I don't know what type of Korg tuner you have,but I would put it BEFORE any rack-mount unit that you have. (comments anyone?)

Hi Jimmie,
No such thing as a dumb question...(although there are a few jokesters on this forum that will poke good hearted fun at you) You are among friends here, so ask anything you like.
The Profex is an effects processor. You plug your guitar into it, select form a variety of internal effects (like reverb, distortion, chorus, delay/echo, and so on), take the output and plug it into your amp and play away.
It has a whole bunch of internal effects to choose from. It can be programed to run most effect in series or in parallel, and each effect has its own set of controls. These programs can then be saved into the memory and recalled later with the push of a button, or twist of a knob.
Just think of a floor full of separate effect pedals that you could rearrange, and change settings on, any time you wanted at the push of a button.
That's a crude description but it gives you some idea. Some players contend that the Profex II is the best steel guitar processor around. I will agree it is amazing and sounds terrific. |

| The other nice thing is the shared settings that steel players use. The Newman settings are shared by most and takes the work out of creating your own programs. |

Little did we know that a processor that was designed approximately 12 years ago would still be popular today. I recommend that you try the Dual Deltafex that is now manufactured by Peavey Electronics. It is similar in that custom presets can be created and stored, then recalled at your request. It even has 5 "usable" custom steel guitar presets already programmed for you. This product can be viewed here; www.peavey.com
