The purpose of calling the ADA 

MICROCAB II 

a "miked" guitar cabinet emulator is to 

distinguish it by features that account for the microphone in the audio path. As the number of 
speakers is increased in a miked cabinet, the number of signal paths to the microphone 
increases, adding a comb filter effect to the guitar sound on tape. The sound from these 
"paths" travels different distances to the microphone element. Therefore, when combined, 
cancellations and reinforcements are produced across the sound spectrum. This is the 
source of the "complex" feel to the close-miked guitar

 cabinet.
