TOP ROW

INPUT DRIVE (was DRIVE) – In a typical amp this is called various names (Drive,

Volume, Gain, etc). It is the knob closest to the input jack. In many cases it has a bright cap so the frequency response will be dependent on the knob position.

As the gain increases the tone shifts from a treble and upper mid emphasis to a bass and lower mid emphasis.

OVERDRIVE – A second drive control for some amp models. It does not have a bright cap so it only affects the gain. Set Overdrive to 8.00 to get the identical response to pre-v10.10 firmware for models that have Overdrive.

BOTTOM ROW

INPUT TRIM – A clean, linear gain applied at the input to the amp block that adjusts the relative gain of the preamp. (This is analogous to changing the type of tube for V1 in an actual amp.) It does the same thing as the BOOST switch, the difference being that you can control how much is boosted or cut (+/-20 dB). As a rule of thumb, every 2x multiplier equals +6dB boost. In other words,

Input Trim at 4.0 produces a +12dB boost. Input Trim should be set to 1.00 if you want to match the actual amp.

INPUT DRIVE and OVERDRIVE will have a dramatic effect on the response of the amplifier and the personality of your instrument.

See the footnote in the amp description list to quickly find the amps that have the OVERDRIVE control.

BASS/MID/TREB – “Passive” tone stack. Can be changed with TONESTACK TYPE.

In most cases, DRIVE, BASS, MID, and TREB are accurate within 10% of the actual amp.

For most tone stacks, when you set the BASS and TREB to zero, the tone stack becomes basically “flat” and the MID becomes a volume control.

COMP – Controls the amount of preamp compression and sets the compression threshold of the cathode follower. Same as the CATHODE THRESHOLD parameter, which is one of three settings that adjust the cathode follower algorithm.

See the Dynamics page for more. Many models default to zero as they do not have measureable compression.

PRESENCE – Boosts/cuts upper frequencies from the power amp by varying negative feedback frequency response. Increased presence can help sound cut through a heavy mix. Decrease it to compensate for overly-bright amps. Presence is tightly coupled to speaker impedance (HI FREQ, HI RESONANCE).

HI CUT – On amps with no negative feedback (DAMPING=0), PRESENCE is replaced with HI CUT, a simple high-shelf EQ at the power amp output.

DEPTH – Boosts low frequencies from the power amp by varying the negative feedback frequency response. On amps with a fixed depth circuit, Depth will have a preset value. Also called “Resonance” or “Girth” on some amps.

MASTER VOL – Determines the amount of power amp distortion. As it increases, the tone controls have less influence on the sound. Amp models default to a starting Master Volume setting when selected. (Non-MV amps default to 10.)

Before adjusting the MASTER VOL, be aware that it defaults to 10 for nonmaster volume (vintage) amps. If you want more MV on non-MV amps, increases the MV TRIM.

You can also adjust preamp gain globally with GLOBAL AMP GAIN, which affects every amp and preset. One reason you might do this is to compensate for the gain difference when switching to a hotter/ quieter guitar.

On the Axe-Fx unit: GLOBAL button > CONFIG > AMP GAIN

BOOST – Toggles the input boost for an additional 12 dB of input gain. Enabling

Boost sometimes works better than turning up preamp gain.

CUT – Reduces the amount of low frequencies into the amp. This can be used to achieve a tighter tone or to reduce low-end “flub”. This is similar to increasing

LOW CUT (Tone page) while still retaining some low end so it doesn’t get thin.

Provides an easy way to cut the overpowering bass in models such as Recto,

Splawn Nitro, Komet and others.

FAT – Emphasizes midrange “body” by shifting down the tonestack center frequency. Specifically, it alters the tonestack treble capacitor, so the effect depends on the tonestack’s location (see TONE page).

BRIGHT – A “treble peaker” which functions mainly to compensate for the loss of highs at low amp volume. The effect may be subtle or quite pronounced, depending on the amp selected, and it is also affected by the BRIGHT CAP.

