Re: Guitar Amp Modelers
I have been following this technology as it evolved over decades.
There is a place for it but there will always be subtle differences between a mimic and the real thing. I am not dismissing the technology just trying to frame it in a proper perspective.
My mixer design group used to share a common lab space with guitar amp design engineers so I got to see what and how amp design works on a daily basis for years.
As I have been trying to say, just modeling the electrical response of a guitar amp misses the acoustic mojo going on with speaker distortion, and room/space sound radiation patterns due to open back and/or side panels re-radiating sound. There are weird crosstalk vectors inside/between the high impedance circuit nodes that changes with front panel settings.
There is lots more going on, but TMI for this thread.
