Request for an SDD 3000 preamp sim (plugin)
Posted: 24 Mar 2013, 09:52
My request is about a KORG SDD-3000 preamp sim...
This is what those who love the EDGE (U2) guitar tones dream of. This preamp is supposed to be one of the keys to the EDGE's tones. It can boost the VOX AC 30 and make it crunch in a special way. It adds some special colour to the tone (more mids). Lots of people say that it's not possible to emulate the sound of the SDD 3000 with a Compressor, a Treble Booster and/or an Equalizer.
Here' s what one of them was writing on http://forum.u2guitartutorials.com : "I had a good try at emulating the SDD3000 pre-amp in my POD HD Bean. I was messing about with Treble Boosts, Compressors and EQ (as well as Amp EQ). I'm not saying it can't be done, but I realised that the SDD3K preamp is not just a boost - it is adding a distinct musical character all of it's own (at least that is what I hear). Noone I know of has been able to describe what the SDD3K is adding. If you could describe it, that would be your first step to emulation. In my mind's eye I see the SDD3K as adding a very specific and complex EQ - certain narrow band frequencies boosted, others notched, and a tiny amount of chorus like modulation, perhaps caused by some kind of interference/phasing from the boosted Frequencies. I'd like to run one through a spectrum analyser to see exactly what it is adding. Another project for later."
So I was wondering if someone here could make the dream come true.
I wrote the request on guitarampmodeling.com but had no answer from developpers (http://www.guitarampmodeling.com/viewto ... 51&t=19285)
