SPKR SIZE
– This control “scales” the IR to simulate shrinking or enlarging the virtual speaker. This effect can
be used to shift where the tone “sits” in a mix, or to create dramatic effects. Subtle settings (0.9-1.1) will
sound most natural.
SPKR SIZE
is not offered in STEREO modes or when the selected IR is running in UltraRes.
INPUT SELECT
– For use in the MONO cab modes. This determines how incoming stereo signals will be
processed. Options include inputting only LEFT or RIGHT channels, STEREO or SUM L+R. This can be used, for
example, to run two Cab blocks in parallel for stereo processing by setting one to Left and the other to Right.
MODE
–
Offers “HI-/ULTRA-RES,” “STEREO ULTRA-RES” “NORMAL RES” and “STEREO” (normal res) modes.
Fractal Audio Systems Cab IRs come in two different formats:
Standard Res,
and
UltraRes
™. UltraRes IRs use a
patent-pending proprietary technology to deliver enhanced sonic resolution without high latency or CPU load.
When you use UltraRes™ IRs and set the Cab block mode to UltraRes, the highest quality sound is achieved. If
you don’t use Ultra-Res data, the IRs will load in “high” resolution.
Selecting one of the “Normal” options causes all IRs (even UltraRes™ IRs!) to load in standard resolution,
without the benefits of UltraRes™.
“STEREO” modes offer two Ultra-Res or two Standard Res impulses to be loaded in a single cab block. Fully
independent left and right side parameters appear when you select this option.

To use a stereo Cab block with two amps, connect both amps to the cab. Then
set the
BALANCE
control for one Amp fully left, the
BALANCE
for the second amp
block fully right, and set the Cab block
MODE
to “STEREO.”
See Stereo Cab Mode Parameters (below) for more.
