Pffeew, lots of news from the NAMM...

Did anybody notice the latency of the AT2 Stomp I/O (foot controler)? 2ms... Kind of hard to believe!

Anyway, MW, I listened to your Carvin emulation (Carv D-R). On a positive side, it sounds very close to the original. The character is almost identical. Almost, because your sound seems to have lots of high frequencies that should not be here (to my ears). From ~6730 Hz to the end of the spectrum, your sim produces material that sounds harsh (like a high frequency booster was on). I put a low-pass filter to dampen these frequencies, and it sounded much better (or much closer)! What do you think?

On a negative side, I'm sure this is not the best sound you can get out of a Legacy. Yes, it can sound like this. It kind of reminds me when I was miking my amp a long time ago (with an old fostex tape recorder

), and some old Flex-able Vai stuff. The real amp, in your MP3, is dull and "lifeless". I'm sure the kind of mic and its placement has a lot to do with it. I understand why you want post a demo with no EQ, but would you care then to post one with EQ and some reverb, so we can really here how it sounds like? At its best?

I can't comment your Flux demo, please just take a look at its waveform... looks like you added 6db to the final mix and then bounced it.

It's really cool that you are doing side by side comparison of real amps and your sim. You're the only one doing it.

Keep up the good work!

Yes, it was worth mentionning that.

Rene, nice smooth lead tone.
Keep up the good work, give us this day our daily ear candy, lead us not into temptation of going NI/IK and deliver us the goods. Amen.

I love the way the distortion tapers smoothly with the decay in this demo. That's usually hard to do with the current crop of amp sims.

Reminiscent of Jeff Beck's sound

You're on to something very good, Midiworks! All the best to you!!

Thank you all, for the nice and/or helpfull words.

Yes, you are right.
I have a knob for that on the sim but forgot to use it...

Anyway, here again:

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

1st Real Carvin
2nd Sim

Okay folks, my tone wasn't good enough for me to hang out with you guys... so I did a bit of a nose job and a new haircut to my demo. And you'd better not make fun of it like last time or I'll tell my mum.

More seriously I hope it's better now. (not to say WAY better)
