Re: Guitar Amp Modelers




Played clean below clipping it is the 1:1 relationship we would expect.


As you approach clipping the tube waveform distorts differently than the solid state amplifier does and that changes the sonic character and apparent loudness.


The 5x ratio sounds like something a salesman might tell you while there is a subjectively louder sound from clipping a tube amp than a solid state amp.
