Native Instruments B4 II - Manual (Page 65)

B4 II – 65
Citrus: This setting simulates an on-axis condenser microphone on a guitar
cabinet and represents a well-balanced all-around tone.
Tweedman: An on-axis dynamic microphone picking up a 4 x 10 guitar box. It
is nice for a jazzy sound with pleasant bass tones. Think Jimmy Smith.
Jazz: If you are looking for that dirty Jimmy McGriff sound, this cabinet
can come close. It simulates a 2 x 12 speaker setup with a condenser
microphone.
Twang: This can sound soft and warm. A nice cabinet for ballad work, sporting
an on-axis condenser microphone and a model of a well-known 2 x 12 guitar
rig.
AC Box: A British sounding guitar setup using both a dynamic and a condenser
microphone. Farfisa and Continental tonewheels are welcome!
Plexi: Another British sound from the sixties. This is a 4 x 12 with an on-
axis dynamic microphone and an additional off- axis condenser. Can you say
“Heavy Rock”?
Lead 800: This setup is similar to the Plexi setting, only more on the modern
side. You will get increased presence with a more aggressive sound.
Bass-VT: This is a simulation of a famous bass guitar setup. It can sound very
beefy and sports a horn speaker for some extra presence.
Direct: With the direct setting the cabinet is replaced by a D.I. box. It simulates
plugging the rotator output directly into the mixing desk.
Microphone Settings
The output of the Rotator is “picked up” by pairs of virtual microphones
– models of physical microphones that can accurately reflect the real-world
output of the Rotator.
The
Rotator control balances the mix between the rotor signal and the Amp/
Cabinet output without rotor. Use this knob to determine how strong the rotor
sound is present in your signal.
