The Effects
72
B+ CAPACITANCE - This control allows you to alter the amount of filtering capacitance on the
power amp virtual power supply. Higher values will make the response stiffer and “faster”. Lower
values will give a looser feel. Use along with the
SAG control to fine-tune the response.
SPKR RES FREQ - This control allows you to alter the resonant frequency of the speaker cabinet.
STABILIZER - Under certain extreme settings of
DEPTH
and
DAMP
the simulation may go
unstable. This would happen in a real amplifier as well. The
STABILIZER
switch alters the “grid
capacitor” values to ensure stability.
LEVEL, BAL, BYP MODE -
These are the standard output mixer controls.
Cabinet Simulator
The Axe-Fx contains 20 cabinet simulations. These simulations recreate the tonal characteristics of
a variety of different speaker and cabinet configurations. More than just simple filters, the cabinet
simulator actually captures the subtle frequency response variations inherent in a real guitar
speaker.
The simulator is true stereo allowing different speaker/mic combinations for each channel. This
allows setting up a dual amp configuration easily. Simply run AMP1 with its balance control fully
left and AMP2 with its balance control fully right. Sum their outputs into a cabinet block and set
the left cabinet and mic types for AMP1 and the right cabinet and mic types for AMP2.
The cab simulator can operate in three different modes: Mono HiRes, Mono LoRes and Stereo. In
Mono HiRes the processing is monophonic and the resolution of the simulation is at the maximum.
In Mono LoRes the processing is monophonic and the resolution is half that of HiRes. This mode
can be used to reduce processing load. In Stereo mode the processing is full stereo and the resolution
is half that of the HiRes mode.
Parameters
MODE - Selects the resolution and stereo/mono mode (see above).
TYPE L/R - Selects the cabinet simulation. The following simulations are available:
• 1x6 Oval - 6x9 oval (like in an automobile) speaker used in some early amplifiers. Match this
up with a Plexi model and crank out some Zep.
