Cabinet [CAB]
The
Speaker
Cabinet
Simulator
(“Cab” for short) recreates the tonal characteristics of a any number of speaker
cabinet configurations. The Axe-Fx II contains 70 built-in “factory” cabinet simulations, plus 50 memory locations
you can use to load custom Impulse Response (“IR”) files. The Cab block also offers the ability to apply room and
microphone simulations, plus tone-shaping of low and high frequencies.
Factory cabs include custom creations by Fractal Audio System, selections from 3
rd
-party libraries by RedWirez and
Ownhammer, and contributions from loudspeaker design engineer Jay Mitchell. Visit http://www.redwirez.com
and http://www.ownhammer.com to purchase additional IRs you can load into your Axe-Fx II.
Each Axe-Fx II preset can use two fully independent
Cab
blocks.
Cab X/Y Channel Switching
Each instance of the Cab block stores two fully independent sets of parameters called
X
and
Y
. Selecting between
these allows you to change all block settings—instantly—at the touch of a switch or button (excluding current
Bypass State
and any
Modifier
assignments). See
X/Y Switching
on p.
36
for more information.

processing is stereo, and the resolution is lo-res (2 × 1024).
