REQ: CD Sound Master GTR-VTX For Nebula Pro
The GTR VTX Program Library for Nebula Pro is a long-awaited response to the need for realistic and comprehensive guitar amplification and speaker emulation in the digital domain. There are numerous, excellent guitar cabinet simulators, emulators, and impulse responses. But, with each technology comes certain limitations and audible strengths and weaknesses. "GTR VTX" has been created to fill in the gap that we believe exists. It is not designed to replace your favorite guitar processing software, and does not require abandoning your high end analog amping/re-amping signal chain for those who process in analog. Rather, it is created to generate an extremely realistic result that can coincide with multiple set-ups, and can be used to replace certain key elements, can be used in parallel, serially, and as an actual re-amping solution.
The "GTR VTX" is 'inspired by' the amazing Vox AD60 VTX combo amp, which uses a 60 watt output power section, a digital emulation section created from the design genius of the Korg ToneWorks process, combined with a completely analog vacuum tube process. The result is an unmistakably realistic representation of several different combo amps, from the speaker response to the preamp stages, eq's, and power output. The VTX actually changes signal processes to change from Class A to Class A/B, changes the load on the transformers, and other analog processes to mimic the response of different signal scenarios. The "X" in "VTX" stands for the high end NeoDog 12" speaker upgrade.[/center]
[center]I have personally worked with many guitar rigs over the years. I've recorded through Vox's, Marshall's, Fender Twins, and many others. I've recorded and mixed with everything from Line6 to a Roland VG88, both of which I love for different uses. The Vox AD60 VTX is nothing short of amazing in it's realism and range of subtle nuance and character. This VTX collection is a strong representation of its qualities up to a moderate level of smooth harmonic distortion warmth. It does not go into heavy crunch or drive, but rather provides the missing realism that other collections contain with the true tone and dynamic character of the wonderful combo amps involved, and the natural harmonics will make it much easier for you to dial in the most wonderful tones with your prefered software distortion.
