Without doubt, the delay effect types are some of the most advanced and comprehensive effects collections in the PROFILER. However, the approach we have taken might be a bit different from what you've seen before. You will not find a dedicated reverse delay, tape delay or ducking delay, as we realized there is no sense in splitting such crucial features into separate delay types. Instead, we have equipped every single delay type with most of these features. Why not have a dual reverse delay? Or a serial delay with analog tape character? Or a melody delay with ducking? All of these are possible with the delays in the PROFILER.

The pitch shifter delays are powerful combinations of the delay types with one of four different pitch shifter types.
Crystal Delay: The Crystal Delay is a reverse delay in which the pitched notes are altered by playing back the delayed signal faster or slower. The crystal is placed in the feedback loop of the delay, creating a pitch helix with every repetition.
Chromatic Delays: The chromatic pitch shifter is positioned at the delay input and can be played polyphonically (chords).
Harmonic Delays: The harmonic pitch shifter is positioned at the delay input and is intended to be fed with single notes only. The pitch is set in musical intervals and will follow the selected key.
Loop Pitch Delay: This pitch shifter also works chromatically but is positioned in the feedback loop of the delay, resulting in a pitch helix or spiral with every repetition.

The reverb offers studio-quality algorithms and works closely with the delay effect.
Brought over from the ACCESS VIRUS synthesizer, our delay and reverb provide an outstanding sound quality. They are also very unique in that they perform a full spillover when you change to a new sound. This means that both the delay and reverb will decay as per the previous sound and unchanged settings, while you play a new rig with all new settings.

We have faithfully modeled the most prominent vintage distortion pedals. In addition, we have created a number of novel booster and tone-shaping effects that could not be realized in the analog domain:

The boosters feature several dedicated filter settings to perfectly shape your guitar for your individual amp distortion tone.

These are distortion effects, with a unique character, that probably never existed in the analog realm. They are especially destructive when playing double-stops or chords.

One of the most advanced pitch shifter algorithms in the industry. It shifts single notes as well as complex chords with unsurpassed quality. The Pedal Vinyl Stop effect drives the pitch of your guitar continuously down to zero and silence via an expression pedal. The PROFILER introduces a new technique to the guitar world, called "Formant Shift" - this maintains the natural sound of pitched notes, even at large pitch intervals.

The chorus effects span from the faithful recreation of the bucket-brigade chorus sound of the 70's to the crystal clear 80's multi-chorus, and the characteristic micro pitch effect, based on our pitch shifter algorithm. The Rotary Speaker effect, in combination with a PROFILE of a real rotary speaker, is indistinguishable from the original.

The tremolo effect ensemble features three vintage tremolos, as well as two modern slicer effects, and two stereo auto-panners, derived from the slicers. They all feature the same nifty Rate and Tempo controls, that allow syncing of the tremolo to the song tempo, retriggering the timing via the TAP switch without glitching, and changing/morphing the tremolo rate between different note values (e.g. from straight 8th notes to triplets) without glitching or loss of timing.

While the Flanger is based on a warm-sounding emulation of a bucket-brigade circuit, the Phaser allows very complex modulations by using up to twelve phaser stages. The distance between the peaks and notches of the Phaser can be controlled by the unique "Spread" parameter.
The modulation rate of the Phaser and Flanger can be linked to the song tempo.

The wah effects are a collection of different filter and lo-fi effects, have in common that they are automatically linked to your wah expression pedal without further hassle. Control the various colors with your pedal or alternatively by the dynamics of your guitar using the Touch Wah function. Each wah effect features an optional auto-off function that triggers as soon as you stop moving the wah pedal. You will find a number of preset wah effects that simulate your favorite wah pedals:

The compressor features the full compression bandwidth of well-known compressor pedals, but without further coloring the signal. Our unique "Squash" parameter controls the sponginess of the compression.
The noise gates are not an alternative to the main noise gate, but a complement, especially for expertly shaped metal palm-mutes.

A set of parametric equalizers as well as a graphic EQ helps to shape your signature sound. As with most effects, they can be placed before or after the amplifier.

To connect external gear, the PROFILER offers a hardware effects loop on the rear side of the amp. You can apply the hardware effect loop in any of the effect modules A-DLY.
