there be one cable with the hot wires twisted causing any phase issue?

Are you aware of and have you played with "Pure Cabinet"?

I prefer using a Dunlop DVP 3 for volume because of that long throw. The Mission Aero might also be appropriate, but I have no practical experience.

I have tested two Bluetooth dongles and am using these occasionally myself:

Yamaha MD-BT01
Quicco mi.1

Both work without any issues with the Profiler.

Headphones should work anyhow, regardless of any effects and what is locked. The only relevant parameters are Headphone Volume in the Output Section and perhaps Pedal Volume. If the Volume Pedal is in heel position normally all outputs are muted.

If your headphone is dead in case your guitar signal is just mono and you hear only the wet portion of stereo effects, this might be a contact or cabling issue of your headphones leading to a complete cancellation of the mono signal. In that case try other headphones.

Just to clarify:

The following parameters of the Input Section are stored in the Rig: Clean Sens, Distortion Sens, and Input Noise Gate. These become "global" if the Input Section gets locked.

Others are always global and not stored by Rig: Inputs Source, Reamp Sens. So, It's not possible to switch the Input Source by Rig.

Conceptually we try to avoid infecting Rigs with settings reflecting user specific environments and preferences which compromise the compatibility when exchanging Rigs amongst users. Imagine you preview a Rig via Rig Manager and settings like inputs, outputs, pedals, switches,... all don't match your setup and might cause, that it is completely dysfunctional in your environment at the beginning. We are considering to introduce a capability to select inputs by Slot in Performance Mode in a future OS revision. I think, that is where such a user preference belongs, not in a Rig.

Normally, this is straight forward. All data and settings incl. Performances are included in a backup. The only explanation for a mismatch could be, that one Profiler is running an OS revision before 4.x and the other OS revision is more recent. We are at 5.4.1! At that time we migrated the Performances from a file into a database structure. The migration took place at the first upgrade. The old Performance files are kept, while moving forward only the new Performances in the database get edited and maintained. So if you downgrade, you see and work with the old Performances in the backup. As soon as you upgrade again you see and work with the latest Performances in the database.

Individual Performances can also be copied into the local library of Rig Manager, exported from there, shared as files with extension ".kipf", imported into Rig Manager, copied into another Profiler....

"Master Stereo" is the default setting of Main Output Source.

Sometimes it might be most effective to press "Init Globals" in the System Settings. This will reset all global parameters just in case something is really screwed.

Two comments:

Value 0 for "off" and all other values for "on" is in line with MIDI standards and changing the rules in the middle of the game could cause lots of confusion and need for adjustments in the installed base. Rotary Speaker Speed is special as we applied a two state logic for something which is in deed a continuous parameter. Lesley speakers do the same. It is on our to-do-list to make this more flexible without differing from MIDI standards.

As a principle we try to keep Rigs universal for every user. This makes sharing so much easier e. g. Rig Exchange, Rig Packs, commercial Rig providers, previewing Rigs in Rig Manager.... . As soon as we infect Rigs with user preferences their compatibility gets compromised. Imagine you receive a Rig from somebody else and the first thing you need to do is analyzing how it responds to your pedals, MIDI switches, which input it might be using and so on. It might be completely useless for you until you have adjusted and applied your preferences.

Rig Name is not equal Slot Name. Be aware, what you are looking at.

Rig Name can be adjusted in the Rig Settings. Slot Name can be adjusted in Edit/Slot Settings.

Initially Slot Name follows Rig Name automatically. But as soon as you enter a Slot Name that differs from the Rig Name it will stop to follow Rig Name. This whole naming logic is described in detail in the Reference Manual

Just to clarify ... the Remote doesn't know what MIDI is. It is the Profiler which is able to send MIDI program changes whenever a Slot in Performance Mode gets loaded regardless how it gets loaded (manually, via Remote, or incoming MIDI). The Profiler can also forward all control changes associated with its pedal controllers: volume cc#1, pitch cc#4, Wah cc#7, morph cc#11.

We don't know and cannot provoke any conditions under which Locks get lost during a normal update regardless if updated via USB flash drive or Rig Manager. Even starting with another OS from USB flash drive doesn't clear Locks. I tried all possible options. There are obviously resets, that could and should have such an effect. Or if you restore another backup Locks are included.

We had some 4.x revisions, which cleared Locks and the so-called edit buffers during updates, but not any 5.x revision.

If you are able to reproduce any issue with current software please let us know!

The Profiler doesn't touch stored performances. If you reload Performance 1 it will reappear as stored.

After a restart the Profiler doesn't reload anything, but recovers the edit buffer as it had been before the shutdown. So if after a restart you want to be sure to have Performance 1 as stored load it again by for example moving to Performance 2 and then back to Performance 1.

from the Reference Manual:

Infinity

When you activate "Infinity",another Action & Hold function, Feedback will be switched from the regularvalue (between 0 and 100%) to the Infinity feedback value that spans from 100%to 200% and is separately controllable. This feedback lets the delay repeatsbuild up instead of decaying – this pushes them deeper into tape saturation,where they will repeat indefinitely, as the sound degrades over time. To ensurea pleasing, lush result, you should adjust the sound of the tape saturationwith the High Cut and Low Cut parameters. Set Mix Location to "Post"if you wish to control the signal level of the saturated delay by the Mixcontrol.
In contrast to the Hold function, InfinityFeedback still lets you add more signal to the delay, creating intermodulationwith the repeated signal.

Keep in mind, that locking for Browser Mode and Performance Mode are independent. This applies to Input Section, any Modules or Sections, Tempo, Volume Pedal,... Perhaps you locked Volume Pedal in Browser Mode and checked in Performance Mode or vice verse.

Thanks for your trust!

If your Profiler has run 2.5 before you could downgrade. Rigs stored under 3.0 and later might disappear temporarily. Could be that an old Performance state will reappear. But nothing gets lost, if you don't store anything under 2.5. As soon as you will upgrade again, all your current data and settings will reappear. If you want to be absolutely safe, just create a backup upfront, which you could restore at any time.

I can discuss internally about that additional parameter, but we try to avoid adding specific options for few users, while everybody needs to learn, what these options do.

We are not planning to built in expression pedals into the Remote, because expectations regarding these pedals are very different. I personally prefer a Mission EP-1 (without toe switch) for Wah, because it feels like a Cry Baby, and a Dunlop DVP3 for Volume control, because of its wider mechanical range. So, depending on what people want to control with their expression pedals they might prefer different hardware. So, building in a pedal which isn't ideal for anybody makes little sense.

Another thing worth noting is that this update clears the lock-flag on the volume-pedal. I got bitten by this as a number of my patches suddenly had way too much gain with full volume. I normally play with the volume-pedal locked to the output in the rig-section while many rigs has it assigned to input by default. This setting is not something I change frequently so my brain took a while to make the connection.

Volume Pedal Locking, Location and Range are maintained during upgrades and downgrades. I was quite sure, but I also checked it out before making this statement.
