4.1 Selecting Cabinet Simulations

Image 4.1: The CAB knob, used for selecting one of the 11 built-in or custom-loaded Impulse Responses.

The IR Pedal comes with 11 pre-loaded cabinet simulations. To select a simulation, rotate the CAB knob to the desired number (1-11). Each number corresponds to a different cabinet model. Experiment with different settings to find the sound that best suits your needs.

4.2 Nyaluyukeun Volume

Ngagunakeun éta VOL knob to control the overall output level of the pedal. Adjust this knob to balance the volume with your other equipment. It is recommended to start with a lower volume and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level.

4.3 Using the XLR Output

The XLR output provides a balanced signal, which is ideal for connecting directly to mixing consoles, audio interfaces, or PA systems. This allows for a clean, low-noise signal transmission over longer cable runs, making the pedal suitable for both studio recording and live performance environments.