SATURATION – Switches in a zener diode clipping stage between the preamp and the tone stack (the “Arrendondo Mod”) for more aggressive distortion character which also adds compression and cuts volume. You may have to adjust the MASTER or LEVEL to compensate.

DYNAMIC PRESENCE – Models the output transformer leakage inductance that results in a brightening of the tone when the power amp is pushed. Increasing this value results in a brighter response as the virtual power amp is pushed.

When playing softly or at lower gains, the influence of this control is lessened.

Note that this only affects the power amp modeling and is dependent on the degree of power amp overdrive. This control can also be set negative to cause the tone to darken when playing hard. This control can also be used to help “dial in” the sweet spot of an amp model. As the MV is increased an amp becomes more liquid, compressed and easier to play. However, the highs may get overly compressed causing the amp to sound too dark. The Dynamic Presence control allows you to get the desired power amp drive and liquid feeling and then bring the highs back without affecting the rest of the spectrum.

DYNAMIC DEPTH – Analogous to the Dynamic Presence control, this increases or decreases low frequencies when the virtual amp is being pushed. While real amps don’t display this behavior, it is a valuable tone-shaping tool.

MASTER VOL TRIM – Can be used to increase (or decrease) the Master Volume for non-MV amps. If MV is 10 and you set MV Trim to 2.0 then the MV will be 20.

Amp Block

TOP ROW

LOW RES FREQ/RES Q/RESONANCE – Guitar loudspeakers have a low-frequency resonance, typically about 100 Hz. This shifts up slightly when the speaker is mounted in an enclosure and is typically lower for open back cabs. This resonance causes an increase in the power amplifier response due to the finite output impedance of the power amp. The default LF Resonance is based on the cab most likely to be used with that amp.

HI FREQ – Sets the “corner frequency” of the speaker impedance rise due to voice-coil inductance. The speaker voice-coil presents an inductive load to the power amp at high frequencies. This inductive load, in conjunction with the output transformer capacitance, creates a high-frequency resonance. Typical guitar speakers have a corner frequency between 1 kHz and 2 kHz. Lower values give more midrange emphasis.

HI RESONANCE – Similar to HI FREQ but this control only changes the slope of the resonance. Default value is consistent with typical “semi-inductance” of speaker voice-coil. Varying this value will change the high-frequency load presented to the power tubes.

BOTTOM ROW

XFORMER LOW/HIGH FREQ – These set the output transformer bandwidth.

SPEAKER DRIVE – Simulates distortion caused by pushing a speaker too far. It interacts with the MASTER.

NOTE: The SPEAKER page is not an EQ. It allows you to adjust the impedance that the virtual speaker presents to the virtual power tubes. In most cases, the resulting EQ is quite different than the impedance curve since negative feedback flattens the response. If you turn DAMPING all the way down then the EQ will be close to the impedance curve (but still influenced by the transformer).

TOP ROW

TREMOLO FREQ/DEPTH (bias tremolo) – Works by varying the bias of the virtual power tubes, resulting in a particularly “organic” sound. Most importantly, the tremolo is “self-ducking” and decreases at higher signal amplitudes. On some amps high values of bias trem depth can result in excessive crossover distortion. On others, the tremolo can vary greatly between loud and soft playing.

BOTTOM ROW

INPUT SELECT – The Amp block processes audio in mono. This control determines how incoming stereo signals will be processed.

Amp Block

TOP ROW

SUPPLY SAG – Controls power supply impedance. Higher settings simulate higher power supply impedance, causing greater tube plate voltage (B+)

“droop” and giving a more compressed, spongy and looser feel. Sag interacts with the MASTER: as the power amp is pushed and draws more current from its power supply, Sag has more effect. Sag values around 2 simulate a solid-state rectifier, 4-6 a tube rectifier.

Setting SUPPLY SAG to 0 disables the power amp and turns the MASTER into a simple level control with a 40 dB range.

