Hink, you have missed my point completely and utterly. But that's OK, it's easily buried in this thread. To wit:

MW commented that it was the distortion sound of his pickups on the Twin emulator mp3, in response to CR's comment that a Twin shouldn't distort like that.

I was simply stating that this was impossible.

No more, no less.

I think you are basically right with passive pickups but active pickups - with a preamp like EMGs - can potentially be clipped. Bass players sometimes add a second 9 V battery to get 18V for the extra headroom.

The shape of attack transients varies from pickup to pickup too - any shaping involves some distortion of the source waveform (string) but the sort of voltage gate type clipping you get from an amp is not going to happen in a passive pickup.

Funny thing is that even acoustic instruments can produce waveforms that look clipped - the fundamental frequency on a trumpet or trombone (pedal tone) has all the excursions on one side clipped - you see something like a sine wave with the descending parts of the curve flattened off. When trumpet players play a pedal tone it doesn't sound pure either - it is not used for musical effects much more as a warmup exercise.

actually I realised that...but it beats another argument about how good/bad the mp3 is...

I don't know about you, but I ain't shelling out cash until I try it...end of story...

Though the concept of I'll make you an amp sim if you tell me what the amp sounds like is amusing as all hell...

Those are really strange posts
No Dushan,

I don't do that anymore.
I just wanted to bump the mp3 demo list. It's absolutely inevitable and extremely necessary to have it presented every few hours. While it was so rare during the now disappeared day I got a little overexcited and bumped it again so that it probably will be sufficient for the next few hours. I'll reconcider a bump of that list when we reach the next page or so. I decided to better make a stupidt joke than to write something overly serious AGAIN ...

Have fun, FRitz

Well, you really got me confused for a moment...

It was looking like Midiworks bump-ing the list, then your next post was like championrabbit one than there it was like another Midiworks post, and all that by you. But if that list is very important, well... What can I say.. Let's bump her again and again...

I mean, the list

First you can hear Dimitar playing

30 seconds each, so you can really compare.
EQ was set to zero.

This time with EQ and FX added in the same way, to both, real amp and sim.

and the Carvin clean channel,
without EQ, but bright on.
