Perhaps its just my skeptical nature, but I'm always suspicious when someone is that specific. 88ms? Really? You measured it? 88 for sure and not 90 or 82? Especially when they are apparently unaware of such basic steps like looking for troublesome plugins...

I think it is so strange some of the rarest boutique amps that few people have even heard of and other assorted oddball stuff that gets modeled. Hell, Overloud has a whole collection of models of converted film projector amps! But one of the most iconic amps in the world, used for years by one of the most influential guitarists of all time on some of the most influential recordings of all time is ignored.

I had a chance to play around with this some more until I got interrupted and I found out IK's Hiwatt cab model has Fanes. I dropped it in and got closer. Interestingly, replacing the Plexi model with the JMP one seemed to be closer still. You're right on the mark here as far as making it sound right but in the course of working on this and thinking about it I realized that what I really want to do here is not so much copy the exact sound of any particular record or get a certain guitarist's "tone." (I'm long since past that) as to see what I can get for myself out of the same amp.

I think saying "always* is inaccurate and unfair. It's probably only something like 99.99% of the time.

Especially with the popularity these days of low-watt tube amps and power attenuators. Lately, I have been really enjoying my real amps. Particularly now that after many years I finally bit the bullet, got my 1979 50 watt Marshall JMP Mark II Master Lead fixed and got a nice 1x12 cab and an attenuator. I can crank that sucker right up to the glorious tone heavens and be able to talk over it. I even have to turn it up via the attenuator if I want to record it.

Yeah, I've seen that video. That's an extremely informative and interesting scientific experiment but seems like an awful lot of trouble to go through as a practical matter. It is far easier to be able to just plug in, twist a couple knobs and go. If I had the space and disposable income, I would just get a Laney LA Studio and be done with it. https://www.laney.co.uk/amps/guitar/supergroup/la-studio

Absolutely. Sometimes "more complicated" is actually simpler....

People complain about not having the time to read "an 857,263 page manual" but reference material is not a novel to be read cover-to-cover. You just read the part that you need right now.

Warning: may contain somewhat coarse and impious language: You didn't say which finger.

I will only eat burgers made from vegetarian cows.

Absolutely.

From what I have found out, Laney used Goodmans, Fanes and Celestions in their cabinets. One thing about the Supergroup (and the Klipp) is that they were similar to a Marshall Super Lead or JTM 45 but not as bright with more emphasis on the lower rather than upper mids and they are a bit fuzzier sounding. There is also some kind of undertone or note ghosting that is really subtle going on when you have them cranked. I'm getting headed in the right direction in Amplitube with a Plexi with subtle use of a Rat and octaver out front but it is not quite there yet. @Peter - IK Multimedia are you listening?

Do any of y'all know if anyone makes an amp sim of the Laney Supergroup? I have looked everywhere I can think of and come up empty handed. Revalver has a TI100 and someone else has a TF300 but neither are really what I want.

Good project hygiene can save a lot of trouble later on.

TTS-1 is obsolete and no longer being developed. Best to move on.

Focusrite.

This is all covered in the documentation.

There has been much discussion

The plugin is not quite ready for prime time.

Recording direct via USB from these types of amps is nothing more than a wish and a prayer.

Well, there is this new, cutting-edge technology you could try called "practice...."

Just learn where the notes are instead of relying on crutches. Its really not that difficult.

Do you have scroll lock on?
