Speakers / cabinets
A module from this category is usually placed after any amp module.
Module name = Convolution speaker simulation
Description = This module uses real-time convolution to mimic actual speaker and cabinet setups.
Convolution can be very CPU-intensive so there are 2 optimization options, “Resample” and “Hi-Res.” Forcing
downsampling of the signal reduces the CPU utilization to an amazing 25%, while still retaining virtually the
same tonal quality. (This is possible because Guitar speakers generally do not have a frequency range of more
than 5-6 kHz.) The available speakers and cabi nets were sampled with several microphones placed at varying
angles. One sampling (an “Impulse Response”) is a xed moment in time and cannot be adjusted. The Load
button allows you to import your own Impulse Responses in .wav format.
Module name = Speaker Construction Set (SCS)
Description = Select from any of the predened speaker models and put them in a cabinet with a physical size
of your choice. This simulated speaker cabinet is then miked by any of the 20 micro phone congurations. (This
technique is considerably less CPU-intensive than the RIR convolu tion module.) Remember, ReValver™MKIII.V
is capable of building virtual speaker cabinets that really cannot exist in the physical world, and depending on
which components and settings you change, you could end up with some very “unique” sounds.
