Frequently Asked Questions
The ISF subtly alters the frequency response as you rotate it, affecting both highs and lows simultaneously, which can be more organic than just boosting or cutting specific bands.
The 'Dark' setting rolls off the high frequencies in the reverb, creating a warmer, more vintage-style ambiance, while 'Light' is brighter and more spacious.
The CabRig is surprisingly accurate, offering a good representation of various Blackstar speaker cabinets, but it's still a digital simulation and won't perfectly replicate the feel of a mic'd cab.
