REQ: DiBiQuadro Audio PwrCabs N4 Library
DiBiQuadro PwrCabs is a collection of 10 N4/N4Player Acqua plugins for guitarists who need hyper-realistic cabinet responses for their amp simulators. Each PwrCab represents the sampling of a selected chain made of:
a power-amp section
a combination cabinet/speaker
a microphone
and a mic preamp
connected by hi-quality expensive short cables and recorded through mastering-grade converters from VERY loud volumes down to whispering levels.
PwrCabs are the perfect complement for SaturnLO and MercuryRec.
PwrCabs vs IRs
PwrCabs are NOT simple IRs. Similarly to Virgo, each PwrCab is made up of 10 harmonics x 30 levels = 300 different FIR impulses, giving you a dynamic, deep, “living” tone. It represents a completely different solution from the usual IIR based plugins and the most accurate existing reproduction of the final stages of a regular guitar recording chain.

BGNR EL34: 100W power-amp section of a 20th anniversary boutique American amplifier.
