VST Amp

This effect emulates the sound of an amplifier with speakers. There are different amplifiers and speaker models you can combine.

Amp Model

Specifies the amplifier type. The sound character of the overdrive changes with the amplifier. To bypass the amp modeling, select No Amplifier.

Speaker Model

Specifies the speaker model type. Each model colors the sound uniquely. To bypass the speaker modeling, select No Cabinet.

Drive

Adjusts the amount of overdrive.

Bass

Adjusts the tone color of the low frequencies.

Treble

Adjusts the tone color of the high frequencies.

Presence

Adjusts the brightness of the sound.

Mic Type

You can choose between two microphone types. If this control is set to 0%, a large-diaphragm condenser microphone is used. At 100%, you obtain a dynamic microphone. Settings in between allow you to fade between the characteristics of these two microphones.

Microphone Position

Allows you to choose from seven positions to place the microphone. These positions result from two different angles (center and edge) and three different distances from the speaker, as well as an additional center position at an even greater distance from the speaker.

Channel Mode

Determines in which way the two input channels are distorted.

  • L applies the effect to the left input channel only. The right channel remains clean and unprocessed.

  • R applies the effect to the right input channel only. The left channel remains clean and unprocessed.

  • L+R sums the two input channels into a mono signal and applies the effect to this signal.

  • Stereo applies the effect to the two input channels.

Note

The L and R modes allow you to use two instances of the effect to process the left and the right channel individually using different effect settings.

Output

Controls the output level of the amplifier.
