This feature simulates the sound of standard guitar cabinets, allowing you to achieve a natural, authentic tone even without connecting to a real speaker cabinet.
Main Functions of the Emulated Output
Headphone Connection
You can select between two cabinet emulation modes - 1x12 or 4x12, depending on your listening preference or playing style.
-
1x12 Mode: Produces a focused and detailed tone - ideal for clean playing, practice sessions, or direct recording.
-
4x12 Mode: Delivers a thicker, more powerful, and spacious sound - perfect for riffs and high-gain tones.
Both modes provide a natural and realistic cabinet-like experience through headphones.
Direct Recording
The Emulated Output lets you connect directly to a mixer, audio interface, or recording device, capturing the amplifier’s authentic tone without using a microphone.
-
Can function as a DI (Direct Input) for adding effects or post-production processing.
-
Perfect for home recording, livestreaming, or small performances requiring a clean, consistent, and low-noise signal.
Silent Practice
When you prefer to play quietly, simply set the amplifier to Standby Mode and use the Emulated Output for monitoring through headphones or for recording.
This feature is especially useful for late-night practice or noise-restricted environments.

Tube amplifiers like the Bugera G20 INFINIUM always require a load to operate safely.