DYNAMICS – Simulates the interaction and compressive effects of the power amp, power supply and speaker when they are pushed hard. Negative values cause dynamic range expansion, while positive values cause dynamic range reduction, resulting in a more compressive, bouncier effect.

In general, the more heavily driven the power amp section is, the more effect the SUPPLY SAG and DYNAMICS controls have.

PICK ATTACK – Controls a sophisticated dynamic range processor that operates on leading edge transients. Negative values reduce pick attack while positive values enhance it.

THUNK – Allows adding “weight” to tones by simulating the very low-frequency interaction of a speaker cabinet with the guitar. Higher values simulate closer proximity of the guitar to the cabinet.

XFORMER MATCH – One of the most powerful controls in the amp block. It changes the turns ratio (and therefore the primary impedance) of the output transformer, which controls how easily power tubes are driven into clipping.

Decreasing causes the power tubes to clip later, the phase inverter and grid clipping become more predominant, and the speaker resonance will be more pronounced. This control has more influence with higher MASTER values and low gain amps and less influence with highly compressed amps. Increase

MASTER until desired amount of power amp distortion is achieved, then adjust

XFormer Match for sound’s character: higher = more compressed, lower = more open. The LF/HF RESONANCE parameters interact strongly with this parameter.

BOTTOM ROW

B+ TIME CONSTANT – Associated with SUPPLY SAG. Controls rate of change in power tube plate supply. “B+” refers to one of the high voltage “taps” or outputs of the main power transformer. Lower values give a bouncier feel, while higher values give a tighter, more aggressive feel. The effect of lower B+ is equivalent to increasing XFORMER MATCH. A lower B+ means the plates clip sooner which is the same as increasing the turns ratio on the transformer. This is assuming that you rebias since typically lower the B+ affects the bias.

DYNAMICS TIME – Controls how fast DYNAMICS happens.

BIAS EXCURSION – GRID MODELING parameter that controls how much the power tube grid voltage droops when the grids conduct.

EXCURSION/RECOVERY TIME – GRID MODELING parameter that controls the time constants associated with BIAS EXCURSION.

XFORMER DRIVE – Sets the amount of core saturation in the output transformer, controling how hard the transformer is driven. Higher values simulate a smaller, more easily saturated transformer.

PREAMP BIAS – Controls the bias point of the last triode (cathode follower not counted) in the preamp. Depending on the bias points of the previous stages increasing or decreasing this value can alter both the harmonic content and the attack characteristics. Typically, if the previous stage has a negative bias then increasing this value will be more noticeable and vice-versa.

Ghost notes are the result of a 120Hz signal plus harmonics getting past the power supply filtering. High SUPPLY SAG along with low B+ TIME CONSTANT can cause “ghost notes” when POWER SUPPLY TYPE is AC (as in a real amp).

Lower B+ Time Constant values will make the amp feel “faster” but too low can cause ghost notes.

To hear what ghosts notes sound like, try the following: take an amp like

Plexi 100W, turn the SAG up and the B+ TIME CONSTANT down, then play single notes around the 5th fret on the G string. You should hear a tone unrelated to the pitched note.

The cathode follower algorithm has three adjustable parameters:

CATHODE THRESHOLD – Same as the COMP parameter. Sets the compression threshold of the cathode follower. Higher value give more compression.

CATHODE TIME – Sets the attack time of the compressor.

CATHODE RATIO – Sets the maximum amount of compression, with lower values giving more compression.

Amp Block

TOP ROW

PRESENCE FREQ – Alters the center frequency of the amp’s PRESENCE control.

DEPTH FREQ – Alters the center frequency of the amp’s DEPTH control.

GRID MODELING – Replicates grid conduction in the preamp and power amp stages, which adds “real world” high frequency “fizz” or “grit”. Turn it off if this effect is undesirable. Grid modeling parameters include BIAS EXCURSION and

EXCURSION/RECOVERY TIME.

