aronb,

SynthMaker site has been down (off-line) off and on in recent history, however, it has been down for several days in a row now, possibly removed permanently which is too bad because there was lots of good info and modules there.

It has been difficult to get direct help from people who actually create amp sims since they typically don't want to give up any programming or approach secrets. I spent a lot of time reading every thing I could about real guitar amps and cabinets on the internet and other sources to try and understand how they function to be able to try and model an amp. My project is just standard modules and some user created modules found on the forums. I also had a lot of help from people such as Trogluddite, Billv, and others here on the forums.

A good place to start on a guitar amp is to look at ways of creating distortion (waveshaper, gain, tangent functions, etc.). Then look at adding harmonics (odd, even). I found I needed a cab sim to tone down the higher frequencies generated by the amp.

Hope this helps some.

I will once I figure out what I'm doing. So far I created a cool metal distortion pedal vst.

There are other links if you search for distortion, guitar amp sim, etc. I didn't have anything better to do this Sunday, so I spent time listing the links here in case anyone else was interested. The Bold line is the topic and the link for that topic is below it.

@jesterstudios - unfortunately the SynthMaker forums no longer exist. So all my guitar amp stuff links pointing to that website no longer work. However, if you search this forum, you will find people have archived the Synthmaker forum, modules, schematics, and materials that can be downloaded and searched. Good luck with your project.
