This release sees the addition of the fine work of
David Yeh at CCRMA
on the emulation of classic tube amplifier tone stack circuits (more
here: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~dtyeh/tonestack/ ).
Three new plugins are building on the tone stack: ToneStack and
ToneStackLT offer isolated implementations, while the new AmpVTS unit
combines a refined AmpV and a ToneStack circuit. I'm very grateful to
David for his brilliant contribution, and I'm quite positive that
those who actively use the CAPS Amps will share this sentiment.
Tim,
At first Congrats for your new CAPS release!
I have a couple of questions for you, namely:
Could you please elaborate a little more on the new amp model? i.e:
Is it based on real measured data as opposed to spice simulations?
If it's based on a spice simulation did you implement a simple valve
stage or a complete preamp made of multiple stages?
The power amp section (valves & OT) doesn't seem to be there anyway
AFAIK, but maybe you implemented it with a transfer function of your
real Fender amp that does from the input jack to the OT/speaker?
I am browsing the source code right now and can't easily figure out
which 12ax7 model you're finally happy with... there are multiple ones
in TwelveAX7.h
I am asking this as I'd like to experiment with it a little. I still
think there are issues that prevent obtaining more "M*rshally sounds"
or high gain sounds in general.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
-Giuseppe
