You mention compression when talking about IRs but I don't think there is any compression in FIR filters. From what I know they behave linearly and they only alter the frequency content of the input signal.

The EQ processing from AnyAmpIR is kind of like a high resolution dynamic compression, that's why I mentioned compression. -- This is where I said wrong about the IR, in short IR is a complex EQ with phase modulation, the compression capture part is only burned into this complex EQ, working as a static linear eq eventually, hope people who read this comment can understand 😅 But anyway, this doesn't affect that a good IR will make the guitar sound great.

I don't usually comment on videos but congrats on doing these videos and these plugins. I come from a physics background and what you say makes absolute sense. Signature sounds from amps are just a combination of very simple modifications to the sound. I feel like the music world is just like the wine-tasting world. Lots of people will like a specific wine because of the price tag associated with it. Good wine is a wine you like. It doesn't have to be a $1000 bottle. Good sound is a sound you like. It doesn't have to be a $1000 plugin preset. I've been chasing plugins for years. Now I just use Ableton stock and nothing else. Any DAW is fine. Just make music.

Greetings from China 🎸

Amazing work and thank you very much for sharing this for free! I'll try to clarifying FIR/compression/distortion topic since I have a background in this: 1- FIR is linear, if you boost the input signal by a coefficient the output will be boosted by the same amount while keeping the ratios of output frequencies wrt. each other the same. 2- While FIR is captured from a real amp the compression/distortion characteristics are embedded into the FIR but only that that input level. 3- A simulation based solely on FIR will not act like a real amp in some ways. In this case, changes in the input volume would result a real amp to compress/distort the signal differently whereas this simulation will just output the same signal but at different amplitudes. A more clear example would be that if you boost an input signal (consisting of a single frequency and at the same level as the signal used to record the FIR) by a coefficient C, Input_Signal * C => AnyAmpIR => Output_AAIR it won't be the same signal as if you boosted the input on a real amp Input_Signal * C => Real_Amp => Output_RA_Premul != Output_AAIR However, it will be the same signal as if you boosted the output signal of the real amp by the same coefficient: Input_Signal => Real_Amp => Output_RA, Output_RA * C => Output_RA_Postmul == Output_AAIR Note that this part is key: (consisting of a single frequency and at the same level as the signal used to record the FIR) Because any real music you'll play on your guitar will have multiple frequencies at different levels, and since FIR is a linear system you can apply the principle of superposition which tells us that you will not get the "exact" output as the real amp because some components of your input signal are already getting "scaled" (or compressed if you will) as if they were at one level while the real amp would scale them differently as they're at a different level. Note that just because you don't get the "exact" output of a real amp doesn't mean that it's not going to sound great. Use your ears!

Such a breath of fresh air and wit! Congratulations and Hat tip for the incredible contribution to musicians and their art. Thanks Michael!

AASamplePlayer will get a big update soon, will change your workflow again, stay tuned~