POWER TUBE TYPE – Allows selecting Tetrode (i.e. 6L6, KT66, etc.) or Pentode

(i.e. EL34, 6BQ5, etc.) power tube types. The type defaults to the appropriate value when a model is chosen but may be overridden by the user.

POWER TUBE BIAS – Sets the bias point of the power amp. Increase Power Tube

Bias to decrease crossover distortion and vice-versa. Lower values approach pure Class-B operation. Higher values approach pure Class-A.

DAMPING – Controls the amount of negative feedback in the power amp. The feedback decreases output impedance, causing the amp to react less to the speakers (”damping”). Higher values give a brighter, tighter, punchier sound but can be harsh at very high MASTER levels. Lower values give a smoother, loose and gritty sound and feel.

BOTTOM ROW

TRIODE1/2 PLATE FREQ – Sets the cutoff frequency of the plate impedance for the next-to-last (triode 1) and last (triode 2) triode in the chain, which allows you to control the buzziness that sometimes occurs with higher gain settings.

The capacitor across the triode’s plate resistor is used to smooth the response and reduce noise. You can adjust the amount of capacitance, and the resulting frequency. Lowering the frequencies dials out sharpness and “fizz”, making the tone smoother.

TRIODE HARDNESS – Controls how sharply the triodes enter saturation and can be used to simulate softer/harder tubes. The effect is subtle and most apparent at edge of breakup. Lower values give softer saturation, higher values give a more aggressive breakup. Defaults to an appropriate value when an amp model is selected.

MV LOCATION – Location of the Master Volume.

PRE-PI – Before the phaser inverter (most amps).

POST-PI – After the phase inverter (AC types).

PRE-TRIODE – Amp types based on Hiwatt models.

POWER AMP LOW/HI CUT – Low/high pass filters placed after the power amp section that shape the tonal color of the power amp. Note that AMP VOICING also sets these values. Reduce Hi Cut to remove unwanted “fizz”.

Setting DAMPING to 0 disables negative feedback and replaces the

PRESENCE control with HI CUT. DEPTH is also disabled since it only affects negative feedback.

POWER TYPE – When set to AC, models AC rectification and resulting supply ripple. High SUPPLY SAG along with low B+ TIME CONSTANT can cause “ghost notes” when the supply type is AC (as in a real amp). Lower B+ Time Constant values will make the amp feel “faster” but too low can cause ghost notes.

AC LINE FREQ – Selects the line frequency.

Amp Block

TOP ROW

LOW CUT FREQ – Reduces the amount of low frequency (10-1000Hz) before the preamp input. Use this is to tighten up a tubby bass end. Somewhere between

10-150Hz is generally where it will sound best for standard guitar tones. Also see CUT (Basic page).

HIGH CUT FREQ – Reduces the amount of high frequency (2k-20kHz) after the preamp output. Lower the value to make your top end sound smooth and silky, raise it to make it brilliant and defined.

DEFINITION – A basic “tilt EQ” located at the amp input. It changes the fundamental character of the amp from vintage to modern or vice-versa. Positive values increase the amount of upper overtone saturation, negative values reinforce lower harmonics.

CHARACTER/FREQ – These two parameters control powerful “inverse homomorphic filters”. When playing softly this dynamic filter has little effect on the sound. As the amount of distortion increases, the influence of the filter increases. The Character Frequency control sets the center frequency of the filter while the Character control sets how pronounced the effect is. For example, to darken the tone when playing harder, one might set the frequency to 10 kHz and the amount to -5. Setting the amount to +5 will make the tone brighter when playing hard. (Default = 0.)

BRIGHT CAP – Sets the value of the capacitor which determines the sonic effect of the BRIGHT switch. Increase to make the preamp brighter and vice-versa.

AMP VOICING – Voices the amp to a variety of tonal styles. Choose “Neutral” for the raw amp sound or one of the other voicings for a quick “mix-ready” tone.

Affects POWER AMP LOW/HI CUT values and applies some parametric EQ.

