This will get lost in the pile, but I've done some tests with a dumb-as-a-brick neuralnet, 5 layers of 128 nodes, reLU, and the thing shows INCREDIBLE quality.

This will get lost in the pile, but I've done some tests with a dumb-as-a-brick neuralnet, 5 layers of 128 nodes, reLU, and the thing shows INCREDIBLE quality. I build VST plugins as a hobby, and have done several amp and guitar effects plugins. I also build and design tube amps.

I was on my way to making a little startup company around the idea when covid hit and priorities radically changed
