Parallel Path

This feature was designed for bass players, but you are free to use it with any other instrument. The PROFILER
offers a wide variety of PROFILEs for bass players, as well as numerous effects and distortions that can be used in
combination with a bass. Distortion or overdrive introduced by amps or pedals can result in the bass guitar losing
some of its fundamental frequencies, as well as some dynamic range. To compensate for this, a parallel feed of the
undistorted bass signal is usually mixed to the distorted, or otherwise processed, signal.
The normal signal flow looks like this:
Standard signal flow
The Rig Settings provide a parallel signal path, which feeds directly to the Output Section, bypassing both the stack
section and the effect modules X, MOD, DLY, and REV. When "Parallel Path" is activated, module A and B become
exclusive to the parallel path, allowing you to add compression and EQ, for example. modules C and D remain within
the regular signal path, along with the Stack and subsequent effect modules. This routing is visualized by the signal
chain on the home screen.
