Added preamp simulation to Cabinet block. The simulations recreate the sound of overdriven channel strips, preamps, tapes, etc. The Drive parameter controls the gain of the simulation. The Sat parameter controls the ratio of even/odd harmonics. The Preamp Mode parameter (on Page 2) allows selecting between Economy and High Quality modes. In High Quality mode oversampling is employed to prevent aliasing but this results in higher CPU usage.
Sorry if you answered this before, but if IRs already have preamp/channel saturation baked into them, would engaging this be redundant? Or is this the modeling of nonlinear characteristics of overdriven Pres?
Also would this be applied 'before' the IR or 'after'?
You cannot bake saturation/distortion (nonlinear) into an IR. So, no not redundant. This is after the IR. Think of the signal flow cab-mic-mic pre-console.
Maybe.
I'm tired of chasing the past. It's time to create the present and the future. Everyone is hung up on recreating rather than creating. Chasing 30-year old tones. Meh.
You've got the biggest box of tools ever created for the guitarist. Every color and brush imaginable. Forget paint-by-numbers. Create your own masterpiece.
Therefore I'm not going to tell you what they are based on. Many people here need to start using their ears more and their eyes less.
Still figuring it out but it's pretty cool so far for a "hard" clean.
Also, add drive and saturation judiciously.
Maybe.

Wow, where did all that jizz come from suddenly?Added VU meters to Utility menu. The meters show the relative loudness of the channels
