Spring reverb does that too, and it just sounds damn nice (especially old school Fender spring reverb). Real room ambience helps alot in making a guitar track blend well with other tracks, rather than sounding like the guitar is separated from everything else - either too forward or buried with other tracks. Impulses just don't produce the same sort of focused and reactive sound as a real speaker/cab, which is really noticeable for dynamic playing (other than metal).Īnd demos of sims are typically slathered in digital reverb and delay to hide the lack of room ambience and spring reverb, which sounds blah to my ears.
And part of the ugliness of sims is playing through static impulse responses for the speaker side of things. At least one of the most famous sims uses heavy filtering to fight aliasing which has other consequences (lack of satisfying upper frequencies). and the distortion decays back to clean in an ugly way (not smooth sounding at all). For sounds that use a little breakup to crunchy (most guitar tones outside of metal), amp sims tend to sound thin, muddy, shrill, hard, hashy. Buckets of gain helps to hide the aliasing of digital distortion. Something you will notice with amp sims is that most of them (and demos of them) are focused around high gain.
BEST AMP EMULATOR MAC FULL
You get the full experience with the real deal. In those terms, playing through a sim is very much like playing through a sampled drum kit vs. And none of this says anything as far as the inspiration of playing one in comparison to real amps in a real room, which I think is a big deal.
And you don't get spring reverb (spring reverb sims really blow).
So overall, it has the general character of the profiled amps but comes across rather flat. But it doesn't quite have that reactive response in the lower frequencies as a nice amp/speaker has, and the upper frequencies sound too rolled off to me. There is nothing else in it's league that I have heard that successfully produces the general character of multiple real amps. As far as amp sims go, the end sound of a Kemper is king.
