Amp modeling?

[99mustang]

How does amp modeling work?

Might seem a silly question, but if you modelled one type of amp and play it through your own amp, won't the real amp colour the sound of the modelled amp?

John?

Basically yes, the amps own colour will apply. Amp modelling is for going into computers or PA if you actually want soundy likey. But the combination of model and amp colour has its own validity, I love the sound of the VT bass into a driven valve amp.

[The Dark Lord]

Yep. You gotta get yourself an amp that is designed to be neutral.

This is what you want.

Hmm, not wanting to buy one, just curious about how it works.

Quite happy with my PeaveyTKO115, which cost me all of £40

Thanks for the info.

John.

I think I'd go for a Mackie 350SRM http://www.nevadamusic.co.uk/live-sound-dj/speakers/mackie-srm350-v2-active-pa-loudspeaker-enclosure-195-watts?utm_source=google&utm_medium=GoogleShopping&utm_campaign=googlebase

I use a POD X3 LIVE straight to the desk at home, in the studio, and on stage. I rely on monitoring and would never think of using an amp and cab for sound generation. But I'd go for the Mackie if I wanted the equivalent of an amp and cab.