BOTTOM ROW

TONESTACK TYPE

ACTIVE – Gives each tone control ±12 dB boost/cut making them more sensitive; they also will not interact with each other.

DEFAULT – Matches the tonestack with the selected amp type.

[AMP] – Replaces the default tonestack with one from another amp.

TONE FREQ – Sets the center frequency of the tone controls. This control works whether you are using PASSIVE, ACTIVE, or substitute tone stacks.

TONE LOCATION

PRE – Places the tone stack at the input to the preamp.

POST – Places it between the preamp and power amp.

MID – Places it between the last two triode stages.

END – Places it after the power amp (which is impossible with a real amp).

The farther upstream you position the stack, the thinner the sound.

MID will sound chunkiest, with END being rather dark.

USE MIMIC – Identifies deviations in the response of the simulated amplifier to the actual amplifier and generates corrective data bringing a level of accuracy that has been heretofore unachievable.

When an amp is selected, the settings on this page are updated accordingly.

If you then select a different tone stack, the settings remain unchanged.

For a flat tone stack, set the TONESTACK TYPE to Vintage with B/M/T at noon.

This will allow the flexibility of being able to boost or cut bass and treble.

TOP ROW

CAB – Loads a cabinet impulse response (IR). The older FAS and RW cabs were recorded with neutral mics. OH, Kalthallen, and the Mix/Producer Pack series have matching mics included in the IR.

SPEAKER SIZE (MONO CAB ONLY) – “Scales” the IR to simulate shrinking or enlarging of the speaker. This effect can be used to shift where the tone sits in a mix, or to create dramatic effects. Subtle settings (0.9-1.1) will sound most natural.

MOTOR DRIVE – Models the effect of high power levels on speaker tone.

Simulates the impedance and distortion effects that occur when the speaker is pushed hard. Be aware this setting adds a little compression as you increase it.

NOTE: This parameter appears on the ROOM page for stereo cabs.

BOTTOM ROW

MIC – Don’t feel that you have to add a mic unless you want to add EQ, which is basically what you would be doing.

LOW/HIGH CUT – Adjusts the cutoff point of first order low/high pass filters.

Increase the Low Cut if the sound is too “bassy” or “boomy.” Decrease the High

Cut for a darker cab tone. Common settings are 80-150 Hz for high pass, and

5-7 kHz for low pass.

PROXIMITY – Causes an increase in bass or low frequency response as proximity is increased (closer to speaker). Disabled when MIC is set to none.

PROXIMITY FREQ – This allows tuning the frequency range over which the proximity effect occurs. NOTE: This parameter appears on the ROOM page for stereo cabs.

DELAY – Delays the signal up to 1 second. With cab in stereo mode or with two cab blocks in parallel, delaying one cab relative to the other can achieve interesting comb filter effects. A common practice in studio recording is to use multiple mics on a speaker at different distances to intentionally introduce it.

The effect is most pronounced when the cabs are summed to mono.

TOP ROW

ROOM LEVEL/SIZE – Determines the level and size of room reverb that is built into the cab block. Increase to add room ambience to the sound.

MIC SPACING – Increases delay times inside the room reverb by simlating the distance of the room microphone from the sound source.

AIR - Mixes some of the signal going into the Cab block with the signal leaving the Cab block.

AIR FREQUENCY – Sets the cutoff frequency of the mixed signal. Increase to maximum value for a straight mix.

D112 DYN – AKG D112

67 COND – Neumann U67

EFFECT TYPE

MONO HIRES – mono processing at 2048 resolution (42ms).

MONO LORES – mono processing at 1024 resolution (21ms).

STEREO – stereo processing at low resolution (2 × 1024).

Note that with the stock cabs there is no significant energy beyond an IR length of 1024. (The high res of 2048 allows for 1024 in stereo.) A mono cab with a non-acoustic IR would typically use Mono Lores (which also uses less CPU).

LINK (STEREO ONLY) – Sets the left channel parameters as master controls, which set identical values for left and right. You can still set right channel values independently.
