Suhr PT100
Plugin Manual
Using this impressive setup Dirk has produced a huge variety of custo-
mized ‘Recording Chains’ for the Suhr PT100 amplifier, which you can
apply to your Plugin amp settings. Imagine a selection of 119 perfectly
mic’d and EQ-ed cabinets that you can select and use instantly with a
single mouse click!
We carefully placed up to 12 microphones on each cabinet used. These
mics were then fed to individual channels on the vintage Neve VXS console.
This configuration gave us fine control over the mix of the various micro-
phones used and the ability to apply Neve filters and EQs. The final mix
was routed to Pro Tools for recording.
An innovative new approach was also used to capture various pre-amps
and EQ chains. A parallel chain was created that was split to three
different hardware preamps and EQs. These parallel chains were also
routed to their own discrete channels on the Neve VXS console and then
sent to Pro Tools for capture. This routing allowed us to record each chain
individually or blend them for interesting combinations.
Many amp simulations give you some captured impulses of a selection of
cabinets and microphones, then they leave it up to you to EQ and further
process these incomplete setups by mixing different microphone setups,
adjusting phase and EQ, and so on. But this really is not an easy job; it
takes years of experience to get it right.
Now all you have to do is select the Recording Chain that sounds best for
your amp channel and setting, adjust the Tone Stack and Gain and you’re
good to go. Recallable, reliable, flexible and fast.
And if for any reason you should not like any of the Recording Chains the
Plugin offers, you may use the very last setting (labeled Cabinet Bypass)
and use your own mic’d cabinet or external IR software. This setting
will also give you the sound of a tube amp wired straight into a console,
which also may be a nice effects sound.
