I think that you can get lower latency and better sounding models with convolution. It's also quite fun to build your own impulse response library from things around your home, emulating the properties of your kitchen sink for example.
- oriolid 6y agoConvolution is linear, tube amps have many levels of nonlinear behavior.
- qmmmur 6y agoWhether or not it is nonlinear is another question. I'm saying that amp emulation using convolution is cheaper computationally, usually a lot more approachable and way more configurable. Ultimately people use this to make sound, so I'm commenting on the sound qualities that convolution affords which to me are good enough considering you've already gone digital to model something analog anyway.
- oriolid 6y agoThe thing is, convolution based guitar amp simulation is not going to sound like guitar amp, because convolution can't model the nonlinearity. You might get otherwise interesting sounds, but not what is usually considered the electric guitar sound.
