Cabinet Description
Vintage British 4 x 12 This late 1960s closed-back cabinet is synonymous
with classic rock. The tone is big and thick yet
also bright and lively, due to the complex phase
cancelations between the four 30-watt speakers.
Modern British 4 x 12 A closed-back 4 x 12" cabinet that is brighter and has
a better low end than the Vintage British 4 x 12, with
less midrange emphasis.
Brown 4 x 12 A closed-back 4 x 12" cabinet with a good low end
and complex midrange.
British Blues 2 x 12 A bright-sounding open-back cabinet with solid lows
and crisp highs, even at high gain settings.
Modern American 4 x 12 A closed-back 4 x 12" cabinet with a full sound. The
lows and mids are denser than the British 4 x 12"
cabinets.
Studio 1 x 12 A compact-sounding open-back cabinet with full
mids and glassy highs.
British 2 x 12 A mid 1960s open-back cabinet with an open, smooth
tone.
British 1 x 12 A small open-back cabinet with crisp highs and low/
mid transparency.
Boutique British 2 x 12 A 2 x 12" cabinet based on the British 2 x 12. It has a
richer midrange and is more powerful in the treble
range.
Sunshine 4 x 12 A 4 x 12" closed-back cabinet with a thick, rich
midrange.
Sunshine 1 x 12 A single 12" open-back combo amp cabinet with
a lively sound that has bright, sweet highs, and
transparent mids.
Stadium 4 x 12 A tight, bright, closed-back British cabinet with bold
upper/mid peaks.
Stadium 2 x 12 A nicely balanced modern British open-back cabinet.
Tonally, it is a compromise between the warmth of the
Blackface 4 x 10 and the brilliance of the British 2 x 12.
Boutique Retro 2 x 12 A 2 x 12" cabinet based on the British 2 x 12. It has
a rich, open midrange and is more powerful in the
treble range.
High Octane 4 x 12 A modern, closed-back European cabinet with strong
lows and highs and scooped mids appropriate for
metal and heavy rock.
Turbo 4 x 12 A modern, closed-back European cabinet with strong
lows, very strong highs, and deeply scooped mids
appropriate for metal and heavy rock.
Pawnshop 1 x 8 A single 8" speaker cabinet that has a strong low-end
punch.
Direct This option bypasses the speaker emulation section.
Tip: A creative sound design option is to choose Direct from the Cabinet pop-up menu, insert
Space Designer in the next free Insert slot, then load one of Space Designer’s “warped” speaker
impulse responses.
