Simulator

A simulator recreates the sound or behaviour of real equipment, such as amplifiers, speaker cabinets, or microphones, without needing the actual gear. In guitar effects, simulators are used to mimic the tonal character of specific setups — for example, giving a direct signal the feel of a miked-up amp or adding the ambience of a room or cabinet. They’re ideal for recording, practice, or live performance when carrying bulky gear isn’t practical, providing realistic tone and flexibility through digital processing.
