Just Pedal Ingredients.
Cab — A cab, short for cabinet, is the speaker enclosure that projects the sound from a guitar amplifier. Different cabs shape tone in unique ways depending on their size, construction, and speaker type. In the world of guitar effects and modellers, a cab sim (cabinet simulator) digitally reproduces the sound of various real-world speaker cabinets, letting players achieve authentic amp tones directly through headphones, recording interfaces, or PA systems without needing a physical cab.. IR — An IR pedal, short for Impulse Response pedal, recreates the sound of real speaker cabinets, microphones, and rooms by using digital snapshots of their acoustic characteristics. When you run your guitar or preamp signal through it, the IR file shapes the tone to sound as if it’s coming from a specific amp and cab setup. This makes IR pedals incredibly useful for direct recording, silent practice, or live gigs where you want consistent, studio-quality sound without miking an actual amp.
Modern IR pedals often allow you to load multiple impulse responses and switch between them instantly, letting you go from a tight 1×12 combo tone to a massive 4×12 stack in seconds. Some include EQ, reverb, and mic placement controls for further fine-tuning. For players using modelers, preamps, or amp-less rigs, an IR pedal is the final piece that makes your setup sound natural, dynamic, and ready for any stage or studio environment.. Pedal — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone.
These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste. And just like with food — once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all.
Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar..
