Speakers/cabinets
A module from this category is usually placed aer any amp module.
Module name = Convoluon speaker simulaon
Descripon = This module uses real-me convoluon to mimic actual speaker and cabinet
setups. Convoluon can be very CPU-intensive so there are 2 opmizaon opons, “Resample”
and “Hi-Res.” Forcing downsampling of the signal reduces the CPU ulizaon to an amazing 25%,
while sll 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 buon allows you
to import your own Impulse Responses in .wav format.
Module name = Speaker Construcon Set (SCS)
Descripon = Select from any of the predened 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 conguraons. (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 sengs you’re
change, you could end up with some very “unique” sounds.
