Rack Amp

The Rack Amp is designed to reproduce the sound of plugging into a guitar amplier. Great attention to detail has been taken in modeling the 16 cabinet types to

emulate many classic guitar and bass amps. Feeding any Guitar or Bass DI signal into the eect gives great creative scope to control tone. The eect also works on

stereo sources like keyboards and can be used to add some extra grit to the sound.

Item Control Function

1 Input Meter 14 Stereo LEDs showing input metering.

2 Cabinet Type Button Choose from the 16 dierent cabinet types.

3 Preamp Control Controls the amount of input gain prior to distortion.

4 Buzz Control Changes the low-end breakup.

5 Punch Control Adjusts the midrange distortion.

6 Crunch Control Modies the high-frequency content and distortion for smooth or cutting notes.

7 Drive Control The Drive control simulates the amount of power amp distortion from a tube amp.

8 Level Control The overall output is controlled by the Level knob.

9 Low EQ Control Low EQ is a shelf that cuts or boosts below 200 Hz kHz by ± 12 dB.

10 High EQ Control High EQ is a shelf that cuts or boosts above around 1 kHz by ± 12 dB.

11 Output Meter 14 Stereo LEDs showing output metering.

12 Power Switch Bypasses the eect.
