64 – B4 II
The
Tube
Amp
Volume
sets the output level sent from the amplifier model.
This determines the overall volume of the organ, and is used to provide volume
compensation between presets. This is strictly a volume adjustment, and has
no effect on the tone of the amp.
The
Bass
and
Treble
knobs control two shelving equalizers helping to shape
the sound of the amp.
Tube
Amp
Bass
boosts or cuts the bass frequency range and can give amplifier
distortion a fuller sound.
The
Tube
Amp
Treble
setting affects the high frequency tones sent through
the amplifier. This can be used to reduce the high frequencies of the output
sound, and create a more mellow output from the B4.
Cabinet Settings
The last part of the Tube Amp controls is the
Cabinets
panel. Here you choose
the different cabinet models available as a tonal addition to your organ sound.
Below are descriptions with some comments concerning sound character.
Please use the comments as only rough guidelines. Most of the cabinet
models can be very variable in sound depending on the settings of other B4
parameters. Feel free to experiment.
Rotator
122
Open
: This cabinet has an open, direct sound and is well-suited
for everything rock.
Rotator 122 Closed: If you are looking for that typical jazz flavor, use this
cabinet.
Rotator
147
Open
: This one also provides very nice jazz tones. The microphones
are placed off-axis in this model and the sound is a bit softer than with the
closed 122 model.
Rotator
147
Closed
: Yet another setting similar to the Rotator 122 closed.
Again, the microphones are placed off-axis and the sound character is more
on the soft side.
