apologies if this reaches you twice, it seems to have been 
swallowed by that big black hole in the center of the net.

it could do with a little more bite, yes. it's the neck pickup 
with the tone pot at the guitar closed slightly, that's the way 
i usually play the super 60. this way, it stress-tests our setup's
capability of generating higher-order harmonics during attack.

whatever it does, it helps. ;) probably because it adds more
distortion in the attack phase. so it may not do exactly what
is intended on the smaller scale, but what is intended to be 
modeled overall.

speaking for my selfish self, i'm just glad i don't have to
care about mic placement at all anymore.

i'll be happy to create more iir 'convolvers' or extend 
'unmatched' for more impulses though, as long as they can be 
made to converge.
