→Profile Process
# Refine the resulting profile - the first thing I do after making a profile is choosing refine and playing some large chords and low palm mutes. This gets the frequency response closer to the original often.
# Make some small tweaks - it's best to compare the created profile vs. the reference rig right now before anything changes to affect the tone of the real rig.
# Store the rig - press Store and go through the saving dialogs to create a new rig based on the profile. This guides you through the rig, amp, and cab tags. I prefer to skip this part at this time, or use quick, small abbreviated text that you can fill in later. Don't get bogged down spinning the soft knobs - you can type it out with a keyboard later. See [[#Tagging|Tagging]]. For names, I like to go ahead and type out a somewhat meaningful name, just in case I can't edit it immediately. See [[#Naming|Naming]]. Technically, that's all that needs to be done; but I like to take it a little further:* Tweak the rig more - before storing the rig, you cannot access the full Amplifier and Cabinet profile settings. After storing, you may want to make further tweaks here. While the new rig should sound virtually identical to the real rig, you may find some slight tweaks can help improve things that sounded poor in the original rig, such as reducing mic phasing (using Pure Cab), fattening up the tone (by lowering Definition), or altering the low and high resonances of the cab (low and high shift in the Cab profile). You could also improve the sound of the distortion tone with pre-EQ or a boost pedal. Or some precise post-EQ to really get a nice, full sound.* Revisit tags and rig name in Rig Manager, quickly typing in the correct tags for all possible parameters.
