DESCRIPTION

After some tweaking in Reaktor, I made this guitar amp simulation because I was frustrated with the usual fare of digital amp simulations.

This is the improved version of the tt-amp. The noise gate has been improved, the tube stages have been slightly changed, compressor effects have been added, and there are several new snaps.

A few words on the design: the Tone Controls are located in front of the distortion generating modules, so they shape the character of the distortion. For post-distortion sound-shaping use the 5-band graphic EQ and the various filters in the Cab Sim section.

Also, read the readme file in the zip if you want to endure more of my rambling on the structure of this ensemble. Otherwise, almost all controls are tooltipped for help.

There are over 25 snaps to get you started. Watch how you stage the gain on the four "tube" stages, it's important for the sound.

Sorry that the GUI ain't prettier, but I'm not much of a GUI designer. Feel free to reskin this if you want :)

cheers

Tammo

Wow! This sounds lovely! It's also great for tweaking the separate tube stages.

Do you know what, this is the best of the best amp simulators in my opinion. Used in combination with a another cab simulator, I get awesome tones with a bit of tweaking, Hendrix like clean and dirty, with my telecaster it covers all bases. Outstanding. You really should be selling this, my friend !

Finally, a Mesa MARK inspired sim! I don't know why NI guitarrig doesn't have one yet! Instant Dream theater or Metallica Black Album...

Sounds really good! Better than alot of amp sims. Really High Gain preset with a little tweaking and some reverb-Outstanding.

This is of great help on the project I am doing right now. The guitarist is a real hardware snob and he is really happy with this effect. Thank you very much for this!

100% wicked! studio quality, metallica style mesa-boogie amp tones are achievable -i won't be needing my 160watt peavey head, 7-band EQ & 15" bass cabinet anymore.

Dude I'm a guitarist and this thing rips. Great for metal and rockand its awesome for ripping solos as well. Its got lots of possiblities. Smooth creamy tones, crunchy tone and Balls out tone. I used for countless demos. Put it this way I don't think I'll be buying guitar rig for a little while longer. Thank You.

A great sounding amp sim. It's ballsy and bright and creamy.

This is amazing! I'm very excited about guitar rig, but this is paid for. Thanks so much. Really sounds great! Throw in an instance of Spring Tank and you're good to go. :)

Hallo Tammo, ich bin total begeistert von Deinem tt-amp! Dagegen klingt Baan Electrique doch ein wenig dünn, und der war schon nicht schlecht. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Ensemble!

That's a nice job. Not enough of these around. I hope Guitar Rig will inspire Reaktor ensemble makers to take a stab at more stuff like this. Thanks man!
