Guitar speaker simulator, any good one?

[Bauman]

Just wondering anyone here have build a speaker simulator that really sounds good and worth doing... I'm putting togheter a 1U guitar toolbox and wanna include this.

now it is:

API buffered DI -> stomps (sansamp/tube screamer/bigmuff/rat) -> Neve out -> SPKR sim.

Hi,

After having messed around with a few (but no Palmers etc) I must admit ( :!: uncool words coming up :!: ) that I haven't heard a better one so far than in my $1 Beh. V-Amp2...

While it's not the real deal I decided to live with it and it's defin. good enough for throwing down ideas on tape/disk.
Hmm, that's not really doing it justice... it's really steps up from those tailored LPF-filters I tried before. And the first box that actually gave me the impression I was near an amp.
You can configure it in various ways: skip the amp-emul and/or speaker-emul.

Surpisingly the V-Amp Pro has for certain configs an analog filtering circuit... :roll:

When I want better ... I mic a real amp ! :wink:

Bye,

Peter

Yea, Pete, I feel this way about it...

Uhm... let me put it in a different way. I'm after some sim. that sounds good, where you can create some sounds. I'm not after mimic the cabinet+mic situation... it's just that sometimes I don't want that amp+mic sound or wanna complement that with a interesting direct sound.

Hmm, dunno.... how about a stereo 31-band graphic EQ with both channels cascaded ?

Or any other wild filtering setup... x-overs, parametrics.

Introducing x-overs can give you all kinds of // signalpaths with different processing and endless possibilities and you can sell your bed and have more room to put all that nice gear- & DIY-stuff there because you won't ever find time to sleep again and.. and... and... :wink: :grin: :shock: :roll: :!: :wink: :shock: :grin:
















Sorry

Pete,

Man, are you ok :?: :?:

Man, are you ok

It won't be hard to figure out that we have an IC-tape-out in a few days :wink: that always brings that special of state of mind...

complement that with a interesting direct sound.

Talking about filters: If you're into that kind of thing, an envelope controlled filter is nice to toy around with. It'd can be very subtle (like just blending in a bit of 'movement') to 'interesten-up the sound' to - you know it - full-on, but then we're more talking about an FX instead of colour.

yea! filters! accepting suggestions of circuits like this. Like analog synth filters right?

IC tapeout?! No, thanks!

How about this one?

I haven't tried any of these guys' stuff but they get rave reviews on Aron's Stompbox Forum.

I already have an H&K Tubeman which is why I'm not making one of these. The Tubeman has a speaker sim included.

thanks!

Hi Fabio,

Right, but as you know they come in many flavours. If you can find the element a Mutron-III clone will be interesting (but replacements exist - wasn't it just LDR+LED ?) And there are many others, like the Moog-style ladder filter or as simple as something OTA-based (CA3080, LM13700...).

IC tapeout?! No, thanks!

When's your next ? Let's hope your next one is many moons away. :thumb:
