Separating Amps and Cabinets: CabDriver

Regular Studio PROFILEs are created using a guitar amp and a guitar cabinet, captured by a microphone (or
several microphones). The resulting Studio PROFILE is split into two portions: Amplifier PROFILE and Cabinet
PROFILE, with the sound of the microphone becoming an integral part of the Cabinet PROFILE. Since the Studio
PROFILE is taken in one go, it is complete and perfect as it is. While there is no exact information about the
separate sound of the amp or cabinet, the PROFILER uses an intelligent algorithm to create the best approximation
of a separation line between the Amplifier and Cabinet PROFILEs. This algorithm is called CabDriver
makes it possible to separate the Amplifier and Cabinet PROFILEs of a Studio PROFILE and combine them with
those chosen from another Rig or preset. It also allows you to switch off the guitar cabinet simulation

are captured within the Amplifier PROFILE. The result is thus highly authentic, and ready to be amplified by a solid-
state amp, or the optional,
