White Amp - Softube VST User Manual

White Amp

White is based on an all round great amp, a classic that set the industry standard for classic, distorted
rock'n'roll sounds. The genius is its simplicity. It's stripped down to the bare essentials – all tubes, only one
channel, and no reverb or any other built-in effects.
Sound wise, it goes from mad screaming preamp shred, to warm, speakers about to break power amp distor-
tion. Perfect when you need a charact eristically distorted edge and a powerful roar.
First Use
Set all parameters in the middle (12 o' c lock). Turn down the Master Volume a little bit (to 10 o' c lock) and
play your guitar while changing the Pre Amp Volume. The sound goes from almost Hi Fi clean on low Pre
Amp Volume settings, to a crunchy distortion (Pre Amp Volume in the middle), and finally to a high-gain
setting with Pre Amp Volume on max. If you want an even meaner distortion, turn down the Middle and
turn up the Master Volume.
The sound will change quite dramatically when you start moving the mic away from the cabinet, since certain frequencies will
cancel each other out due to interference between the four speaker drivers.
Presence
Knobs
The functionality of the knobs on the front panel of the plug in correspond exactly to the front panel of the
real amplifier.
Presence
Bass Middle
The presence is used to control the feedback loop and thus the amount of treble in the
power amp. Turn it up to get a high frequency boost.
