The SMOKE Amp Simulator has a full set of amplifier controls, speaker combinations, and modeled versions of several classic guitar amplifiers.
PAGE ONE CONTROLS
- AMP
Enables or disables the amplifier model. If the switch is OFF, none of the amplifier models will be active (although the Speaker, Gain, Drive, and Master controls will still be operational).
- MODEL
These are representations, or models, of well-known guitar amplifiers:
- USA – Fender™ Deluxe
- Plexi – Marshall™ Plexi
- British – VOX™ AC-30
- Chief – Matchless™ Chieftain
- Rectify – Mesa Boogie™ Rectifier
- Twin – American Fender Twin™
- MIC
This is a switch to control on-axis versus off-axis mic’ing of the speakers.
- SPEAKER
There are three different algorithms that simulate the number of speakers in an amplifier housing. If OFF is chosen, no speaker modeling will be heard.
- 1×12 – one active 12-inch speaker
- 2×12 – two active 12-inch speakers
- 4×12 – four active 12-inch speakers
- GAIN
The Gain switch introduces a boost into the guitar amp, like a high gain switch.
- DRIVE
Sometimes referred to as Overdrive, Drive represents the amount of overloading of the amplifier—which is what creates distortion. The higher this control is set, the more distorted the signal will be.
Range: 0 to 100
- MASTER
This is the output level of the amplifier. When set to a minimum setting, no signal will be heard.
Range: 0 to 100
PAGE TWO CONTROLS
- TONE
This switch enables the four tone controls. When OFF, the settings of the Bass, Mid, Treble, and Presence are disabled.
- BASS
Controls the amount of low frequencies.
Range: 0 to 100
- MID
Controls the amount of mid-range frequencies.
Range: 0 to 100
- TREBLE
Controls the amount of high frequencies.
Range: 0 to 100
- PRESENCE
Sometimes referred to as Brilliance or Edge, Presence boosts very high frequencies.
Range: 0 to 100
