Guitar Amp Pro microphone parameters
After choosing a speaker cabinet from the Speaker menu, you can set the type of microphone
you want to be emulated, and where the microphone is placed in relation to the speaker. The
Microphone Position parameters are available in the yellow area to the left, and the Microphone
Type parameters in the yellow area to the right.
Microphone position parameters
•
Centered button: Places the microphone in the center of the speaker cone, also called on-axis.
This placement produces a fuller, more powerful sound, suitable for blues or jazz guitar tones.
•
O-Center button: Places the microphone on the edge of the speaker, also referred to as o-
axis. This placement produces a tone that is brighter and sharper, but also thinner—suitable
for cutting rock or R & B guitar parts.
When you select either button, the graphic speaker display reects your choice.
Microphone type parameters
•
Condenser button: Emulates the sound of a studio condenser microphone. The sound of
condenser microphones is ne, transparent, and well-balanced.
•
Dynamic button: Emulates the sound of a dynamic cardioid microphone. This microphone type
sounds brighter and more cutting than the Condenser model. At the same time, the lower-
mid frequency range is less pronounced, making this model more suitable for miking rock
guitar tones.
Tip: Combining both microphone types can sound quite interesting. Duplicate the guitar
track, and insert Guitar Amp Pro as an insert eect on both tracks. Select dierent microphone
types in each Guitar Amp Pro instance, while retaining identical settings for all other
parameters, and mix the track signal levels. You can also choose to vary any other parameters.
