VIRTUAL GUITARIST
“ELECTRIC EDITION”

The doubling feature is not a DSP effect like the stereo width feature
because Virtual Guitarist literally plays back two different tracks. This
means that Virtual Guitarist’s doubling sounds exactly the same as the
conventional, but more cumbersome, doubling method.
❐ Be careful not to overuse stereo width and doubling. It might be tempting to
let each guitar track sound rich and fat, but it can lead to a bad final mix.
Sound adjustments
You can adjust the basic sound character of the guitar with the pick-
up selector and presence controls.
Mic Position
With this 4-way switch you can vary position and angle of the micro-
phone in front of the amp speaker, resulting in a subtle phase-related
change of the sound character. Position A is the normal recording
position. Moving the slider towards position B virtually moves the
microphone away from the speaker and also changes its angle.
Presence
A presence dial is found on most guitar amps, and its function is to
emphasize or dampen the upper-mid frequencies of the sound spec-
trum. Turning it upwards from the neutral mid position increases the
bite, while turning down produces a warmer guitar sound by damping
presence.
