rushbo Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 This looks like it's just for guitar at the moment. £989 + a Transmitter. https://www.smoothhound-innovations.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbandit599 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I've been in Chris's shed whilst he was working on this. Great to see it launch. I know very little about the inner workings of pedals (or anything electrical actually...) but it was really interesting to see how he was effectively mapping every component of a pedal circuit diagram using software. Hope it does well for him.🙂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Looks nice although no bass amp sims yet. Pricey but I wonder if the Helix and Kempers model volume related distortion that well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Looks interesting. Especially when it's developed a few more models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Component and signal path modelling is not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Component and signal path modelling is not new. I won't comment on any of the other excellent systems on the market other than to say we're definitely competing on tone. If it wasn't for the advances I made in high efficiency SPICE simulation (why I refer to it as virtual analogue) we wouldn't have a product.

For guitar use and for recording I went fully digital years ago - so I'm looking forward to hearing it. It would take a lot to pry me away from Helix, but you never know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothHoundChris Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I'm making progress on bass amps. An SVT blue line is coming together. It's a pretty complicated amp but the valves used are similar to those in guitar amps so from what I've seen so far it should sound fine. Also getting to grips with the Acoustic 360/361 circuits. I've simulated lots of bipolar effects pedals but this is the first solid state power amp I've done. Any comments about how these sound with over driven power amp would be gratefully received.
