you need to store the rig and not the delay settings to recall a delay setting with a rig

service center repairs normally take a week plus 4-5 days for shipping back and forth-if all goes well you should have it back within 2 weeks then.

Another long time Thomann customer myself and never had a bad purchase experience. I dare you to find a better one actually.

each of your eventides is like twice the price of the Profiler.

There should be just one Kaos.bin file on the usb stick

9/32 is a quarter note and a 32nd note-that should throw any guitarplayer out of the curve so to speak!

I agree with what Ingolf said.
But to answer your question-technically it should be no problem. The Profiler does not care about the source that is being send from the DAW to the SPDIF input. You could even reamp a vocal track if you wanted to.

What makes you think that the unit will be send to germany for repair?
There are two certified service centers in the states. One in LA and one in Dallas.

How are you monitoring? Do you also feel the same latency when listening through a headphone directly connected to the Profiler?

Genelec 8250 APM-not exactly cheap but worth every penny!

which firmware version are you using?
Update to the latest one and perform a System reset by powering up the unit while holding down the System button.
If that doesnt fix the problem open up a support ticket.

1000 is the upper limit of rigs that a profiler can manage effeciently.
If you have 1500 in your rack you should consider weeding them out until you get below that limitiation.

This is a known bug that should be fixed in a future firmwareversion

NEVER switch off the cab button in the stack section!!!!
It is not only needed for making the Main Outs sound good but will also provide crucial information that makes the Cab driver function sound good which is engaged when you activate the Monitor Cab off function in the Outputmenu.
The combi of Cab on in the stack section and Monitor Cab off in the output section will ensure that you have a proper guitar sound on the Main outs and the Monitor/Speaker out so you can use a cabinet on stage and send a speakersimulated signal to the front of house at the same time.

Hell-G is right about the need to set the Sync on your soundcard to SPDIF. No need to change anything in the Profiler because it is always set to be the Master. But the artifacts in your recording do not sound like a sync problem to me. Dropouts due to unsynced digital audio sound more like supershort spikes and not like the noise tail that i can hear on some of your notes.
It would be great if you could post the rig that shows these symptoms

mission impossible-you cannot expect a total replica by dialing in the same numbers even if the Profiler had exactly the same parameters that the Lexicon offers. Every reverb algorithm is unique and sounds different.

Quote from DukeOURL

Well, I believe that I verified that it only occurs on the spdif connection. When it occurred today, I solo'd the analogs and they were clean' solo'd the digi's and bad distortion. I reset the KP by turning it off, then on and the digi's were fine. So there is a failure in the spdif's.. now is it in the inputs or outputs?? dunno just yet.

The problem is that I cannot "make" the fault occur; I have to wait for it t just happen. so with that, I can't isolate the "why" as what's happening to make it occur. I know that today, I was messing with the spdif volume, turning it up to zero db and then backing off; back and forth. I was trying to determine if the spdif was introducing a slight distortion/digital edge to the guitar sound that was dofferent fro the analogs... (I couldn't determine a difference in sound) This was brought on because I think I'm hearing the "stack" side of the spdif being reamp'd instead of the "guitar" clean side. This makes for increased distortion and a change in sound from the original... of course... this is what I think that I am hearing and am trying to figure out why...

That sounds like your DAW or soundcard is changing the left channel of the SPDIF to the right and vice versa. Do you have any other SPDIF equipment that you could use to verify this? Are you using some sort of converter to change the coaxial SPDIF to an optical format?

the easiest way to deal with this issue is to use the SPDIF only for transferring the signal into the computer and back and use the analog output for monitoring while you play. That way you will not hear the clean signal at all.

Nightlight-Actually this is not entirely accurate.
In order to make the boot&burn process work the Kaos.bin file should be in the root directory of the USB stick and NOT inside any folder

Try another USB stick.
