62 TUNABLE SPEAKER
Tunable Speaker offers an EQ controllable speaker sound that is brighter than SPEAKER
CABINET. By tuning three parametric filters, you can simulate many different speaker cabinet
sounds that are used in all styles of music. The FX-1 and FX-2 parameters can be routed into the
effect with different Dry/Wet mixes.
MID-1 FC Range: 0000 to 9999 Hz
This parameter sets the center of the mid-frequency parametric. Higher values have a brighter
sound.
Q Range: 01 to 18
This parameter is a bandwidth control that determines the width of the resonant peak at the
center of the-frequency band. By raising the value, you can produce a narrower bandwidth.
LEVEL Range: -48 to +24 dB
This parameter sets the amount of cut (negative values) or boost (positive values) applied to this
mid-frequency parametric.
MID-2 FC MID-3 FC
Q Q
LEVEL LEVEL
These parameters are similar to the previous ones, but can be assigned to control different
bandwidths within the mid-range.
INPUT LEVEL Range: -24 to +00 dB
Lets you to adjust the input level before the EQs to eliminate the possibility of clipping boosted
signals.
OUTPUT LEVEL Range: -48 to +24 dB
Since speaker cabinets are “lossy,” output gain is required to compensate for losses in perceived
volume. Setting this gain too high will cause clipping of the output signal.
63 GUITAR AMP 1
64 GUITAR AMP 2
These algorithms recreate the warm sound of a guitar tube amplifier. They do this by emulating
tube distortion characteristics. These algorithms are good for all stringed instrument sounds.
GUITAR AMP 1, designed for Hard Rock, offers more distortion than GUITAR AMP 2, which is
optimized for “bluesy” type sounds. The EFFECT MIX FX-1 and FX-2 parameters can be routed
into the effect with different Dry/Wet mixes.
PREAMP GAIN Range: -48 to +48 dB
This parameter adjusts the amount of boost or cut applied to the incoming signal. We
recommend a setting of +0 dB, since these emulations were optimized for distortion there. Lower
preamp gains will result in less distortion, while higher preamp gains will yield clipping
distortion. For low preamp gain, it may be desirable to use low tube bias values.
MAIN LEVEL Range: 00 to 99
Controls the output level of the main amp before the output EQ.
TUBE BIAS Range: 00 to 99
For preamp gains approximately 00 dB, this parameter controls the emphasis of even to odd
harmonics which determines the tone of the amp; mid values emphasize even harmonics and
offer a warmer (“glowing tube”) sound, while the highest values may sound like tubes going
