IR-Based Cabinet Simulator Every guitar or bass player has their own favorite amps and cabinets. Yet however much you love a stack's sound, you will probably have trouble hurling it on and off the stage, let alone playing it at home (unless you don't mind your family and neighbors going deaf). And you never know the quality of the backline the venue is going to provide you with.

The solution for gigging players came in the form of cabinet simulation units (cabsims), which let you approximate your favourite cabinet's sound. Analog cabsims were pretty good for plugging into the PA but used to lack detail in their sound — and they only modeled a limited number of cabinets. Next came digital cabsims, and their incredibly detailed sound pushed cabinet simulation to a whole new level. They were, however, quite expensive and not pedalboard-friendly enough.

This eventually led us to creating the A+ Cab Zone LE — a digital IR-based cabinet simulation device. The Impulse Response Convolution technology provides a realistic sound and preserves the unique character of the cabinet and microphone used to record the impulse.
