tion in the Cabinet page.
DB-33 Cabinet Page Controls
To access the Cabinet page, click the Cabinet
button. The Cabinet page provides the controls
pertaining to the rotating speaker cabinet and
the organ’s tube preamp. These controls deter-
mine the overall tone of the instrument.
Input
The Input section contains the level controls for
the external input (using the preamp and rotat-
ing speaker simulation as an effect for other sig-
nals in Pro Tools) and the organ’s signal.
Increasing either of these inputs to very high
levels drives the tube pre-amp harder, some-
times leading to pleasant (or not-so-pleasant)
distortion.
External
Sets the volume of incoming signal
when DB-33 is used as an insert effect.
Organ
Sets the volume of the tone generator sig-
nal before it enters the pre-amp. If you’re hear-
ing unwanted distortion, try turning this con-
trol down.The control is set to MIDI CC 11, an
expression pedal, to emulate the volume pedal
used for expressive purposes on many classic or-
gans.
Tube Pre-Amp
The Tube Pre-amp section offers control over
the preamplifier that precedes the rotating
speaker cabinet.
Character
Effects the tonal balance of the signal.
Turned to the left, the lows are cut, and high and
midrange harmonics are emphasized. Turned to
the right, lows are boosted and highs are cut.
Drive
Sets the amount of gain in the pre-amp,
ranging from clean to distorted.
High Cut
Sets the amount of treble roll-off. Used
in conjunction with the Character control (set to
a low value), it creates a mid-heavy but not tre-
ble-boosted tone.
