SPEAKER SIMULATOR Function
The SPEAKER SIMULATOR function is included in all presets and provides a realistic ap-
proximation of a miked speaker cabinet for applications involving connecting the UTOPIA G100
directly to a mixing board, recording system or other full range system.
NOTE: The parameters provided in this function are operational
only when the SPKR SIM parameter under the GLOBAL
FUNCTION is stored UNLOCK, LOCK L or LOCK B.
The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these SPEAKER SIMULATOR
parameters:
The SPEAKER SIMULATOR parameter allows you to select whether the
Speaker Simulator is on for BOTH outputs, on for only the LEFT output or
OFF.
The SPEAKER TYPE parameter determines the type of speaker to be
simulated. 15",12",10", 8" and full range speakers are available.
The MIC POSITION parameter simulates a microphone placed anywhere
from the center of the speaker cone out to the edge of the cone. Positive
parameter values simulate moving the microphone toward the center of the
speaker, while negative values move it to the edge.
The REACTANCE parameter simulates the characteristics of the interac-
tion between a tube amplifier and a guitar speaker cabinet. The higher the
parameter value selected, the more these characteristics will be apparent.
Negative values of reactance can be used to simulate an open-back cabi-
net.
