Any filter resonance or guitar distortion/overdrive is not a "vanilla condition", so you're absolutely wrong.
In fact, the extreme conditions is precisely the reason why normies even listen to music. Nobody would care for electric guitar if it wasn't overdriven.
- atoav 7mo agoI also happen to play electrical guitar distorted half my life. Distortion isn't as complicated to emulate as you make it out to be. In fact the hardest part about doing digital distortion is having the analog frontend and the ADC be good enough, since you will add hefty (digital) gains to the signals. Hoe do I know? I am working on a digital distortion pedal right now. If done right software emulation of guitar amplification chains is pretty good nowadays. Many touring musicians use Neural DSP Quad Cortex and Co nowadays. I happen to also like the simplicity and robustness of just a stupid analog amp, but those aren't as special as the gearsnobs make them out to be.
