Decabinetizing fixed cab ampsims !

[Mutant]

Tools you will need:
A short white noise clip: white.wav
Any good parametric EQ: Electri-Q Posihfopit ED
Any good spectrum analyzer: Voxengo Span

Loop the white noise clip in your DAW.

Bypass your ampsim's preamp and poweramp (if it allows you to do that) or set it to its clean channel and 100% neutral EQ.

Place your parametric EQ after the ampsim.

Pan the unaffected signal 100% left and the ampsimmed signal 100% right.

Put the analyzer on the master channel and set it to show you both left and right channels.

Match volumes.

Match the ampsim signal spectrum as close to the white noise as possible (don't bother with extreme highs and lows).

Save a preset in your EQ.

My try with Simulanalog JCM900:

Works nice enough with Revalver mk2 cab sim.

Great infomation! Thank you. One question. In all the amp sims I use you have the option to turn the cabinet simulations off or mute them. Is it common for some to leave this feature out?

Edit: haha sorry. looks like I missed the boat on the simulanalog amp sim thread.

Just few of them:
Simulanalog, Dirthead and XmasTube
By coincidence these happen to be in my top 5 of free high gain ampsims.

I'm a little lost on how and why you would do this in revalver mkII

Your using impulses anyway and you get to chose them...Maybe I'm missing the point or I'm just an idiot but someone help me here:Smug:

I think you'll find he meant he used ReValver to use the impulses, instead of Pristine Space, or whatever, once he'd decabinetized the jcm900 amp sim.

Right !

ok makes sence......

Why white noise instead of pink noise?

 

[JBroll]

You can't bleach pink. Cleaning it is a bitch.

Why white noise instead of pink noise?

For the same reason why white noise is a prefered type of impulse when making an IR - equal power across all bands.

And because i prefer a straight line over a ramp.

Where did you find it???I can't find it!
MP3 demos sounds really good!

Let me see if it is available on ED2K...

Yes it is !

Thanks, just tried... it's the first demo version, the new one probably is not released yet... and it probably will not be free

Actually that one has been widely claimed as vaporware already. It has been in development forever now, and the author has several times promised that "it will be released in a few days."

Also I didn't find Xmastube to be that good at all, so my hopes for the hyped, mind-blowing, oh-so-high-gain amp sim have descented to the mud. But hey, we've got Revalver MKII!

With some good stompboxes and a proper EQ Xmastube can sound kinda close to Revalver 2.

Yeah, I heard some decent samples of Xmastube made by others, but personally I never managed to get it sound right. Now I can't even fiddle with anymore, since it magically stopped working with no apparent reason. Hangs whatever DAW I load it into.

And I thought pink noise is "flat"?

Thanks for clearing that up!

Can someone please upload xmastube to my server?


Thank you!
