Very interesting New AMP sim out :

Here's a link:

This amp sounds very nice on the Audio Demo's.I like the dancing with Lions file particularly, has a nice Walter Becker type tone about it. I've downloaded the DEMO and will review when I get a real chance to check it out..

Or my personal fave...Robben Ford.  Sounds very good.  Dern it.

How right you are Keith, ol pal!  I've been trying to get that tone out of every amp sim I've got.  Got close but not THIS close.  Yowsa!!

Hi Mike,
 
I'd bet that convolution cab simulation is in large part responsible for that "static" quality you're describing. 
Convolution is great for nabbing an accurate "snapshot"... but it doesn't respond to dynamic changes.
Dynamic convolution could address this (at least to some degree), but Focusrite might have something to say about it. 
I'd like to see an accurate algorithmic speaker sim.

That would be great Jim.  And I guess I really have a fairly pedestrian ear after all as I hear plenty of pick dynamics in those examples.  But then, although I can "hang" pretty well, I've never considered myself a "real" guitarist.  It's like some folks with the new console emulators who don't really hear the difference but I (think I) can.  Many times I can't hear the difference my guitarist buddies are talking about.

I think the Closest thing to Algo-rhythmic or modeled Cab responses is from Vandal. They sounded good from the demo's if I re-call, I haven't found the nerve to update my Samplitude prg from pro 9 yet. But, just getting Vandal in the deal has almost made me do it.

We'll break out the hats and hooters when Zuma comes home...with his new amp sim.  I won't be far behind you, ol pal.

Rbh that is one sweet solo in Dancing with Lions.  That is the first time I have heard Jerry and he is just amazing. When it is that good does it matter if its an amp sim or not?

I'll be downloading the demo Thursday or Friday.  I'll keep ya posted.

That sounds great.
Fingers or software?

Walter is a wonderful player...in his own style.  He's really just a skillful noodler.  I do love his playing and tone tho!  Jon Herrington is the real monster.  Whoa!

How 'bout good old Stephen Stills? Never get's the credit he deserves but man I think he's an absolutely phenominal guitarist. Jerry Garcia too... when he wasn't nodding off and he was in the mood and feeling it, he could flat out leave you in the dust. I would say though m y favorite guitarist is David Gilmour. I just love his sense of space and ear for melody/harmony. And he has all those interesting little inflections, a killer vibrato... I don't know, just think his style is really unique and he allows the notes to just expand and finish in their own time... underrated slide player he is too.

I need to take exception to your quote Ol Pal " He's really just a skillful noodler. "  Though I can understand when you watch him live, I've seen him a number of times and he does look like he's just noodling. But, when you consider some of the masterful work he done in his career, and listen carefully to his compositional skill  " just a skillful noodler " doesn't quite cut it as a summation.
    To digress if I might : I've always sort of liked Picasso. Interesting noodler type Oh guy when you look on the surface. I picked up small book that gave a history of his works from early on. The goofiest thing I learned about him was that He was an absolute master painter in the classic style by time he was a late teen. His earliest works are absolutely amazing.

He too is one of those guys that are so skilled at their craft that they define a standard......and all the rest looks like play.

I dug Walter's solo album 11 Tracks of Whack. Particularly "Surf and/or Die", "Down In the Bottom" and "Book of Liars". Great stuff. If I'm not mistaken, I believe old Steely is touring or about to... pretty sure I saw date flash across my screen whilst surfing. Buffalo Springfield is supposed to reunite as well and tour this fall. I'll be catching a few of those shows for sure.

Holy...!

Thanks so much for this!!!

Impulse buy no. 1 this year! I've been playing around with this all day long and the "Duke" model is just what I've been looking for! I rarely want more than a gram or two of breakup on my guitar tracks, but that gram is very important to me and this is the first amp sim I've found that gets it remotely right!

I've spent my afternoon reopening old projects and replacing Guitar Rig and PodFarm/Gearbox instances with S-Gear and the results are astonishing!

It's left me GASsing for a Beyer M160, though...

Downloaded the demo last night.  Plan on working with it this weekend on a commercial project.  Looks great!
