I never said you couldn't feel it, I am not making that kind of claim. You could very well feel it. And if so, you have the ability to counteract that 3ms just by taking one step towards your cab, and everything is good again.

The distance between you and your cab is usually a bigger factor for latency than a modern amp modeler. The ToneX pedal has a measured latency of about 3ms, which is the amount of time taken for sound to move 3 feet. If moving 3 feet away from your cab feels about the same, then it's not the...

I was so convinced that I had done something wrong in my testing, or mine was faulty. No way I could have been the first to notice, but I never did find any other mention. And I love Morningstar gear, everything else I've used has been wonder. Using the ML10X was wonderful too, if I was fooling...

Hey! Yeah, I saw pretty much the same frequency response with the ML10X as was shown above (starting to dip at 200hz, down -3db by 75hz, -5db by 50hz). I was running mine into my Quad Cortex at the time, and I never thought to try playing with the input impedance (since it's adjustable)...

I was using the Walrus Canvas reamper

C4 multiband compressor plugin, which is somewhat similar, but 4 parallel compressors with crossover filters between each one. I don't think it can be set to run actually as a parallel compressor like the Abasi, since it doesn't have separate filter ranges for each band, so minimal overlap...

Ah, you are right, so it is a bit more different.

It looks like it's very similar to the Cali76 Stacked Compressor (without Attack/Release controls for each stage, it looks like the Abasi is already tuned to a certain style) and adding a tilt EQ, but without a clean blend. I suspect the tilt EQ saves it here

Sent you a message! I still have your old Detective

For me, it’s the opposite. A simple clean blend can easily be added with a split, and I can always filter that clean channel and add effects, but that is usually to work around something lacking in the current blocks. I would prefer that each block took a more considered look at its clean blend...

They are both might be more complex than a single amp sim, especially the Bass Knob, since it advertises itself as a full pedalboard in a single knob.

I love when people say that software developers shouldn’t be able to sell their products. Makes me all warm and fuzzy. And poor. So very very poor. Anyhoo, can you believe my fridge is empty? You buy a device to keep food cold, but there is no food in it?! They better be filling that thing for...

New marketplace is exciting, and a great initial offering. The blocks by Cognate, Clack Digital, Nembrini, and Fine Classics are standouts to me, gotta prioritize which ones to buy first! @IvanBassist I know it's been asked in the past, but now that the marketplace is out: is there a resource...

The "Lo Retain" knob on the C4, set properly, will reduce the effect on lower notes. I have had some success setting this up when I used to use a C4. Find the point where the Lo Retain has little or no effect on the note that you want the transition to happen, and each note lower will have more...

Totally agree. I have never felt like I was fighting any of the amp models on the Anagram, while at times I have felt that way with the Quad Cortex and HX Stomp. Maybe that's due to the default settings of those blocks already having a generally good sound to them, instead of the common practice...
