Hey. I Just wondered if someone knows how to make a nice sounding Guitar Amp sim, in SM? I have been working on this amp for some days, but i cant get it to work. I'm quit new at this, but i know some about the basics of amp modulation. But a tutorial would be really nice?

Or if anyone could help me out with the osm-file? http://www.upload-mp3.com/files/89593_jhigf/Amp1.osm

A good looking "On/off switch/module would also be very helpful 🙂

Thank you in advance 🙂

Nice looking GUI 🙂 well, now that you have the inside gains in an acceptable manner, the next move would be toward modeling the speaker imo. Can't really do impulses in SM, so you are left with using EQ and/or comb filtering to get what you are after.

You may want to take a look at your connections One of the amps has the level and input on the same connector 😉

Ok, making guitar distortion rite?

First PROCESSING DRY GUITAR SOUND -> By cutting the low freq and hi freq. so the sound of the dry guitar will be TIGHT enough to go to distortion... Cutting using LF and HF. And also using peaking EQ to boosting MID of guitar freq. First learn dry guitar sound with your FREQ ANALYZER like waves one...

It is the CLUE in GUITAR FREQ RANGE: 31.25 Hz - 62.5 Hz - 125 Hz - 250 Hz - 500 Hz - 1 KHz - 2 KHz - 4 KHz - 8 KHz - 16 KHz

U may use RBJ EQ FILTER

Second USING DISTORTION module: Go to SM MODULE and FIND DISTORTION module.

Note: Distortion module, overdrive module -> it can be said WAVESHAPING module... SO when googling you will find another WAVESHAPING again...

Use knob and TIMES module ( "X" math in mono ) SO the signal from cutting guitar freq will times number of your knob... For ex: ABC(input) x 10 (your knob value) = DISTORT SIGNAL... Experience with knob value...

Third LIMIT MONO SIGNAL MAX = 0.5 or 0.25 MIN = -0.5 or 0.25

or may try this one MAX = 0.25 MIN = -0.3

Fourth EQ SIGNAL or TONE SHAPING BASS = May try from 250 Hz to 125 Hz (LOWSHELF with -12 db to 12 db) MID = May try from 500 Hz to 2 KHz (PEAKING with -12 db to 12 db ) TREBLE = May try from 2 to 4 KHz (LOWSHELF with -12 db to 12 db)

Fifth POWER AMP U may use VALVE waveshaping in here. Try search in this forum, there is...

Use like DISTORTION one...

Sixth MASTER LEVEL Controlling your final signal so guitar sound not go to peak!

If u already BEST SUIT SETTING you will go OVERSAMPLING section... Try searching in this forum... 4X OVERSAMPLING is ENOUGH

THat is the best help from me!

G-Senz -> i need your help too. U may private mail me

Thanx, ronaldpassion!

DI CABINET SIMULATOR

(sorry i forget)

How to do that: its simple! I MEAN DI CABINET SIMULATOR (for ex) BEHRINGER ULTRA DI not Impulse Response Cabinet

LOW CUT 125 Hz with 3dB point HI CUT 4 KHz with 3dB point CUT (peaking EQ) 500 Hz with 6 to 12 dB (find the best) with 3dB or 6dB point

If you dont know what is 3dB point, find it with Mr.GOOGLE

Use CHRISTIAN BUDDE ANALYZER to analyze your plugin. Find it with MR.GOOGLE Best Regards, ronaldpassion!

THat is my suggestion

enjoy

The only complain in osm -> THE SIZE SO BIG and cpu hunggry

Best regards, ronaldpassion!
