a valve distortion clone?

[jens]

actually I use them all (depending on the application) - apart from the 'speaker'-box which just shows '...' - I never managed to change that...

[ddummer]

I did have a version that put meaning in that box
but as I said before I lost the release version in
a HD crash and the latest I got is the mono version that was 4 days earlier than the actual one and I did
quite some things during those 4 days....

Ohh well Isn´t amazing.. the plug I felt least for
is the one being mostly used...

I coouldn't live without it anymore! - I use it on drums (both real drums & synths), guitars, vocals etc.

[snooky]

what about the phasing problems then jens? your mixes are gonna sound awful in mono.

[ddummer]

Okeli!

I´ll do a new Gui and inject the Grease code into
a better working foundation (It was a while since I did the plug so it suffers from all kind of programming flaws...)

I never understood this whole phasing topic - perhaps I'm just not smart enough...

(but on the other hand I never found a good description anywhere...)

about the mono-compatibility-thing:

there's a simple mono-switch on my amp which I press from time to time - so can make sure that my mixes also sound good in mono...

I agree about what has been said about Grease Tube. It's just nice.
RubyTube (free as well) might still be worth a shot too.

(though the current version doesn't have any flaws for me...)

No the L and R are affected in the same way here. So there's no phasing problem. There are PHASE problems, however. But as Daniel pointed out that's what it is all about.

Other than what has already been mentioned:

Big Tick Nasty Shaper
Izotope Trash
Psp Vintage Warmer

ok...let's point:
I need a valve-distortion not an ampli simulation, and I'm gonna use it on synth leads or just to make some sounds that can be easily found (for example) in earlier prodigy productions.
I tried greasetube and i liked it a lot: it sounds really crisp but unfortunately it adds eq also, i need distortion only instead.
I tried voxengo tubeamp but I found it a bit weack and lacking in presence comparing to greasetube, even at extreme settings. Gonna try the others mentioned in this thread.

Almost forgot CamelPhat 3 is serious, you need to try that also.

Just tried it out myself, very impressed, great sound, great price.

I think that's part of the magic it does...

you can also try TubeLimit (also from the old TBT server) and Nonlinear2: http://www.uk-music.de/nonlin2en.html

(but both of them also change the frequency-spectrum depending on the settings...)

[fliffo]

yeah...tried camelphat3 really impressive and instantly gratifiing sound.
Nonlin2 is good too, I like the odd-even controls over harmonics.
Tubelimit is good to increase loudness but not for distortion pourposes imao
going on with tests

set the 'comp'-slider near zero, turn the 'sat'-slider up and try different filter-settings (click on the tiny curve-display)
