Funky Fried Chicken - ANALOGyAMP
Testing out ANALOGyAMP by @Rob_Jackson_Music. Sounding very good to me, and at that price it's a no-brainer for anyone wanting a Fender type tone. The included reverb and cabs are very usable but I thought it sounded better with another IR. There's also tremolo and doubling effect which are good, but I want to mess around with more. I kind of miss the skeuomorphisms of other sims but I understand it's not about the look, it's about the sound (and low cpu). I'm not sure it's going to replace my Nembrini Fenders, but it's close - more testing to be done.
Strandberg Classic -> ANALOGyAMP -> Delay3000 -> IR Loader (York Audio Twin cab) -> MagicVerb

FUNK AY! Thanks for the AMP demo. Was waiting for some sounds before I acquired yet another sim but it’s great! A guitar rig/learning question tho: why the delay before the cab and the reverb after? I’ve been routing it amp - cab - delay - reverb and maybe I’m doing it wrong?
Very cool @pbelgium - thanks for sharing! Bit of a glassy / Tweedy drive tone going on there.
Now of course, I'm extremely biassed here, but...
Would love to hear an A/B demo using AMP's built-in reverb and speaker. Be great to compare my approximations with a proper IR loader and more sophisticated reverb.
PS. @Squishy - I'm old (school) so would run the delay into AMP and use the built-in reverb and speaker. Might be of interest to note that a fair bit of the drive in AMP is applied to the reverb too, before it hits the tremolo, then finally the speaker filter. Basically, just as you would have with a real amp with no fx loop or post processing.
And of course, there is no wrong imho
Anyhoo... Nice playing!
Cheers, totally makes sense. When I first got into all this guitar amps/pedals/etc I obsessed over signal chain and routing, thinking I was doing something wrong. Took me months to learn, like you said, there is no “WRONG”. Just do what sounds best to you. Now I’m putting reverbs and modulations before my drives, not running the fuzz first 😮, and creating all kindsa racket haha
I can smell the cigarettes and the whisky in my imagination. I enjoyed this improv!
Coming from guard world it’s always such a strange concept putting effects after an amp.
@FizzyLizzy27 I get ya. I think it also depends on the effect flavour.
I'd run a tape echo, anolog delay or spring reverb pedal into the amp, but I'm probably not going plug an Eventide delay / reverb straight into a cranked Marshall.
I'd put that fancy digital stuff in an fx loop ideally, or after the amp if it's a virtual rig.
Playing live, room reverb is effectively after the amp, as are things like rotary speakers. In my amp, the built-in chorus/tremolo and spring reverb are after the amp circuit (but before the cab of course) as well. That's usually how it falls out in my mind when translating a live setup into an FX chain in-device.
Yeah some spatial effects I do use after an amp. Ambiente is a good example use case.
As others have mentioned, I put the delay between the amp and cab to get as close as I can to an amp’s fx loop. I’m also using a touch of ANALOGyAMP’s reverb here too - usually time/modulation effects work better right after the preamp. DDMF’s MagicVerb is my go to space - myself, guitar and amp are in the amazing sounding ‘beautiful smooth’ chamber, so it’s placed on the master output after the guitar, and everything else. Thanks for listening.
As mentioned above, MagicVerb is the space /chamber I’m in and I was also using the amp reverb (a little). Your reverb is good and it’s nice to have it on board - some sims don’t, e.g. Faceman.
I have the Fender Twin 2x12 and Bassman 4x10 IRs by York Audio. As they’re larger cabs they sound more full, less boxy than the 1x12 IRs. I might do an A/B, but I’m not sure it’s a fair comparison.
Thanks for listening and for the very good amp sim - been playing it more and it’s very good. Are you planning on making any others?
Makes sense, thank ya kindly 🤙
I got hints of Jimmy Page’s improvisation from The Song Remains the Same at some points. I like the vibe of this a lot - once in a while I’ll give something like this a go, but don’t think I hit it right as consistently as you do.
Thanks for listening, liking, commenting and following (following back). Not sure it would have sounded good if I drank some whisky.😵
Tasty. Couldn’t get much at the Colonel’s for the price of that app.
@AndyHoneybone - 😂
Thanks for listening @michael_m @AndyHoneybone - so true
