Effect Section
The Effect section of Guitar Amp Pro contains the Tremolo and Vibrato effects—
essentials in any guitar rig, and the Reverb.
Note: The Effect section is placed before the Master control in the signal flow, and
therefore receives the preamplified signal (pre-Master).
In order to configure the Effect section, you must activate it via the On/Off buttons,
found to the lower left of the FX and Reverb panels. When the respective effect section
is active, the border of the On/Off button is highlighted.
In the upper middle portion of the FX section, you’ll find the Effect menu, which allows
you to select between the Tremolo and Vibrato effects. Tremolo modulates the
amplitude (and therefore the volume), while Vibrato modulates the frequency (and
therefore the pitch) of the signal. The intensity of the modulation is determined by the
Depth parameter. Speed controls the modulation speed in Hz. Lower settings will
produce a smooth and floating sound, with higher settings leading to a rotor-like
effect. You can perfectly synchronize the modulation speed to the song tempo, if
desired. To do so, simply press the Sync button, found beside the Speed control. Once
synchronization mode is activated, the control range of the Speed control will display
various musical values. Set the Speed control to the desired value, and your Guitar Amp
Pro modulation will be perfectly synchronized to the song tempo.
The Reverb portion of the Effect section contains two controls. Level determines the
amount of reverb signal applied to the pre-amplified signal. The pull-down menu to
the right allows you to select one of three different Spring reverb models.
Output
The Output knob serves as a final level control for Guitar Amp’s output.
The Output parameter can be viewed as a volume control “behind the cabinet”, and is
used to set the level that is fed into ensuing plug-in slots on the channel, or into the
channel output.
Note: This parameter is very distinct from the Master control, which serves a dual
purpose—for sound design, as well as controlling the level of the Amp section.
