Cabinets
The cabinets available on the Cabinets page simulate real-life combo boxes or
speakers. For each amp, a corresponding cabinet type is available. However, you can
combine amps and cabinets at will.
Using Cabinets
• To switch cabinets on the Cabinets page, click the model that you want to use.
Select “No Cabinet” if you only want to use the amps and effects.
• If you select “Link Amplifier & Cabinet Choice”, the plug-in automatically selects
the cabinet corresponding to the selected amp model.
Microphone Position
On the Microphone Position page, you can choose between 7 positions to place the
microphone. These positions result from two different angles (center and edge) and
three different distances from the speaker, as well as an additional center position at
an even greater distance from the speaker.
You can choose between two microphone types: a large-diaphragm condenser
microphone and a dynamic microphone. Crossfading between the characteristics of
the two microphones is also possible.
Placing the Microphone
• To select a microphone position, click the corresponding ball in the graphic.
The selected position is marked in red.
• To select one of the microphone types or blend between the two types, turn the
Mix control between the two microphones.
Master
Use the Master page to fine-tune the sound.
Input/Output Level Meters
The input and output level meters on the left and the right of the Master section show
the signal level of your audio. The rectangle on the input meter indicates the optimum
incoming level range. In compact view, the input and output levels are indicated by
two LEDs at the top left and right.
Using the Master Controls
• To activate/deactivate the Equalizer, click the pedal-like On/Off button.
When the Equalizer is active, the LED next to the button is lit.
• To activate/deactivate an equalizer band, click the corresponding Gain knob.
When a band is active, the LED to the left of the Gain knob is lit.
• To tune your guitar strings, click the pedal-like On/Off button to activate the Tuner
and play a string.
When the correct pitch is displayed and the row of LEDs below the digital display
is green, the string is tuned correctly. The more red LEDs on the left/right are lit,
the lower/higher the pitch.
• To mute the output signal of the plug-in, click the pedal-like Master button.
When the LED is off, the output is muted. Use this to tune your guitar in silence, for
example.
• To change the volume of the output signal, use the Level control in the Master
section.
