Speaker and Cabinet Modeling

Since guitar amps are often close-mic'd, and since many valued amps, such as Marshalls, are recorded with their backs off (thereby greatly reducing cabinet filtering), a reasonable first approximation to a guitar-amp acoustic filtering is simulation of a single speaker.
