A guitar stack standing in a room
A guitar stack standing in a room: a preamp with GAIN to forty, BASS and TREBLE on the amp, three cabinets, and a LEVEL for the output. Made for the audio input, and for chips that want to sound like they went through one.
As STACK: X is GAIN, Y is CAB. Touch to engage, lift to let go, HOLD to keep it.
Four to a socket, in order: sound runs through the slots top to bottom. Open the box and every knob is in real units; BYPASS takes it out of the path without losing its settings; the presets are along the top; any knob learns a controller and gets an automation lane.
| Knob | Range | Starts at | Scale |
|---|---|---|---|
| GAIN | 1 x to 40 x | 8 x | log |
| BASS | -12 dB to 12 dB | 0 dB | linear |
| TREBLE | -12 dB to 12 dB | 0 dB | linear |
| CAB | OFF · OPEN · CLOSED | OPEN | steps |
| LEVEL | -24 dB to 12 dB | -6 dB | linear |
Every box ships with a bank. AS SET is the knobs as you left them; the rest are starting points, each a sound someone wanted often enough to name. Star one and it sits at the front of the bank.
| Preset | GAIN | BASS | TREBLE | CAB | LEVEL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CLEAN | 3 x | 0 dB | 0 dB | OPEN | -4 dB |
| EDGE | 6 x | 1 dB | 1 dB | OPEN | -5 dB |
| CRUNCH | 10 x | 2 dB | 1 dB | OPEN | -6 dB |
| LEAD | 18 x | 1 dB | 3 dB | CLOSED | -8 dB |
| STACK | 24 x | 3 dB | -1 dB | CLOSED | -8 dB |
| DOOM | 32 x | 6 dB | -4 dB | CLOSED | -10 dB |
| BASS AMP | 8 x | 5 dB | -3 dB | OPEN | -5 dB |
| DIRECT | 6 x | 0 dB | 0 dB | OFF | -3 dB |
Every box is also a line of the console's language, so a pad or a patch can carry its effects in text. The words are the knobs:
