B. CABINET MODELS

Now let’s look at the CABINET models:

CABINET AND SPEAKER ACCURACY

There’s not much point in having incredibly accurate amp models if the speaker cabinet models on offer aren’t of the same exacting standards. As you may know, in real life, the output stage of a tube amp works in close harmony with the varying impedance curve of the speaker(s) it is driving. This intimate and vital relationship plays a major role in producing the warm, punchy sound and pleasing feel that we all know and love. In a nutshell, modelling a speaker cabinet is not just a case of frequency response, but is a combination of fre- quency response, transient response (how a speaker reacts to the strength of how a note is played), and the all-important interaction of the amps output to the speaker’s impedance curve. In addition, other vitally important factors that have to be taken into account when modelling a cabinet are the actual physical dimensions of the enclosure (cabinet), the unique tonality of said enclosure (which will be affected by both the type and thickness of the wood it is made of) and whether it boasts an open, semi-open or closed-back design. Special cir- cuitry and unique modelling technology ensures that all of these factors are well taken care of in the cabinet models built into your ToneLab.

1. TWEED 1X12 (TWD 1X12)

This speaker is the other half of our Tweed 1x12 Amp model. As the name sug- gests it is a single 12" speaker, uses an Alnico magnet and made in the USA by one of the US’s revered names in vintage loudspeakers.

2. TWEED 4X10 (TWD 4X10)

Keeping with the US made Alnico magnet speakers, this cabinet partnered our TWEED 4x10 modelled amp. It is an open backed cab using four 10" 8 Ohm speakers, wired in parallel for a total of 2 Ohms impedance. Although originally intended for bass guitar, this speaker rocks for many different styles.

3. BLACK 2X10 (BLK 2X10)

Although we did not model the amp that goes exactly with this cabinet, we loved the tone of this mid-60s Fullerton, California made open backed 2x10" ceramic magnet (of US origin) 35 Watt combo. So here it is. Great for blues, jazz and coun- try. As with all cabinet models it can be mixed and matched with any amp model to produce some interesting tonal combinations. But for some recommended uses, please see the following charts.

4. BLACK 2X12 (BLK 2X12)

As you’ve probably guessed by now, this speaker system accompanied the amp that was modelled for the BLACK 2x12 amp. Featuring two 12" Ceramic magnet speakers, again made in USA in the mid ’60s. They are 8 Ohm units wired in par- allel for a 4 Ohm total load. These speakers have been featured on countless
