42 | BASS AMP ROOM
used to limit the peaks of the
D.I. signal, and would then
be set somewhere around 12
o’clock, depending on the level
of the input signal. With a
higher setting you will get a
longer sustain on each note.
Limiter LED
The LED on the top right of
the Limiter knob indicates
when the limiter is working
(like a gain reduction meter).
Mix Knobs
D.I./Amp Balance
This fader sets the balance
between the D.I. signal and
the amp signal. Use the Solo
knobs to audition each chan-
nel (post fader).
Solo
Click the Solo texts to solo
either the Direct Inject chan-
nel or the Amplifier (and
cabinet) channel. You can only
solo one channel at a time, so
by soloing one channel you au-
tomatically un -solo the other
channel.
Phase Invert (Amp)
Inverts the phase of the amp
signal. Changing the relative
phase between the D.I. signal
and amp signal will often
completely change the sound.
If you have a hard time trying
to find a good blend between
the two signals, try flipping
the Phase Invert. It usually
makes a big difference to the
sound.
Phase invert! If you have the balance fader somewhere
in the middle, you should make it a habit to toggle the
Phase invert
switch. It can make a huge difference
to the sound.
Output
Sets the output volume. It goes
from 32 dB to +32 dB, except
at the minimum position
where it turns off the output
signal completely.
Output Peak LED
The Output Peak LED indi-
cates when the output signal
peaks at 0 dBFS. Bass Amp
Room will not clip the peaks,
it is only an indication.
Bypassing Amps or Cabs
You can choose to bypass the amp or the cabinet
by selecting amp bypass or cab bypass from the
small box in the lower right corner.
This is very useful if you want to use Bass Amp
Room with an external speaker (or speaker plug in)
or if you just want to add a cabinet simulation to a
track, such as a recorded line out from your ampli-
fier.
This will not bypass the D.I. section, since that can
be easily done by setting the D.I./Amplifier Fader
all the way to the right (on AMPLIFIER).
By bypassing the cabinets in Bass Amp Room, you can
use the cabinets from the other Amp Room plug ins. Just
insert, for example, Metal Amp Room (with bypassed
amplifier) on the track after Bass Amp Room (with a
bypassed cabinet).
