The final master volume controller specifies the volume of the final stage. As with the guitar
amp, the end tubes are also engaged in this case as much as remains sensible.
Cabinet simulation
For simulation of speakers and cabinets, VANDAL calculates the individual components in
place of impulse responses of microphoned cabinets. Faithful to the "Custom
amplification" philosophy, this permits complete freedom.
The selection list features multiple speakers, housing types, and microphones. Two
separate microphones are included with a modeled recording space. Analogously to a real
situation, you may position a virtual microphone stand in a space to achieve interesting
mixing ratios and stereo effects.
It's up to your creativity whether you would like model the cabinets on realistic role models
(e.g. 12" vintage speakers in a 4 x 12 housing) or place a 10-inch design in a 15-inch box.
You may also specify how strongly the speakers may/should or how penetrating the
housing portion affects the overall sound. The dampening characteristics of the
loudspeaker cabinet may also be adjusted.
In terms of microphones, the parameters room size and dampening may be set via the
simulated recording space. Model a silent chamber or put the sound "on stage".
These settings may all be altered stepless and in real time, automated, and controlled via
MIDI.
Vandal - Quick start with amp and cabinet simulation
To enable a quick, fun start with a concentration on the important features, i.e. playing your
guitar, our team of experienced testers and musicians has put together amplifiers and
speakers as templates. These templates may be changed at any time, or you may create
your own, if a particular combination of amp and box is especially appealing.
Simply select from the template list as required or flip through the templates with the
keyboard. The library is expanded as you go.
Rack effects (FX1/FX2)
There are effects that don't always work well before the amp, e.g. reverb or delay,
especially when they are distorted. Normally, these effects are better placed at the end of
the signal chain.
