AmpliTube dedicated setup (custom built "amp head")

[dacodo]

So I’m starting a project... basically i’m building a small dedicated speaker cab for my irig and AmpliTube.

I’m picking out my drivers and I got to wondering.... is AmpliTube expecting to be played through a guitar speaker that will have a noticeable peak around 1.5-3.5k? Or something with a flat response curve like studio monitors? (And it is boosting certain frequencies to try to compensate)

I know I’m over thinking this but I’m just curious....

Since AmpliTube is emulating the whole chain including the speaker cabinet, you would want to use a full range speaker. The sound is already imbued with coloration from the emulated gear including the speaker/cab so you would not want to further color the sound or limit the frequency range.

Thanks!!! That is what this thought progression had led me to as well.

No problem. Sounds like you were leaning that way from your post, glad you got there

Finished up my little project.... Went with the Celestion eight 15's .... maybe not quite as accurate as using a full range driver in this case but it means I can use my cab with regular guitar amps head as well (currently it's wired stereo, but with 30seconds i can swap it to a 16ohm series wired cab).

That is very cool dacodo.
