For the Amplifier Model, select Crunch, and try the following parameter values: Drive at 8.7, Bass, Middle, and Treble all at 5.0, Presence at 6.2, and Volume set to 5.0. For the fifth insert (leave the fourth empty), go to Distortion/AmpSimulator and click on the plug‑in's edit button.These settings are intended to get you started you may want to tweak them depending on your guitar, pickup, playing style, and so on.

As with the Compressor, set the output to a high level, again stopping short of distortion. For settings, try putting the Input at ‑0.0, Mix at 55, 0.0, Second at 100, and Third at 57.

Similarly, insert the Soft Clipper into the third insert slot and click on its Edit button.

Set the Output to a level that's as high as possible, but doesn't approach clipping. You'll probably need to adjust the Input (effectively the Threshold in this case) according to the level of signal coming into the plug‑in. A good starting point would be Input at 17 and Attack at 8.9, with Punch and Auto set to On. So for the second insert slot, choose Dynamics/Vintage Compressor, then click on the insert's Edit button to see the compressor's interface, and set up the parameter values as desired.

I like to insert a compressor after this, to add some sustain and even out the guitar's dynamics, for a more consistent distortion sound.

Click in the first insert field, and in the plug‑in list choose Other/Tuner to load an instance of it here.

Cubase includes a chromatic tuner, and the first slot is the best place for it, so that you can keep your axe in tune without bypassing other effects.

Next, click on the track's Edit button (e), which will open up the VST Audio Channel Settings window.

Go to Project/Add Track, and choose 'Audio' to create a single, stereo audio track.

Feel free to substitute your own choice of effects, but I've found this to be a good starting point.

With this in mind, here's how to create a virtual 'pedalboard' in Cubase. Many modern interfaces have an 'instrument input' which will do the job, but if not, you'll need to use a guitar‑friendly preamp, compressor, or similarly 'neutral' effect to feed a line input (or use a DI box). Even if an interface has a 'zero‑latency' monitoring feature, that won't do you any good, as it will simply route the input signal to the output, without going through Cubase or any of its plug‑ins, which kind of defeats the purpose… Preferably, you should also have an interface with a high‑impedance input (suitable for guitar and bass). Because you need to play 'through' Cubase in order to hear the effects, you'll need a low-latency system - which means a fast computer, and a good audio interface, with quality ASIO or Core Audio drivers. (I'll cover how to do this at the end of the article.)īefore I get started, one quick note of caution. Cubase can even make a fine host for live performance, should you decide to trade your rack of effects for a svelte laptop that patches directly into the PA system, as you can switch instantly between racks. When you have a setup that you like, you can easily save it as a track preset - or, better still, create multiple track presets for different types of sounds. So think of Cubase as 'virtualising' a pedalboard, then bringing it into the studio so that its output can go to studio rack processors. Furthermore, you can add some quality 'studio effects', like the new Reverence reverb, as send effects.

A VST audio channel in Cubase offers inserts for up to eight series effects, including an amp simulator, so you actually have more options than with many pedalboard setups. But you don't have to, because you can assemble some pretty amazing 'guitar racks' in Cubase: it's just that Cubase takes a more à la carte approach, where you need to draw on the existing effects as if they were stomp-boxes.

With Apple including their Guitar Amp Pro plug‑in in Logic, Sonar coming bundled with Native Instruments' Guitar Rig, and Ableton adding their new Overdrive plug‑in to Live, guitar‑slinging Cubase 5 users might initially feel a bit left out. No guitar effects in Cubase? Actually, there are more options than you can count.