Okay, to elaborate a bit more, I'll deal with the "Where does the Tone in an amp come from" thing first, and then the "Bad Monkey/Klon" thing The experiment with the amps used a pretty high quality "Tube like" Overdrive, and several of them, stacked with several EQs. The interaction with different frequencies being distorted at different stages is a big part of what creates the final sound - to recreate this in a DAW you'd have to stack a lot of different overdrives and EQs, and of course a cranked tube/like poweramp particularly and some drive pedals are going to add quite a bit of compression. When I talk about "Tube like" overdrives, this is kind of important. Getting into the second point, the Bad Monkey is actually a "Good" Overdrive pedal. It's based off the Tube Screamer circuit with expanded EQ, while not everyone is the biggest fan of the Tubescreamer(including myself to an extent - I prefer the Boss SD-1 variant, the TS is in of itself a variant of the OD-1) a lot of that is down to the tone stack, the circuit is actually pretty clever. Even "Non Tubescreamer" overdrives like the Klon still took a lot of influence from it, which is why there's a lot of overlap. Because people have a particular idea of what an "Overdrive pedal" sounds like, there is always going to be overlap there. Of course - the same psychology works in reverse here - a lot of these videos are setting up the expectation for you to focus on the similarities, as opposed to the differences that a lot of amp and pedal makers emphasise. When you sit down and play a lot of these amps, you are gonna notice the more subtle differences. Now the question is - do those subtle differences equate to *better* or worse? There's a similar case with the amps, in that VIntage Fender, Marshall and Vox amps preamp wise at least had a lot of overlap. Marshalls were essentially modded bassmans to begin with. The final speaker is going to be *huge* in shaping the sound - connecting a hifi speaker to a guitar preamp to most people is going to sound like shit, unless you're going for that industrial tone. Yes, it is just EQ, but it can be a balancing act - Guitar speakers are essentially "Lofi" in that they act as both hi and low pass filters(among other things), focusing the mids and generally making sure none of those really high highs get out - that's a big part of what differentiates guitar overdrive/distortion from the clipping we don't like in our DAWs. This is of course, a great place to use IRs since they can replicate these complex EQs, and the various different takes and compromises made by the speakers & cabinets to create it. Going back to the idea of distortion for guitar vs. generic clipping - in reality, no, there aren't as many *Good* overdrives and distortions as you might thing. Fancier ones tend to be pretty dynamic systems. To a degree, they figured out a lot of this with the Tubescreamer and other early-ish overdrives, but that was over 15 years of hectic technological research and evolution after the first solid state amps(1961 for the first SS guitar amp, 62 for the first fuzz pedal, vs 1977 for the Boss OD-1, the first "Tubescreamer") . That's not to say you still can't get cool sounds with regular clipping and some EQ/low pass filtering, afterall that's what synth guys often go in for - but more often than not they use guitar/bass distortions or emulations thereof. I use a lot of cheap gear, a lot of modelers, so I'm not a cork sniffer and that's not so much why I'm saying this - but a great example of where you can run into issues here is not with guitar, but with Bass. Some guitar distortions are very popular with Bass like the RAT and Russian Big Muff, but when it comes to Overdrive? The RAT and Big Muffs are "Fuzztortions" rather than fully amp-like distortions(though they were "amp like" by early 70s SS standards), you're not using them to replicate the sound of a cranked SVT. A lot of guitar pedals tend to cut off the lows in a way you don't necessarily notice with guitar unless you're playing in low tunings(generally, lower than C). This can help tame the mud a bit, as the roll off starts to happen just about where the lowest lows live and you're probably familiar with how further highpassing tends to be done to make room for the bass and other instruments. Running a Bass through a guitar distortion that DOESN'T cut lows might sound muddy too, is the problem. It's a cool sound in of itself, but if you want articulate BAss Overdrive, that tends to come from dedicated circuits. If you run a Bass into a Tubescreamer, it doesn't sound like a Bass anymore. In fact, if you run a Bass through a Dynacomp, it'll probably sound less Bassy. Unless it's a Bass dynacomp. Clean blends can help but utlimately it's still blending with a less bassy signal so you're losing low end. This is where we need to talk about dynamics & how guitar and bass gear respond differently - some compressors and distortions will work great for both Guitar and Bass, others less so. Some Bass amps are very cool for Guitar tones, others end up having weird nasally artifacts, or being paradoxically either too fizzy on the high end or too muffled(Since there's a lot more variety here - depending on whether you want vintagey very warm bass tones or modern crispy slap tones - this is why I have a modeller!). A lot of that of course is still just EQ - but with the compressor, there's additional problems we run into. Bass frequencies are BIG. We're not as sensitive to them as higher frequencies. It's why you can get a lot of insanely loud small 5W Tube Amps but a 15 Watt Bass amp will probably struggle to be heard in a quiet pub - unless you're just deciding not to put that power into the low lows. Bass Compressors are going to treat the low end differently - transparent compressors tend to not affect the EQ much at all, but even then you still have the issue of how bass frequencies "Look" bigger to the compressor. So Bass Compressors will sometimes respond differently to it - maybe boosting the bass afterwards a little to make up, or in higher end compressors, having a Hi-Pass filter in the compressor chain itself - not added to the signal, just what the compressor "sees". I know that seems like a tangent, but it's just an example of how the dynamic systems in guitar & bass gear can be hard to replicate. You can have some multiband weirdness going on. Then you get into Fuzz pedals and how they have unique artifacts that you're not going to replicate just by tweaking EQ on a guitar amp, you start getting into synth territory in some cases with wavefolding, rectification etc. because some of these fuzzes were created with circuit bending they can react in unpredictable ways. There's even things modelers can't really replicate without a dedicated circuit, like the way the Fuzz Face turns into a clangy overdrive when you roll the volume back - something to do with Impedence, I don't fully understand it! That's not to say simple basic gear can't be great especially with the tweaking in the DAW. Just that there is some value in unique, purpose built gear, and reasons why people have so many different distortion pedals and plugins and amps. Personally though, I value uniqueness over "quality" - it's just a shame that for the most part for unique sounds you do tend to have to pay a lot - it's usually boutique brands like Chase Bliss or Old Blood Noise(a bit more affordable) that are making "New" effects. I do think that for the most part, quality Solid State gear and modelling is the way to go. I'm transitioning from a guitarist to a bassist. Tube snobs, blues lawyers and the like piss me off. Look up some old live videos of T-Rex, Marc Bolan's solid state guitar tone is one of my favourite live tones. But even in that amp that's basicallly a giant fuzz pedal into a poweramp(Hendrix would approve!), there is a bit more going on there than just what an IR can recreate. But - I think this is a great plugin. Guitarists in recent years have gotten pretty heavily into IRs, and for bassists - who are less picky and more willing to experiment to a degree - this is especially great. It's ALSO great for Synth players - Sylvia Massey is a big fan of reamping synths through amps in a studio to give them more complexity and warmth, and a good IR can capture most of that. So basically I'd think about how you're marketing this. I get the need to Clickbait to get your stuff out there, but focus on the plugins strengths rather than claiming it's a do-it-all.

Your sense of humor and deadpan timing is comedy gold, thanks for such a good laugh well also being informative. I use mainly waves and auburn sounds plugins and at times it boggles my brain with the complexities tho i do love the results they could take your approach and be a whole lot easier. Deffinatly gunna give your ampsims a shot for sure after this.

