Features common to the series

Voice Switch
Each voice switch makes radical and far-reaching circuit changes to both the preamp and power amp, including EQ voicing, position of the tone stack in the circuit, gain, and power amp damping, allowing unique tone control flexibility.
CabRig
Overcoming the shortcomings of IR snapshots, state-of-the-art digital processing captures the detailed sound and nuances of a miked-up guitar cabinet. Store over 250 mic and cabinet combinations in three onboard slots. Each cabinet type has selectable mic type and axis, alongside room mics and master EQ. Connect to the free Architect software for even deeper options.
USB-C connection
Up to four channels of guitar signal (clean/dry, preamp out, stereo emulated out) can be sent to your PC for recording. All four channels can be recorded at once (depending on your PC's processing speed), making tracking guitar parts super easy and giving you flexibility in your mix.
Power Reduction
This is achieved by controlling the internal operating voltages of the power stage (both HT (high voltage) and bias) by varying the reactance of the output transformer/speaker, rather than the load resistance, which has an undesirable effect on tone. The result is a limit on the output without affecting the tone shaping of the output stage and feedback loop. Thus, the fundamental tone remains the same, but the power amp overdrive occurs at a lower volume level, giving the feeling of a fully turned up small tube amp.
Reverb
Two types are available: "DARK" and "LIGHT". DARK is based on room reverb, and LIGHT is based on plate reverb. The reverb time can be adjusted separately for the clean channel and the OD channel using the "Architect" software.
