CABINET effect block
The shape of the cabinet and the type and number of speakers
are very important elements in determining the tonal character
of a guitar amp.
The CABINET effect block provides models that faithfully
simulate the cabinet and speaker characteristics of a variety of
guitar amps, from vintage to modern.
Although these models are especially effective when you are
plugged in to a mixer etc. via a direct line connection, they are
also effective when you are using a guitar amp.
Knob 1 AIR
This simulates the resonance of the
cabinet, and the comb filtering effect
produced by interference between the
speakers.
Decreasing this value will produce a
sound that is more suitable for connection
to a guitar amp. Increasing this value will
produce a sound that is more suitable for
direct-line connection.
Knob 2 LEVEL
Adjusts output level.
Knob 3 PRESENCE Adjusts tone of the high-frequency range.
If the sound distorts, slightly lower the LEVEL and
PRESENCE.
