Tried the `59 SLP now with the MPT and "H"-Voicing which is half Mesa tube amp and half ssl or something like that - Morphosis will surely probably explain this better than me - it sounds for me a bit warmer und smoother....than just ssl.
Well played again Mr. Black Bitch
Because i think, that the different power amp voicings needs a bit more of explanation, here a extract from the
cabIR.eu
about_virtual-power-amp-voicings.pdf. There you`ll find also comparisons plot pics to support the explanations... ...
ABOUT VIRTUAL-POWER-AMP-VOICINGS
WHAT ARE VIRTUAL-AMP-VOICINGS?
Virtual-Amp-Voicings are re-configurations based on the output recording of the actual speaker loaded Tube-Amp. That said, Virtual-Amp-Voicings are not the result of simple EQ shapings. They are combinations of the `natural` EQ shaping in the frequency spectrum.
Additionally to the actual Tube-Amp voicing (`T`-voicing) this Cab-Pack consists of/contains an Idealized-FLAT-Amp (`I`-voicing) and four more virtual Amp voicings. The differences between these six Amp voicings (H, I, K, P, S, T) are visualized and described below:
I: Idealized-FLAT-Amp & T: Tube-Amp
I: Idealized-FLAT-Amp voicing. No coloration, 100% flat. Also/Popularly known as `MIC + DI` method. Technically it's the recommended variant for signal paths including an actual or modeled Tube-Power-Amp in the signal chain.
T: The actual Tube-Power-Amp variant. Some may know them as `MIC only` method, when capturing cabinet impulse responses with an Tube-Power-Amp. Recommended as a `starting point`, if no actual or modeled Tube-Power-Amp is in the signal chain. Some prefer `T`-influenced coloration in the IR anyway for extra scoop and `thump`.
H: Virtual Half Tube Amp voicing
H: Virtual Half Tube-Power-Amp voicing: In-between `I` & `T `. Reduced `T`-coloration, but not as colorless as the Idealized-FLAT-Amp (`I`).
K: Virtual Konvex Amp voicing
K: Virtual Konvex Amp voicing: `I`-shaped low-end, combined with the inversion of the scooped mid-/high-end bandwidth of the actual Tube-Power-Amp.
P: Virtual Push Amp voicing
P: Virtual Push Amp voicing: Represents a combination of the `T`-low-end and `I`-mid/high-end. If `thump` is missing in the `I`-variant, `P` could be the preferred choice.
S: Virtual Scoop Amp voicing
S: Virtual Scoop Amp: Vice versa from `P`: low-end is `I `, mid/high-end is a `T´-adoption. Tube-Power-Amp `scoop`, but without overwhelming low-end response.
