The 30 second stereo looper includes recording, playback and overdub features, with stop, playback cycle triggering, recording/playback/overdub direction reverse, recording/playback/overdub 1/2 speed and Undo/Redo.

The Profiler Remote also includes TRS jacks to connect up to 4 expression pedals and mono or stereo external switches, and it supports MIDI control (Program Change messages executed on the Profiler Remote can, for instance, be defined by MIDI Program Change commands that will be sent to MIDI gear simultaneously via the Profiler MIDI output).
