Where should I start?
Choose a clean recipe, set useful input headroom and enable stages one at a time. Pedal Level and Amp Master can drive following stages harder; compare actual listening levels.
Are the cabinets captured IRs?
No. This version uses ten original causal parameterized cabinet models and microphone responses. It has no user IR loader or commercial measured-capture claim.
Is Safety Clip a true-peak limiter?
No. It is explicit soft sample-peak clipping after Output. Leave headroom and check exported peaks; bypass returns aligned raw dry.
Does it include every amp and pedal?
No. It offers sixteen original pedal families, twelve original amp families and ten cabinet models. Names describe broad behaviours, not branded exact replicas.
