Most important parts of an amp sound - jtkung - 05-09-2016

In guitar modeling, it is apparent that the 2 most important aspects to the tone are:
  1. Amp modeling, either using [A] component modeling coupled with circuit schematic and doing the circuit simulation (Fractal) or [2] distortion generator based on empirically derived parameters (Kemper)
  2. Impulse responses (IRs) of the guitar speaker cabinet
#1 gives the amp's characteristic while #2 is like a sophisticated EQ of sorts.  IRs can be found from a number of 3rd party providers, allowing users to mix and match amps with a variety of guitar speakers and cabinets.
