As some have noticed, I'm still doing tips that are relevant to Sonar. "Friday's Tip of the Week 180112" at craiganderton.com describes how to use the QuadCurve EQ to "build" amp sim cabs that can improve on the stock ones included in amp sim software. You'll likely find this tip particularly helpful if you think that IR-based cabs can sound kind of "odd" sometimes.
 
There's also an audio example so you can judge the difference between a "stock" cab and one you can build yourself.
 

Combine with the tube PC module one can get a nice crunchy sound. Stack several modules (you'll need to wire track to a bus and maybe another bus) for some roar or singing lead.

Good point, I think the Tube distortion module is very much underrated. I like it better than almost all other saturation modules I've tried.

So do I. Despite having lots of 3rd party plugins I almost always use the ProChannel during the mixing process, and the Tube Saturation module is the first in the chain.

Same here!

You might want to consider reordering your tip page so that newest comes first rather than at the bottom. I've been visiting your site off and on looking for tips and didn't even realize until just now that you've been adding new tips!
 
The "camel hump" EQ for cabsim is a great tip and something I've used for years as a quick and dirty cabsim for an amp that I have with a pre-power amp line-out. Amazing how it often sounds so much better than other dedicated approaches. 

My amp "sim" is based on a Peavey Pedal Steel Guitar Amp, such as the Nashville 400 or Nashville 112.  The EQ in these amps includes a "Paramid" setup which is a parametric type with a frequency control and either cut or boost whatever frequency is selected.  Generally 800Hz and some cut is what is used for Pedal Steel Guitars. 
 
I haven't come up with a good speaker sim.  I recently tried the Digitech "CabDryVr" unit and didn't find anything useful in it for Pedal Steel.  I'm using an Eminence EPS-15C (15") speaker and a Carvin BX500 amp for live performances.

That's a good point, but the text and images are blocks, and there's no easy way (actually there may not be any way) to move all the blocks down at once to make room for more blocks at the top. This is GoDaddy's "Any Idiot Can Build a Web Site" builder so it's probably kind of limited. However, I did put a line at the top that advised people the new tips are at the bottom, and to scroll down...thanks for giving me the heads-up.

As do I.  man, I'm gonna miss SONAR!!
