Many amp simulations give you some captured impulses of a selection
of cabinets and microphones, then they leave it up to you to EQ and
further process these incomplete setups by mixing dierent micro-
phone setups, adjusting phase and EQ, and so on. But this really is not
an easy job; it takes years of experience to get it right.
Now all you have to do is select the Recording Chain that sounds best
for your amp channel and setting, adjust the Tone Stack and Gain and
you’re good to go.Recallable, reliable, exible and fast.
And if for any reason you should not like any of the Recording Chains
the Plugin oers, you may use the very last setting (labeled CABINET
BYPASS) and use your own mic’d cabinet or external IR software. This
setting willalsogive you the sound of a tube amp wired straight into
a console, which also may be a nice eects sound.

If you are trying to nd the best sounding REC CHAIN for your song it
can be a hassle to have to play a few chords, grab the mouse to select
the next REC CHAIN, play a few notes again, grabbing the mouse
again, etc.

select a pattern (1 Bar, 2 Bars or 4 Bars) and the plug-in will activate
the available REC CHAINS automation, following the actual tempo
setting of your DAW. You can now play uninterrupted and simply
listen to the sound of the various REC CHAINS as the plug-in switches
through all of them every single bar, every two bars or every four
bars, depending on your setting.
As soon as you hear the speaker setup you like best just stop AUTO
mode by clicking the AUTO button again and manually select the
