ABOUT VIRTUAL-POWER-AMP-VOICINGS

WHAT ARE VIRTUAL-AMP-VOICINGS?

Virtual-Amp-Voicings are re-configurations based on the output recording of the actual speaker

loaded Tube-Amp. That said, Virtual-Amp-Voicings are not the result of simple EQ shapings. They are

combinations of the `natural` EQ shaping in the frequency spectrum.

Additionally to the actual Tube-Amp voicing (`T`-voicing) this Cab-Pack consists of/contains an

Idealized-FLAT-Amp (`I`-voicing) and four more virtual Amp voicings. The differences between these

six Amp voicings (H, I, K, P, S, T) are visualized and described below:

I: Idealized-FLAT-Amp & T: Tube-Amp

I: Idealized-FLAT-Amp voicing. No coloration, 100% flat. Also/Popularly known as `MIC + DI` method.

Technically it's the recommended variant for signal paths including an actual or modeled Tube-

Power-Amp in the signal chain.

T: The actual Tube-Power-Amp variant. Some may know them as `MIC only` method, when capturing

cabinet impulse responses with an Tube-Power-Amp. Recommended as a `starting point`, if no actual

or modeled Tube-Power-Amp is in the signal chain. Some prefer `T`-influenced coloration in the IR

anyway for extra scoop and `thump`.

H: Virtual Half Tube Amp voicing

H: Virtual Half Tube-Power-Amp voicing: In-between `I` & `T `. Reduced `T`-coloration, but not as

colorless as the Idealized-FLAT-Amp (`I`).

K: Virtual Konvex Amp voicing

K: Virtual Konvex Amp voicing: `I`-shaped low-end, combined with the inversion of the scooped mid-

/high-end bandwidth of the actual Tube-Power-Amp.

P: Virtual Push Amp voicing

P: Virtual Push Amp voicing: Represents a combination of the `T`-low-end and `I`-mid/high-end. If

`thump` is missing in the `I`-variant, `P` could be the preferred choice.

S: Virtual Scoop Amp voicing

S: Virtual Scoop Amp: Vice versa from `P`: low-end is `I `, mid/high-end is a `T´-adoption. Tube-

Power-Amp `scoop`, but without overwhelming low-end response.
