Powercab Speaker Models
To properly take advantage of these speaker models, disable cabinet emulation blocks within your modeler or "amp-in-a-box" type pedal, and let the
Powercab take over to provide the accurate speaker sound and feel. An added benet is that these models provide a variety of speaker tones that
can still be captured through a microphone at any placement, thanks to the coaxial speaker system design�
Powercab 112 includes the rst six speaker models in the list below, as well as HF OFF / Natural, and cannot be updated by an end-user to
add or change speaker models�
