Guitar amp gain staging?

[11235813]

@d-healey my bad

[11235813]

@d-healey but seriously how

[d.healey]

@11235813 If I knew I would have already told you :)

[11235813]

@d-healey sorry. ignore the "guitar amp" part. how do i make distortion with the snex shaper in general

[d.healey]

@11235813 I refer you to my previous answer :)

[11235813]

@d-healey Ok, in that case @Casmat how do I distort it?

[Matt_SF]

@11235813 simply increase the input gain

[11235813]

@Matt_SF oh thx. also, how do i lower the output gain without un-distorting the sound?

[Matt_SF]

@11235813 simply put a gain node after the distortion and lower the output level

@11235813 amp sim huh? General DSP learning, loopback signal in non-linear algorithms, hysteresis, tube/diode simulation DSP, filters combined with non linear systems, convolution, tone stack sim, bias… and much more! Other simple functions like tanh or quadratic equations used alone will produce distortion, but they are far far from being called an amp sim.
Not even talking about real measures of existing hardware…
