Power Soak
The POWER SOAK control determines the level of power reduction for the guitar amp signal.
Set fully left mutes the signal, turned fully right results in a power reduction of -8 dB. Therefore,
the signal level at the SOAK OUTPUT is always reduced by at least 8 dB.
An 8dB reduction can be compared approximately to the volume that results from a „half
power“ setting at guitar amps; usually this is still pretty loud in many situations. If you wish
to have an unaltered signal present at the cabinet, you can always feed the cab with a second
speaker out from the amp directly.
The Cabulator’s power soak provides three main features:
1. No dynamic loss – the sound is independent from the power soak intensity.
2. The power soak is independent from the sound simulation unit. There is no mutual interac-
tion which would complicate operation.
3. The power soak functionality and regulation is a passive design can also be used without
power connection.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Turn the POWER SOAK control fully left if no cabinet is connected to the
SOAK OUTPUT. Otherwise the impedance at the SPEAKER IN increases. This is not critical but
reduces the power of the input signal at the SPEAKER IN.
Speaker Voicing
The SPEAKER VOICING control is the main element for sound creation. Like with a cabinet you
can adjust the basic sound character and simulate the sound pressure level here: If you turn the
control to the right, a mid focus is becoming more and more audible. At the same time signal
level and compression effects increase – just like the sound changes with a loud cabinet.
