I recently acquired my first vintage amp -
a '63 Gibson GA-30 RVT in very good shape.
It's pretty versatile and doesn't sound quite like anything else
I've played. I'd be happy to donate some impulses, with various
mics / positions and amp settings, if somebody can tell me a good way
to do it. How do you generate the impulse? (I've tried simply creating
a sample with 1 frame at maximum followed by zeroes, but this seems
not to make it through the D/A conversion - it comes out as dead
silence.)
maybe widening the pulse will help. steve? i've yet to take one
myself, but if you come up with one you'll get an optimized plugin
for it for free if i can get it to converge (so you can tell me
whether you recognize the sound at all ;).
I also have some very odd impulses lying around
somewhere if
I can find them - made by popping balloons in and around
some 20' by 5' steel tanks that were in the basement of
a converted industrial building I used to live in.
i'd love to have one of those. if nothing else, they'll provide
excellent study material for our intrepid voyagers into the
sonic unknown.
