Using a speaker/cam impulse with an amp
Using a speaker/cam impulse with an amp
Greg's thread got me thinking...
What's the easiest way to use one of these speaker/cab impulses with a normal amp? I'm assuming that you'd need some sort of load-box that you could take a signal from straight into your AI. You could then add the impulse in Reaverb.
Kind of like a Torpedo style system but without all the fancy cab emulation that 2Notes do.
Would the above work? And, if so what sort of kit would you need?

Re: Using a speaker/cam impulse with an amp
Yup, you'd use an attenuator/load box connected to the amp's speaker output. The DI from the loadbox would plug into your interface. A load box would be great because it would still involve your amp's power section. An amp's built-in direct out (if it has one) probably wouldn't be so good because it's 1) only the preamp, and 2) often already speaker-emulated.

Yeah, I already have your set of cab sims. I've tried using the FX send, which sounds OK, but obviously this skips the power amp, so its not that great. There's no point in using the emulated out as this already has a cab emulation but weirdly also seems to skip the power amp as you have to have the master on zero to recording using it in silence and it sounds pretty shit anyway.Greg_L wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2017 7:47 am Yup, you'd use an attenuator/load box connected to the amp's speaker output.

I have a line out on my Weber Mass attenuator that I've never ever used. Not once.JD01 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2017 7:51 am

I've had these cab impulses for years and years.
Maybe it's time I try them together and see what happens.

Try it, mate. Your neighbours might send you flowers.Greg_L wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2017 7:54 amI have a line out on my Weber Mass attenuator that I've never ever used. Not once.JD01 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2017 7:51 am

Re: Using a speaker/cam impulse with an amp
I've never tried it because I don't need it. Why simulate a Greenback cab when I've got one sitting here 3 feet away from me?
But I guess I should compare them. It would be easy enough. The files are very specific about what mic is used and where it's placed.

Re: Using a speaker/cam impulse with an amp
Yeah, a direct comparison would be very interesting. I'll be very impressed if they're anywhere near as good.

Hey, that was my topic. Do you actually think Greg would start a "sim" thread? I'm insulted.
Ok, I'm over it now. We can be friends again.

You can download the Two Notes Torpedo Wall of Sound and use it for a month free. It has a power amp sim that lets you select the tube type, as well as various mic and cab sims. http://www.two-notes.com/en/wall-of-sound-iii
Another toy that helped destroy the elder race of man..forget about your silly whim it doesn't fit the plan.

Thanks Ocnor, I'll look into this on the weekend.ocnor wrote: ↑Tue Apr 04, 2017 11:29 pmYou can download the Two Notes Torpedo Wall of Sound and use it for a month free.
