[RWP] Impulse cabinet responses

Fri May 16 12:18:53 EDT 2014

Hi Alex

Regarding the buzzing sound, I think i got it sorted! there was a 
checkbox in reaverb that is accessible by jaws cursor, called:
"Attenuate impulse by -18.6" or something. somewhere in Google i read 
that it should be unchecked. but... that's wrong, because unchecking 
that brings the buzzing noise.
Now to the weak tone, I've done what you mentioned. i checked the 
parameters of the guitar AMP, i increased input from 50% to 100%, and  i 
got that heavy sound i wanted. also there was another setting called 
drive, which was at 50%, i pulled that one up to 100% as well, which 
again boosted the signal.
Now things are getting fun, since i am finding the flexibility that i want.
I still didn't understand the channel parameter. how does that one work? 
it's just a slider, which goes from 0% to 100%. does that mean that 
there are only two channels in my AMP?
I like the aspect of guitar amp sims, If they give the flexibility to me 
as same as sighted people. till now, i only used guitar rig presets.
Thanks Alex
