Don't make me fire up my Digitech GSP 21 Legend (bought new in 1994)...

Does it have to be guitar? If pure sine waves or synths are allowed, this is definitely do-able. :)

Nope. All these videos of A/B tests or modelers against modelers… people claiming one modeler sounds inferior to another because they hear aliasing…

Sure, the bedroom warrior may be able to hear it playing through their headphones, but a track band-passed in a mix? Let’s hear it!

Look to to higher gain tracks before Line 6 increased the oversampling compared to after with the HX platform for examples.

I call this "Mary Had a Little Alias," featuring Helix Native. (But you could do this with just about any plugin/modeler... )

Is that one of @norminal's "finished track" examples though?

Damn, that hurt my ears!

I mean, I could put some drums and bass behind it, and I think you'd still be able to hear where a robot takes over the "little lamb, little lamb, litBUZZBUZZ"

I edited the OP to specify “guitar.”

Honestly the highest compliment I could hope to receive

We don't deserve dogs, or the music made for dogs.

I’d be skeptical of someone saying they can hear aliasing in a mix. You’d need to run an aliasing test that separates it from the other audio before you can clearly distinguish it. That doesn’t mean it’s inaudible in a mix though. It contributes an unpleasant harshness to the sound and is an important factor in why some modelers sound better than others.

At what frequency?
