Speakers/cabinets
A module from this category is usually placed aer any amp module.
Module name = Convoluon speaker simulaon
Descripon = This module uses real-me convoluon to mimic actual speaker and cabinet
setups. Convoluon can be very CPU-intensive so there are 2 opmizaon opons, “Resample”
and “Hi-Res.” Forcing downsampling of the signal reduces the CPU ulizaon to an amazing 25%,
while sll retaining virtually the same tonal quality. (This is possible because Guitar speakers
generally do not have a frequency range of more than 5-6 kHz.) The available speakers and cabi-
nets were sampled with several microphones placed at varying angles. One sampling (an “Im-
pulse Response”) is a xed moment in me and cannot be adjusted. The Load buon allows you
to import your own Impulse Responses in .wav format.
Module name = Speaker Construcon Set (SCS)
Descripon = Select from any of the predened speaker models and put them in a cabinet with a
physical size of your choice. This simulated speaker cabinet is then miked by any of the 20 micro-
phone conguraons. (This technique is considerably less CPU-intensive than the RIR convolu on
module.) Remember, ReValver MKIII is capable of building virtual speaker cabinets that really
cannot exist in the physical world, and depending on which components and sengs you’re
change, you could end up with some very “unique” sounds.
