Ah! I was thinking of another DAW! Sorry about that.
Holy tonal revival Batman!
I finally started downloading some of the shared models on my Dwarf and I cannot believe how good it sounds. Idk what kind of voodoo magic is going into this but I hope it never stops.
My latest addictionā¦downloading and trying out whatever the community is uploading.

Iāll let you know as I go. I grabbed a Princeton plug-in off of one of the uploaded packs that I absolutely love. Iām using cleaner amps with pedals as my tonal style sits somewhere between Cory Wong and The Edge. The AIDA is a game changer.

Agreed!
Now that I experimented with high gain models, Iām trying to see how I can create my own clean/edge of breakup models, based on the blend of clean amps and some Eqāing. it is cool that I can create this sound in an asynchronous fashion in my daw and then transport it in an ultra portable fashion to my Dwarfā¦or other projects in other DAWs!

This is interesting! Iām thinking to experiment with my Fender Blues DeLuxe over the weekend or early next week with two different (condenser and dynamic) mics with variable placement and distances from the cone.

Iām just thinking, if I feed the training model a capture of a preamp output (hence no power amp/cabinet) as an input, and a caprture of the same preamp, only this time with a power amp + a cabinet, as a target, will the model then be just the model of [a power amp + a cabinet], so that in the Dwarf signal chain it would be possible to recreate a proper ā4-cableā scenario using two instances of AIDA, first emulating the pre-amp, and the second - [the power amp + the cabinet], with some effects before the pre-amp, and some - in between the pre and power amps?

My guess is that you should acquire separately the preamp output and the [preamp + cabinet] output with an unprocessed input.

That way, as far as I undrstand, I will get separate models for [pre] and [pre+cab], which is not exactly what Iām tryinna achieve.
The goal si to have [pre] - some effects in-between - [cab].
So what I do is:
(A) send a clean singal through the preamp to get the target.wav of a preamp, then feed the model with a clean original input.wav and the captured preamp target.wav, resulting in a model of the preamp;
(B) run the same clean signal (the original input.wav) through the full stack to get the target.wav of a full stack. Then I feed the preamp signal - captured in (A) above! - as an input.wav and the full stack tone as a target.wav, thus telling the neuro model to filter out preamp signal out of the total tone of the stack, so what remains is a power amp + cabinet signal. Profit!
I donāt think I can achieve the same just capturing the clean signal run through the power amp input, 'cos the input levels of the clean signal and the preamp out will b hard to match on the power ampās input.
In an ideal world āfiltering outā preamp signal out of the total tone should be the same as providing clean input to the final stage. And having a clean model of the final stage could be more easily reusable with different first stage models
I think it could be interesting to compare the results of both approaches
@falkTX So I have a quick question. On the amp model portion of the AIDA-X interface will we get the ability to assign menu selection to a knob? I would love to be able to swap amps from my dwarf without needing to use the tablet or computer.

It is a known limitation we want to overcome for sure, it is a bit technical trying to explain the reasons why it is not there yet, but it is near the top of things for us to do.

It is meanwhile more than 100 neural modellings! This is already a great success. Congrats!
I am personally not interested if a sound is nearby the original, to be honest. It must sound cool, thatās all for my personal point of view. And I use lots of them but one is my favourite: small box dyna std.json, made by @Teuvosick. I use this more often as compared to the other. It is a distorted sound, but still transparent and open. I really like it.
I would be interested in the favourite modellings of others. Which one do you like the most?

Iām glad itās being worked on. Iām getting to show case these new tones at some big gigs soon and Iām so excited. I love walking in with my strat and my little Mod Dwarf and watching sound guys and other musicians look down at me through their nose. Then sound check starts and they run over trying to figure out where Iām hiding my expensive 28 unit pedal board and amp.

I have something funny about this.
Historically, I never cared about Orange Amps. For me it was just a hyped brand, not sure why.
But the other week some of our guys went to a studio here in Berlin and captured a couple of real amps, including an Orange Rockerverb.
Iāve gotta tell that my favorite model so far is the ānastyā setting of this amp. What a great sound

I think that you like this capture because I made it using the envelope filter of AxeFxIII on gain control so the result is more dynamic of other ānormalā captures.
Unfortunately we canāt apply this on phisical heads.
If you tell me the settings used for that capture I can try to reproduce it with envelope filter to have a result more dynamic and maybe compare phisical amp and his simulation.
ā¦ or if you want other model captures with tis setting let me know

My wishlist for amp captures. If I had the gear Iād do it myself.

Hi =)
Can this be used like an auto-sampler/ multi-sampler for the platform? For example making the input an oscillator (sine, saw, square) or maybe the sound of the āfluid guitarsā plugin and the ouptput the sound of any instrument?
So I can play with my guitar or with midi (controlling fluid guitar plugin)
