Profret Guitar Solutions

Babe. Wake up! New rigs just dropped! 😍

Over the past 4 weeks we have been slowly building, planning and programming a flyable, redundant, compact but efficient & capable guitar rig system for Drew & Hoss of Karnivool.

We teamed up with our good friends at & to supply us with some goodies to make this happen. We’re now using the Quad Cortex Mini for guitars - this makes a lot of sense for us to use these as we don’t need the foot print of the original Quad Cortex as everything is going to be midi controlled via playback.
So having just a “brain” for the guitar processing makes things very easy to fly with.

A long with that is the heart of the system, the Fretronics RSW auto switcher. This single RU unit takes all of our inputs & outputs as well as MIDI & sums them together to FOH & to our QC minis and THEN also detects a failure event & can automatically switch to our B rig simultaneously without any interference or dropouts.

I have also cleared up a lot of the cabling to make the runs onto stage easier. Our guitar signal is now being passed via a SGI & then sent to the rack via audio over cat to the rack off stage. It also carries our expression signal & future proofed for a vocal line or acoustic DI if we want & a spare line for anything we want to add onto the board later on.

Within that loom is the power for the board coming out of the racks via Truecon. So a very easy setup for me on stage, just power and signal.

I would like to say a HUGEEEE thanks to the band for trusting me and completely overhauling upgrading everything for them right now it before a massive tour.
With our first show already done in Copenhagen. I’m very happy with everything. Guitars a sounding as big as ever!

Another massive thank you to the legends at and to for helping us so quickly and promptly getting the unit’s sent to Australia.

Thank you Ollie from for hooking us up with the RSW switchers and a huge thank you to my friend for lending me a hand building it all get having it ready in time.

Very cool ‘78 Travis Bean TB1000S in the shop!
