Real-time Guitar Tube Amplifier Simulation Using an Approximation of Differential Equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital simulation of guitar tube amplifiers is still an opened topic. The efficient implementation of several parts of the guitar amplifier is presented in this paper. This implementation is based on the pre-computation of the solution of the nonlinear differential system and further approximation of the solution. It reduces the computational complexity while the accuracy is comparable with the numerical solution. The method is used for simulation of different parts of the guitar amplifier, namely a triode preamp stage, a phase splitter and a push-pull amplifier. Finally, the results and comparison with other methods are discussed.

A simple output transformer model is considered, with its parameters calculated from datasheets specifications. Then, ...
متن کاملWeb Audio Guitar Tube Amplifier vs Native Simulations
We propose to present a tube guitar amplifier simulation we’ve been designing using the Web Audio API with the aim to faithfully reproduce the main parts of the Marshall JCM 800 amplifier schematics. Each stage of the real amp has been recreated (preamp, tone stack, reverb, power amp and speaker simulation). We’ve also added an extra multiband EQ. This “classic rock” amp simulation we’ve been b...

متن کاملNonlinear Modeling of a Guitar Loudspeaker Cabinet
Distortion is a desirable effect for sound coloration in electric guitar amplifiers and effect processors. At high sound levels, particularly at low frequencies, the loudspeakers used in classic style cabinets are also a source of distortion. This paper presents a case study of measurements and digital modeling of a typical guitar loudspeaker as a real-time audio effect. It demonstrates the com...
