Cab Rig is Blackstar’s next-generation DSP speaker simulator
Cab Rig is our next-generation DSP speaker simulator that reproduces the sound and feel of a mic’d up guitar cab in incredible detail. Impulse Response (IR) based speaker simulators are a great snapshot of a setup but they have inherent latency and potential phase issues when mixing more than one together. Our new advanced algorithm simulates a speaker, cabinet, mic and room with incredible detail with effectively zero latency, no phase mismatch and with much more flexibility than a ‘snapshot’ IR.

With Cab Rig, you can select up to two cabs mic’d up with a variety of different microphones both on- and off-axis. You have full control over individual EQ and panning for these close mics, just as if they were two channels on a recording console. You also have the option to choose which style and size of room you want to place these cabs in with complete control over how much or little of this you blend in.

Cab Rig will be available on many of our new products in 2021, including a lite version of Cab Rig built in to every ID:CORE V3 giving you professional sounds even with our entry-level amps.

Cab Rig is accessed from our new Architect software which will be available for both PC and Mac. It has been developed from the ground up to be compatible with the latest and future operating systems, including Mac OS Catalina and Big Sur.
