Ever been frustrated trying to re-created the tone you captured on a recording when you play out live? You’ll love the Profiler Rack, because it can profile your studio sound while you’re recording. Just take a split of the mic you’re recording with and use the split signal to connect to the Profiler Rack. You’ll capture the sound of your studio performance, ready to be recalled on any stage in the world at a moment’s notice.
