i was not trying to harsh anyone's buzz here...

sorry.

this is how I hear things,
and that is totally subjective.

i've played with quite a few modelers, and some sims, and none of them to date, have worked for me.

but be aware that having pickups that are fairly wide ranging in their ability to create tone, can and will advance the more harsh aspects of digital modeling,
at least the way my ears have heard this.


if it were me, and i HAD to use modeling technology, i would simply create preset from scratch, that were dialed into the sounds of the PICKUPS, and not the other way around.
