Profiler Model 5 Compact Stereo Guitar Amplifier with DSP
Introduction
Congratulations!
You are now the proud owner of the Crate Profiler Model 5 compact five-watt
stereo guitar amplifier with advanced digital signal processing (DSP) and 11 classic amp pro-
files. This portable amplifier has guitar strap pegs on each side for hands-free transport, and
a battery compartment for operating when AC power isn’t available.
This rugged amplifier combines outstanding features with serious clean and distorted sounds.
Digital Reverb, Delay, and Effects provide you with a wide variety of stereo sounds. Crate’s
unique Profile Tracking feature automatically stores your DSP settings for each profile to
memory. As you switch from one profile to another, the last DSP settings for the selected pro-
file are instantly recalled. A rear panel 1/8" stereo audio input jack allows you to play along
with your CD player, MP3 player, or iPod. There is also a headphone output for private listen-
ing, and a jack for connecting the supplied AC adapter whenever AC power is available.
The Profiler Model 5 also includes a CD with Tracktion, Mackie’s powerful audio and MIDI
sequencing software for digital recording on a PC or Mac. Simply connect the USB port on
the Profiler Model 5 to your computer and record your music into Tracktion (or any other DAW
software application).
Like all Crate products, your Profiler Model 5 amplifier is designed by musicians and built
using only the best components. Extensive testing confirms that this amplifier is the absolute
best it can be. In order to get the most out of your new amplifier, we strongly urge you to
read this manual before you begin playing.
And thank you for choosing Crate.
