About G3 technology

[Clive]

G3 definitely adds something great to the sound. Amp blocks take benefit from this, drive blocks too. I was wondering wether other block types can also take benefit from it. Maybe blocks where we can find drive parameters such as cab block (preamp)...

In addition: could Cliff tell us a sneak peek in "what's going on under the hood"? What is the difference between G3 and G2: different math models used, higher accuracy in approximation calculations, more elements became unilinear in amp model? Of course it is a secret, but I'm not asking for C++ algorithms.

I would love some more tech details as well, we've gotten some very handwavy hints about the difference in sound. Who knows how much Cliff's willing to disclose, though, especially with more and more competitors lurking these days.

Who knows how much..? I think we all do...


It'll be very little - and most probably, not any time soon

Ah, but as Cliff has shown over and over again… actions speak much, much louder than words.

I feel that Cliff gives us about as much info as he can without giving trade secrets away and I am more than cool with it. The fact he talks about it here and other places opening as he does is pretty incredible imho.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark with regards to possibly G2 and G3 algorithms... If I remember correctly this started right after the Tone Match block was introduced. I'm (blindly) guessing that there are tone match algorithms at multiple points in the amp block 'sections'. Or not...

I also have to add... On top of awesome Cliff Coding.

I believe he stated that G3 includes either the introduction of or the refinement of: screen grid behavior. Also, I believe he refined the plate characteristic as well.

Does it really matter what he did? It isn't marketing - he is continually perfecting his product.

There really is only one way to implement his design solution - and if you were truly curious how he's doing it then grab a copy of Burden & Faires 'Numerical Analysis' and the RCA Tube Manual and go to town (see you in 10yrs ).
