Chapter 1 Amp Modeling 25
When you select either button, the graphic speaker display reflects the current setting.
Microphone Type Parameters
 Condenser button: When selected, emulates the sound of a studio condenser
microphone. The sound of condenser microphones is fine, transparent, and well
balanced.
 Dynamic button: When selected, emulates the sound of a dynamic cardioid
microphone. This microphone type sounds brighter and more cutting, compared to
the Condenser model. At the same time, the lower Mids are less pronounced, making
this model more suitable for miking rock guitar tones.
Note: In practice, combining both microphone types can sound very interesting.
Duplicate the guitar track, and insert Guitar Amp Pro as an insert effect on both
tracks. Select different microphones in both Guitar Amp Pro instances, while
retaining identical settings for all other parameters, and mix the track signal levels.
You can, of course, choose to vary any other parameters, as desired.
Output
Below the Effects section is the Output slider, which serves as the final level control for
Guitar Amp Pro output. The Output parameter can be thought of as a “behind the
cabinet” volume control, and is used to set the level that is fed into the following plug-
in slots on the channel or into the channel output.
Note: This parameter is distinct from the Master control, which serves a dual purpose—
for sound design, as well as controlling the level of the Amp section.
