Cabulator

Control Elements

Setup 1: Speaker Simulation Only 

Cabinet: Open/Close

This switch toggles between an open and closed guitar cabinet characteristic. OPEN sounds 
definitely more open, brilliant and direct.

The signal contains more transients and produces less punch. The CLOSED setting offers more 
punch and with its added compression more closely creates the impression of the compressed 
air in a closed box, though with less brilliance and detail. 

Character: Vintage/Modern

The CHARACTER switch sets the basic characteristic of the simulated loudspeaker. VINTAGE 
provides  strong,  soft  mids  and  a  slender  bass.  MODERN  results  in  wider  sounds  with  a 
stronger bass and open highs.

Leveling the D. I. Output Signal

The signal level at the D. I. OUTPUT is independent from the POWER SOAK regulation. However, 
the SPEAKER VOICING control influences signal levels. The more it is turned to the right, the 
higher are the signal levels at the D. I. OUTPUT. Thus a first action to accommodate levels can 
be the regulation of SPEAKER VOICING.

But if you actually are satisfied with a certain SPEAKER VOICING setting and do not want to 
change this sound result, you have to adjust the signal levels at following units (AD converters, 
line inputs of a console, etc.).

Usually the ranges to set the sensitivity of converter or line inputs are sufficient. If not, you 
can use a microphone preamp to level the signal as needed.
