Metal Equalizer

This can be thought of as the little brother of the Studio Equalizer. It's a 3-band, half-parametric EQ, inspired by the
equalizer of the Boss® Metal-Zone* stomp (you can find a model of this among the stomp distortions).
The Metal Equalizer is perfect for creating the mid-scoop that characterizes the typical metal sound, but since it is
also a regular equalizer, it is also suitable for many other sounds and genres.

Stereo Widener

Not an equalizer in the traditional sense, but it does use equalization to work its magic. By emphasizing certain
frequencies on one stereo channel, while attenuating them on the other, it creates a subtle stereo effect. This is done
symmetrically, so that when the signal is summed to mono, the effect is completely canceled out with no coloration
to the sound.
Use "Intensity" to control the impact to the sound. At higher values of "Intensity" you can actually drive the sound out
of phase; this is not a problem, however, as the sound still stays mono compatible.
With "Tune", you can tweak the effect to your taste by shifting the focus towards lower or higher frequencies.

Effect Loops (Pink)

To connect external gear, the PROFILER offers a hardware effects loop, represented by the Direct Out/Send and the
RETURN on the back side of the amp. These are the same jacks that you use for PROFILING. You can apply the
