Cab Channel Strip

The Cab Channel strip allows you to craft and control your virtual cabinet tone.

Cab Selection

Select your virtual cabinet using the Cabinet Selection panel. Choose from 23

distinct speaker cabinets or select DI (Direct Injection) for the direct power amp

output.

NOTE:

For use with 3rd party IR (Impulse Response) loaders, select the DI option.

The DI is taken from after the power amp emulation.

Mic Selection

Mic up your virtual cabinet with a choice of 6 industry standard microphones.

Toggle the axis of your microphone choice for a different tonal flavour. In general,

OFF AXIS will darken your tone and shift the mid-range character.

Microphone

Character

57 - Dynamic

Bright and cutting, with controlled lows. A classic

microphone choice for recording guitar cabinets. Use

this microphone off-axis for a less sharp, mid-focussed

tone.

421 - Dynamic

Aggressive and tight. Use this microphone for an up-

front sound or off-axis for a more mellow sound.

67 - Condenser

Balanced with extended top end. Off-axis this

microphone gives a similar tone to a ribbon, but with a

controlled low end.

414 - Condenser

Rich and bold. The extended top and bottom end

of this microphone gives your tone a larger-than-life

sound.

121 - Ribbon

Thick and warm. A great choice for a vintage sound.

Try off axis for a super smooth sound.

160 - Ribbon

Punchy mids with smooth highs. Use this microphone

for a more controlled ribbon sound or off-axis for a

richer tone.
