How does the Mic eliminator work?

[Aaronharmon]

I have been discussing this feature with someone from the Bossarea pedal forums and would like specifics as to how it works.

His question is, why is mic elimination better than just putting a direct out on the amp itself.

Does mic elimination give you a specific advantage over a direct out?

Does it sound the same/as good as a mic in front of the speaker?

How does it work?

It's a network of components (filter) designed to emulate the EQ effects of an SM57 on a v30 or thereabouts.

It's providing cabinet emulation and therefore won't sound as sterile and flat as a straight preamp/line out.

I got very close to the sound of a mic'd cab without the guesswork...in fact I think the elim soundedbetter but I suck anyway...so YMMV!
