thought of as stomp boxes (pedals). When an effect is
used after a poweramp it can be thought of as a mixer-
room effect.
Poweramps
A poweramp must be placed after a preamp. A poweramp
does not have any user adjustable parameters. It is a slave
amplifier. To drive a stronger or weaker signal to a pow-
eramp you must use the “output level” parameter on the
preamp. (You can also use a trim pot, it has the same
function.)
Speakers and room simulation
A speaker (if used) must be placed directly after a power-
amp, and the room simulator (if used) directly after the
speakers. To make a parallel to the real world, what hap-
pens after a poweramp? You have two choices; either you
use some sort of “power soak” so you can connect the
power output directly to the mixer, or more commonly
connect a pair of speakers and use a microphone. In
ReValver you cannot have any effects (other than the trim
pot and filters) directly following a poweramp. To use
effects you must first “mike up” the speakers (speaker
simulation). If you want you can apply the room simula-
tion as well.
