between the two microphones.
Placing the Microphone
• To select a microphone position, click the corresponding ball in the graphic. The selected
position is marked in red.
Configuration
On the [Configuration] page, you can specify whether you want to use VST Amp Rack in stereo or in
mono mode.
• To process the pre-effects, the amplifier, and the cabinets in full stereo mode, make sure that
the plug-in is inserted on a stereo rack, and activate the [Stereo] button.

In stereo mode, the effect requires more processing power.
Master
Use the [Master] page to fine-tune the sound.
Input/Output Level Meters
The input and output level meters on the left and the right of the Master section show the signal level
of your audio. The rectangle on the input meter indicates the optimum incoming level range. In compact
view, the input and output levels are indicated by two LEDs at the top left and right.
Using the Master Controls
• To activate/deactivate the equalizer, click the pedal-like [On/Off] button. If the equalizer is
active, the LED next to the button is lit.
• To activate/deactivate an equalizer band, click the corresponding [Gain] knob. If a band is
active, the LED to the left of the [Gain] knob is lit.
• To tune your guitar strings, click the pedal-like [On/Off] button to activate the Tuner and play
a string. If the correct pitch is displayed and the row of LEDs below the digital display is green,
the string is tuned correctly.
If the pitch is too low, red LEDs are lit on the left. If the pitch is too high, red LEDs are lit on
the right. The more LEDs are lit, the lower/higher is the pitch.
• To mute the output signal of the plug-in, click the pedal-like [Master] button. If the output is
muted, the LED is not lit. Use this to tune your guitar in silence, for example.
• To change the volume of the output signal, use the [Level] control on the [Master] page.
View Settings
You can choose between 2 views: the default view and a compact view, which takes up less screen
space.
In the default view, you can use the buttons at the top of the plug-in panel to open the corresponding
page in the display section above the amp controls. You can horizontally resize the plug-in panel by
clicking and dragging the edges or corners.
In the compact view, the display section is hidden from view. You can change the amp settings and
switch amps or cabinets using the mouse wheel.
Using the Smart Controls
Smart controls become visible on the plug-in frame when you move the mouse pointer over the plug-in
panel.
