Oh yeah, definitely. I never said it was perfect, but it is becoming popular. I have a Johnson amp and I quite like it. I doesn't have near the characterstics as my old Laney did, which was all tube, but it is flexible.ABQShredHead said:It's very difficult to get enough processor power (bits) to replicate analog with digital technology. Analog technologies, tubes in particular, produce a wealth of harmonic information that requires a ton of processing power to replicate with digital technologies. If you took a measurement in the frequency domain of the output of a tube amplifier, you could see the complexities of the output signals (meaning myriad impulse functions at various frequencies). Each of these frequencies would require bits to map to in the digital world. Modelling has come a very long way, but it still hasn't completed even half the journey.
The last place I worked at with a vibration test set was in England. I've moved away from doing electronics altogether in the past 10 years. I'm totally into software these days.Weenur - think you can get back into your lab off hours for a quickie experiment? I'll be in Phx 3/28-3/29, though mostly for work. How's the weather, by the way? Last I heard, the Salt River would be great for a rafting trip.

Wouldn't we drown?Silent Song said:ROAD TRIP
Albuquerque I'm not so fond of. I grew up in Farmington/Aztec area. Belgium, on the other hand, is beautiful. All that beer... Of course, it's been years since I've been back to Abq. Last time I was there I was completely shocked by how much it had grown. Talk about urban sprawl. Wow!Albuquerque's been very wet this year as well. It's awesome. I lived in Belgium as a youngster and grew rather accustomed to the rain myself. Living in a desert isn't the ideal location, but it's good enough. At least there's nearly year-round soccer.

Phoenix is the same way. Growing like a weed with some pretty poor planning happening. I'm still wondering where the water for all the LA refugees is going to come from.ABQShredHead said:Still growing, in fact. The City Council's still full of a bunch of idiots though - growth should be happening much faster, but they have too many heads in too many asses (sometimes their own, sometimes the mayor's, sometimes other concillors, too many times voters representing the minority). What's new there though?
Three Rivers, eh? I haven't been. I'll make a point of looking it up next time I'm up visiting my mom.Farmington, huh? Talk about beer! Three Rivers Brewery is freakin' awesome. We built out a cell system in '03 up there and hit that place every lunch/dinner/whenever we could. That's good beer! Maybe not Belgium, but quality nonetheless.
