The Included Effect Plug-ins
Distortion Plug-ins
• To process the pre-effects, the amplifier, and the cabinets in full stereo mode, make
sure that the plug-in is inserted on a stereo track, and activate the Stereo button.
View Settings
Two different views for the VST Amp Rack plug-in panel are available: the default view
and a compact view, which takes up less screen space.
In the default view, you can use the top buttons to open the corresponding page in the
Display section above the amp controls. You can horizontally resize the plug-in panel
by clicking and dragging the edges or corners.
In the compact view the page display is hidden from view. You can still change the
amp settings and switch amps or cabinets using the mouse wheel.
Using the Smart Controls
Smart controls become visible on the plug-in frame when the mouse pointer is
positioned on the plug-in panel.
Switching between Default and Compact View
• To toggle between the different views, click the down/up arrow button
(Show/Hide Extended Display) at the top center of the plug-in frame.
Changing the Amplifier and Cabinet Selection in the Compact View
In the compact view, a smart control on the lower border of the plug-in frame allows
you to select different amplifier and cabinet models.
• To select a different amplifier or cabinet, click the name and select a different
model from the pop-up menu.
• To lock the amplifier and cabinet combination, activate the “Link/Unlink Amplifier &
Cabinet Choice” button.
If you now select another amp model, the cabinet selection follows. However, if
you select a different cabinet model, the lock is deactivated.
Previewing Effect Settings
In both views, you can show a preview of the pre- and post-effects that you selected
on the corresponding pages:
• Click and hold the “Show Pre-Effects” or “Show Post-Effects” button at the
bottom left or right of the plug-in frame.
