6 - General AmpliTube™ control/display

We suggest leaving the Gate OFF (fully counterclockwise) unless you noti-

ce high background noise from the guitar signal. In that case try to slightly

increase the gate knob up to a point where the LED lights and the Gate cuts

the input.

Output Level

This is the main output level of AmpliTube™ (fig. 46), it has a very wide range

and has to be used to set the output level of the various AmpliTube™ presets.

Depending on how AmpliTube™ is set the level can be quite different at the

Post Effect outputs, that’s why this control is very useful.

Pay particular attention to the driven / distorted sounds - they must absolu-

tely not clip within the sequencer Mixer because the AmpliTube™ distortion

must be followed by an clean audio path, otherwise the digital clipping will

corrupt the AmpliTube™ sound, causing heavy degradation of the overall

quality.

The optimal value for this knob is where the AmpliTube™ output signal (you

can check it on the level meter of the Sequencer mixer) is as close as possi-

ble to 0 dB but not clipping, for the setting you’re using.

Module Bypass

Each AmpliTube™ module (Stomp, Amp, Post FX) can be independently

bypassed (fig. 47).

This can be very useful to only bypass the stomp section, for example, or to

use AmpliTube™ as a multi-effects unit bypassing all the Amplifier stage.

To Bypass a module click on the “BYPASS” button that’s on the left of the

module selection buttons, the module that will be bypassed is the one that’s

currently selected.

Presets

AmpliTube™ comes with a large collection of ready to use high quality pre-

sets. They’re organized into main categories:

- Amp Brand new sounds created just for AmpliTube™, with references

to the best guitar amplification systems ever made.

- Bass Presets good for bass too!

- Multi FX Stomp and Multi effects only.

- VIP This is dedicated to famous guitarists and it’s filled with presets

that aims to recreate their typical tones, whenever this is possi-

ble, of course!
