Overview

All the cab character. None of the file management.

Cabs is a cabinet simulator built around filter-based cabinet and microphone modeling. No impulse response files to manage, no folders to organize, no latency from convolution — just pick a cabinet, pick a mic, and dial in your tone.

Twelve cabinet types span the range from a small 1×8 combo all the way up to a 4×12 stack, a vintage 8×10, and an isolation cab. Five microphone voicings — condenser, dynamic, ribbon, vintage, and off-axis — change the high-frequency character and proximity response exactly the way physically moving a mic changes what you hear in a real session.

The Tone control shapes body and presence across the cabinet response. Spectral Density adds harmonic fullness to the midrange for signals that sound thin or too direct. Room simulation adds three early reflections tuned per cabinet type, and a wet/dry mix lets you blend cab-processed and direct signals in parallel — all inside the plugin.

  • 12 Cabinet types
    From a 1×8 combo to a 4×12 stack and vintage 8×10; each model has its own resonance, mid character, speaker breakup, and rolloff tuned independently.
  • 5 Mic voicings
    Condenser, dynamic, ribbon, vintage, and off-axis — each changes the proximity and presence response the way mic placement does on a real cab.
  • Tone control
    Shapes the body and presence balance across the cabinet response so you’re not locked into one fixed sound per model.
  • Spectral Density
    Adds harmonic fullness to the midrange for signals that sound thin or too direct compared to a real miked cabinet.
  • Room simulation
    Three early reflections tuned per cabinet type give the signal physical space without pushing it into reverb territory.
  • Dry/wet mix
    Blend processed and direct signals in parallel inside the plugin — no external routing or extra tracks needed.
  • 56 factory presets
    Covers clean, blues, rock, metal, bass, and beyond — all fully editable and saveable as user presets. All parameters save and restore with your session.
