Given the instructions with regard to the unit's "learning procedure", I would, though if you have a better explanation, I'd be interested to hear it. Either way, playing an ascending chromatic scale consisting of 6 notes per string via EQ matching doesn't produce the same effect.
The proof is in the pudding. As mentioned in my reply above, playing an ascending chromatic scale consisting of 6 notes per string via EQ matching doesn't produce the same effect, regardless of what the averaging time is set to. If you disagree, then please post samples of a series of different chords played up and down the neck using the reference guitar and the same series of differing chords played via EQ matching. In my testing, the match is accurate within a very limited range. Moreover, my comments are only applicable to EQ matching at the input stage.
I can only speculate. In my opinion, the unit does use EQ matching, but they've figured out how to match the spectrum of individual strings. Given they have a proprietary patent on the technology, it's all conjecture.
Formants maybe? There's definitely differences in the timbre of a note played in two different places on a guitar even if the absolute pitch is the same.
In my opinion, it seems related to pitch in some fashion, hence the protocol for the "learning procedure"(ie. playing 6 notes per string). How it works exactly, I don't know, but it's not simply and exclusively EQ matching, even though I think the tech involves EQ matching. If it were, it would be easy enough to reproduce the effect with Tone Match/EQ matching software.
If so, please post a before and after sample of different notes played up and down the neck.
I did post a sample on post #20.
The sample includes background music, which isn't conducive to critical listening. Moreover, I'd like to hear actual chords played up and down the neck.
This is a collection of various direct samples from the defunct Guitar Pickup Vault.
I've had no better luck playing the first 6 notes of the chromatic scale for each string as I have playing random notes/chords up and down the neck.
From what I understand, the first clip in the sample you posted (post #20) is the Schecter, the 2nd clip is the Strat, and the 3rd clip is a Tone Match of the Strat using the Schecter, correct?
Okay, so I'm under the impression that the 3rd clip is supposed to be a match of the Strat in the 2nd clip; however, I'm not hearing a big difference between the 1st clip (Schecter) and the 3rd clip (Schecter), unless you were trying to Tone Match the Strat to the Schecter.
