Master
The final master volume controller sets the volume at the final
stage. Similar to the guitar amp, the end tubes are also engaged
in this case as much as remains sensible.
Through the interaction of gain, drive & master, countless saturations and
distortion textures may be modeled as needed.
Cabinet simulation
As was mentioned at the start, we went our own way in simulating the
speakers and cabinets. In place of impulse responses from microphoned
cabinets, we've calculated the individual components of this sort system:
 Loud speakers
 Housing
 Recording space
 Microphone
True to our "custom amplification" philosophy, this process provides total
freedom and a certain measure of personal dynamics, which is the final
deciding factor at the end concerning whether the system feels "lively".
VANDAL also takes subtle effects into account, such as the reaction of the
speaker's housing, the effect of this on the end stage that is applied, and so
on.
Speaker selection
The speaker selection list allows you to choose from a selection of speakers of
various sizes and sound characteristics. These are organized according to
guitar and bass types:
