Amp-A Type
Menu
Determines the amp type for the “A” section of the Amp. Selecting an Amp
Type reconfigures the amplifier characteristics and the function of the other
Amp parameters.
Amp-B Type
Menu
Determines the amp type for the “B” section of the Amp. Selecting an Amp
Type reconfigures the amplifier characteristics and the function of the other
Amp parameters.
Amp Morph
Slider
The Morph control is used to smoothly transform one amp type into another,
creating new sounds never before possible. Morph accomplishes this task by
interpolating between amplifier component values of the A and B Amp types
as the slider is moved. Morph is NOT a blend or crossfade control.
Morph allows you to continuously shift between two completely different amp
sounds in realtime with full automation. And because the Color and Bent
knobs also control multiple parameters simultaneously (which is essentially a
morph), amazing new dynamically shifting timbres can be realized.
Cabinet Module
The Cabinet module reproduces the sonic character of a guitar speaker and
its enclosure as captured by a microphone. The Cabinet receives its input sig-
nal from the Preflex Amp output. The Cabinet output is the final Preflex signal
output.
The Preflex Cabinets are emulations of actual guitar speaker enclosures that
were captured by a Shure SM57 microphone then meticulously analyzed (as
usual) by our team of rocket scientists. A wide variety of cabinets are in-
cluded, using several speaker types, configurations, and microphone place-
ment techniques.
Cabinet Type
Menu
Each cabinet type has a unique sound and frequency response characteristic.
Select the desired speaker from the Cabinet Type pull-down menu. Abbrevia-
tions used in the Cabinet Types list for the speaker, enclosure, and mic tech-
niques are detailed in Table 20. The Cabinet Types list itself is in Table 21.
