8. Dual Cabinet Impulse Response, Power
Amp Simulation and Ambience
The built-inDual Cab Sim Impulse Response Loaderis KMA’s own simple, yet exible and
unassumingly powerful convolution cabinet simulation solution, designed to suit a multitude of
musical circumstances. For this, we developed a new technology we call “Dynamic Responsive
Onset AI Convolution” orDROAC™ for short.
Many other devices on the market today can potentially lead you down the path of option
paralysis, so we decided to just keep ENDGAME intuitive and immediate. Our aim is to help you
focus on creating rather than constantly adjusting, as in our experience once you’ve found your
ideal cabinet tones, it’s generally preferable to stick with these favourites.However, unlike a
number of alternatives out there, if you do want to experiment, we added an OFF mode. This
means you can still use your existing favourite of the plethora of great simulation devices that are
available, while still experiencing the unique and super useful ENDGAME features – the choice is
yours!
The 3 main onboard presets are based on KMA’s own choices and are based on popular,
standard examples that will t a majority of situations. These Genuine Dynamic Impulse
Responses are powered by industry leading speaker brand Celestion®, for the most authentic
tone possible and curated specically for their own “Magnicent 7 Collection”. Each included
Impulse Response is a custom blend by Celestion®, created with the help of multi-platinum
Engineer/Producer Mike Spink at Decoy Studios, a world class live room which is the
professional home of award-winning mixing engineer Cenzo Townshend. All of the included
Impulse Responses are a mix between 3 industry standard microphones (Royer R-121,
Sennheiser MD421 and Shure SM57), optimised to either high or low gain settings.
Positions UA and UB are completely user denable. There are a multitude of third-party Impulse
Responses out there which can be loaded into ENDGAME’s internal storage simply using a USB-
C cable connected to your host device (see section 7.2)
Why “Dual”? Well as the ENDGAME is a stereo device, what goes into the Left side of the Cab
Simulation stays in the Left output (and vice versa relating to the Right side). However, what if
you desire a totally different speaker cab to the other on one side of your stereo signal? Well, we
thought of that, as you can easily do this via the custom loader simply by placing different
Impulse Responses in each corresponding folder. From the factory, we’ve pre-loaded these slots
with examples/combinations of our various cabinet choices on each side, but loading your own
Impulse Response cabinets in these user slots is a breeze!
In addition, the separately selectable Tube Power Amp Simulator and Ambience features add
another sense of realism to polish up your tone.
