It's almost art. No need to speak Spanish. Please give it a go, it's not a joke but... you'll see

 

That's how a review must be done. "Besitos en el ojete." Genius.

 

AmpKnob is actually great sounding! However, I'm a bit disappointed that you can't load your own IRs, or even disable the built-in IR. It's probably the closest I've heard to a real Dual Rectifier. Mesa amps seems to, for some reason, be really difficult amps to emulate convincingly.

 

Sounds very good! However, as Arabian_jesus said, I would like an IR loader and some more options like LPF/HPF. I guess they will make a more sophisticated AmpKnob in the future. This is great for a start. I'm always on a lookout for interesting Amp sims. Thanks Xupito!

 

He paused on the band Type O Negative! one of my favorites, Brooklyn's finest!

Sounds very good.

 

It is indeed excellent sounding. With regard to it having an IR Loader option that kind of defeats the whole purpose of the design.

 

I agree, it actually sounds quite good. As for the lack of IR options, I guess it would be for another plugin of the same company.
This one clearly is all for simplicity.

Not the reason I posted the review anyways

Master final touch

Edited: pretty much what @notrace said about the IR options

And from the man himself...

How to mix professional sessions with a one knob amp

 

"el plujín suena de lujo"

Ineed it does synthesized lady, indeed it does.

 

There is a VERY nice discussion about Dual Rectifier(s) here :

And yes, there is something "special" in Rectos : a big part of the sound is in the POWER AMP section.

Witch is very strange, because most high gain amps get their main character from preamp, and power amp is only "generic" sound signature (EL84,6L6 ...) witch can be interchangeable with another power amp.

Not with Dual Rectos. If you use only preamp in another power amp section, it will sound totally different, especially on Modern channel.

Here is the main reason why :
"The zero negative feedback of Modern mod really does change things. It’s pretty unique vs say the SLO or 5150 even if the preamps are really close."

And here :
https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/64205/no-negative-feedback-circuits

The better way to understand is using Dual Recto power amp with another preamp

 

Its kinda like this. I like it a lot. Thanks for pointing it out. Too bad it's only WIN 10.

 

You're right. I heard in a good review that compared to, say the 5150 and other classic high-gain amps, the recto is one of the hardest to emulate. The technical reasons are in above my head but @PifPafPif seems to know about it.

On another state of affairs:

It's one of the Windows 10 included text to speech voices.

 

He left a really nice comment on the review giving it high props

 

It wouldn't need to have an IR loader, just an option for disabling the internal IR completely so that you can insert your own IR loader after it.

True. Neural DSP Fortin Cali can get really close to a Dual Recto tone when you set 'Thump' to the left(low) and 'Hair' to the right(also low) (thump being negative feedback for low freqs and hair being negative feedback for high freqs). It's one of the many reasons as to why I bought Fortin Cali directly after it was released

 

Did you test this? I tried to dl the demo but didn't receive a dl link...

Close - unless they made a typo or it has been changed in the plugin. From their homepage:

Hair Switch: 3-way switch for negative feedback control of high-frequency interaction between amplifier and speakers. Left: Medium; Center: Low; Right: High.

 

Nope. I took the Dev at his word.

P.S. I got an almost immediate download directly from the page without needing to go through an email.

I'll try it out to see if it works when we get home from our Wohnwagon at Lake Neuchâtel.

Rookie mistake.

On my way to the studio

 

I can meanwhile confirm that it's running on Win7.