Incredible work Michael!

this video is so high quality and helpful and cuts fat from all the useless vst stuff , thanks a lot :)

This is awesome. Also a good idea to throw an eq before the distortion, as that can change the nature of the distortion. Removing bass before distortion gives a tighter sound - better for very high gain.

16:06 is so darn important. As a vst user buying gear/ hardware here and there I always watch reviews and think "but doesn't 'X' plugin do this same thing???" For example lot of granular pedals (delay, reverb, etc.) can be perfectly; and I mean perfectly recreated within your DAW with free or really really inexpensive plugins that are great. Some really really pricey pedals etc can be replicated perfectly with stock plugins. And one really cool exercise I recommend people doing is going out of their way to try and replicate the gear, etc with their plugins/ what you already have. Along the way you may end up making something that you personally like more than 'X' shiny thing.

I literally JUST came to this video from Jim's video you referenced - it's providence!

I'm all for saving money, but the difference in tube amp distortion is in how the speaker/OT/tube impedance interacts to compress and distort the midrange more than the bass and treble. That has been emulated with SS components by a few designers, but is not commonly incorporated in distortion pedals. There's also the resonances, harmonic makeup and S-curve of various components to consider. FI, the S-curve of tubes is generally smoother than transistors, and tube types and brands vary in that respect. Beam tetrodes also generate weaker 3rd harmonic than Pentodes. Biasing also alters the odd to even harmonic make up, which can also be done with SS parts.

My opinion (just an opinion) is that’s what they may be talking about. The irony is that now, we can grab a Fractal modeler, and get a sound better than we could record that same amp. Will never replace that amp feeling though." -Pauly I guess this only applies to live performances, but maybe still needs to be mentioned in the context of this conversation?

While I share your sentiments, I do think tweaking a guitar tone is a bit more complicated than how you are presenting it. It is certainly nowhere near what the marketing would have us believe, and I highly appreciate you taking the time to make a free plugin! I also have lots of fun trying to emulate amplified guitar sounds using stock plugins, and its clear to me now that getting amazing tones just using a DAW is possible. What I have learned so far is that all the details like the tube, circuit design, pickups, etc. do make small amounts of difference (of varying amounts, of course), but given that a guitar signal chain has a lot of these small details, the effect of a single variable in the end result is very much diluted. More complicated a signal chain is, less difference a single parameter makes. However, these details and their effects, even though small, should be considered when someone is trying to achieve a particular sound, as they can add up or subtract from one another.

An Impulse Response can not replace an amp or an amp model. IR's aren't really for capturing amps. I've had this discussion before with a Helix Developer, and there is MAJOR limitations and drawbacks when using IR's for amps. This was a cool idea, but tbh this is bad information especially when you're saying Amp Sim plugins are just tricking you with different IR's. Amp Sim plugins are generally component modelling of the entire amplifier, with component tolerances, and non linearities. All the way through the input stage, preamp, effects loops, power amp, and output stage, every component is modelled. This is impossible with an IR. Using IR for amps would be like saying don't use Neve plugins, just use an IR of a Neve and it will work.. even though the transformers, saturation and eq isn't included... An Impulse Response can not replace an amp or an amp model. Even on "Clean" tones, guitar amps are still non linear, so notes that you play louder than others will have a difference in character, curve and harmonic content then the quieter ones. This is a big part of the "edge of break up" tones. This AnyAmpIR is basically just creating an Alternate DI box. It is capturing the EQ characteristics and time domain of a guitar amp chain but it will not react in any way like a guitar amp would. And it is only capturing the exact settings of the amp at the time the IR was taken. So.. Yes the EQ curve may be similar and the decay of the sound will be similar, but everything else is missing. I would call this "IRampDI" Don't stop using amp sims, there are lots of free options that will get you much more accurate amp like tones.

Voxengo also has a great free amp plugin ("Boogex") which will use little resources with near zero latency, and it's able to load IR's too, while still behaving like a proper amp.. Plus so many others, just google it. These are options to replace paid amp sims, AnyAmpIR is not. Unless you seriously value computer resources over your sound quality. And if that's the case then there's no hope.. An IR can't have changing dynamic behaviour, saturation or non linearity in a single impulse. Some companies like Acustica have developed their own software to use IR's in tandem with DSP so they can use 1000's of IR's together replicating the changing curve of certain gear at every different position of each knob. (ex: Tone Knob at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc) but you just can't use a single impulse to replace non linear gear. Even with 1000's of IR's they still need to use DSP to emulate the dynamic behaviour, saturation and non linearities of the unit they're emulating..

Dude that guitar is F'in EPIC.

you sir are a true minimalist

Got it. Awesome. One thing, though. I still need the 808 emulation before the input, you know... metalheads :)

Thanks for the video and the app! I just got it working with Ableton 11 on my MacBook Pro. Thanks!

Thanks so much Mike, I appreciate your awsome work, will contribute when some money comes in. Well I will try it now

You’re killing the game! Love from Salt Lake City
