Anyone else getting sick of GAS?

[CakeEater]

Nobody said that.

The point is, just because there are a million things to tweak doesn't mean you have to. If someone can't help themself from it, the
modeler is not the problem.

Maybe, maybe not. I had a way better time on some NAM DR and 5E3 models. Yes there’s less to tweak, but they also just sounded a lot better so there was no compulsion to.

Who said anything about loving modelers? FYI, some - but apparently not all - of us recognize that our amplification and signal processing gear are just tools to do a job and don't get emotionally involved with them.

Yeah, who would want to be emotionally involved in the tools that we use to create music that evokes emotions. Silly me.

You're making a whole lot of sense.

Mark V into a 4x12, loop/master volume circuit bypassed, channel masters at noon. It is an experience that transcends the emotional and brings you dangerously close to the sexual.

 

[FuzzyAce]

I hate you.

I forgot a cool smiley with my reaction

That's why I can't afford nice things!

Nobody even said it was a problem.

Really?

It sounds exactly like the modeller was the problem.

So the way I read it, even at low volumes (1-2) a Deluxe Reverb in the room sounds better than any modeler ever can via studio monitors and I should get it

I definitely would not agree with that statement.

 

[Orvillain]

Really?

You're so literalist.

A deluxe reverb in the room does a much better job of sounding like a deluxe reverb in the room than a modeler with studio monitors. It will be very loud in a home environment. And you will need pedals to get any overdrive.

Yeah but can a Deluxe 5150?? Yeah that's what I thought!

OR he was using the wrong IR.

Yup. I read words. And I believe you typed what is in your posts. Literally.

I'm gonna take issue with that. The DR sim in the Amplifire is one of the most realistic among several excellent sims in the box. The Alessandro I had for awhile was the actual physical amp that Marc Gallo had used as his reference in finalizing the model. The far field IR I shared ca. 2019 came from that cab and speaker (which Eminence makes OEM for Alessandro). I also have IRs from an original AB763 DR cab with its original Jensen 12. Although I much prefer the Jensen IR, the Amplifire DR sim with the Alessandro IR played through one of my monitors - or any suitably transparent speaker - is an incredibly good match for the physical amp/speaker. FYI, a critical piece of making a reference comparison is matching volumes. Whatever the volume you need for the amp to get a particular sound, you will need to play the modeler/monitor at the same volume. Once you've gotten a suitable match, you can (obviously) play the modeler at a lower or higher volume. It won't sound identical, but the difference is due to your hearing, not to any tonal shift in the equipment.

The first TGFest you two are getting thrown in a kiddie pool full of jello, pudding and pickle juice and neither of you are coming out until you love each other.
