Apologies if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything about it. Does it matter whether I'm using old or new strings during the profiling process? I'm just thinking it might affect the refining stage, but I'm not sure. Was planning on making my first profiles this afternoon and I'm a cheapskate 
Old vs. new strings during profiling?

Welcome!
Profiling doesn't require a guitar at all.
As for refining I'd say the differences are negligible.

There is one thing to keep in mind when profiling:
If you adjust the amp's tone controls to sound the best with very old strings, the profile may sound harsh or too bright with new strings.
