Simulate tube rattles

[xxwright]

I either get used to combo amps due to loving their tone, or I use damper rings on them to reduce/minimize the rattle (often can not eliminate them entirely).
This evening, I was playing my Axe III, it somehow startled me that some small amount of tube rattle is missing, lol... We need this feature to make it realer!

Just shake your Axe while the notes are ringing out. Works every time 100% legit.

I wouldn’t want this feature personally.

there's a harmonics parameter in advanced that simulates internal tube interaction with the other nearby components, it smears the tone as you turn it up, or you can turn it off to clean it up. sounds like what happens when you take the metal preamp tube covers off of a roadster

Put some coins or metal washers in a small glass jar on top of speaker/s and crank it up LOL

Combo amps are murder on their tubes. Can't help ya. Plus, if you can hear the tubes rattle, you ain't loud enough.

While we're at it, can we add the smell of cooking tubes? Call it AITRS™: Amp In the Room Smell

So far no modeler has truly nailed that real AITRS™

I had a particular set of power tubes installed in my Orange Rocker 30 amp that would resonate when I hit the "D" on the high "E" string; it was such a nasty, objectionable sound that I'm scarred to this day. Even worse, you'd play notes around that "D" and you'd hear the 'effect' start to appear and get stronger when you went up/down to that "D". It was like I was being toyed with heh.

Yes indeed...tubes directly in the sound-field of the speakers, particularly power tubes, is about the worst environment for them for longevity and preventing microphonics, etc.

I love the smell of tubes in the morning.....

How about a HIGH REZ IR of a blown speaker while were at it, to bring back that nightmarish nostalgia? LOL!

 

[TSJMajesty]

An effect that simulates breaking a string, with a switch that you can activate to make the other strings all go out of tune?

I think I have that switch, and I believe it’s permanently on.

Heck, I'd settle for a Tube Amp scented candle.

When I asked for this all I got was snarky comments as well. +1 for mister jangle.

I am missing another real-life dirty feature. This one is not at the Amp Block, but at the Reverb Block: the burst of punching a combo with a spring reverb at full volume! Isn't that a beautiful explosion?

Not only beautiful, but tremendously helpful when you are arguing with other members of the band during a rehearsal

Regarding the OP wish, there is an easy workaround: ToneMatch the tube rattle, and use the IR in parallel with the signal. Add a subtle tremolo at high speed with a random short-tempo modifier, a bit-crusher, and a randomly modulated square wave synth

If we could also alter the weight of the Axe to mimic the amp sim we are using that would be awesome.

Also the cab too.
