Hey Rob, thanks, interesting. Ok so you could make ADA rig Impulses then by pumping a sine wave through your rig (what frequency ?). It's a cool concept but I'm still an old school use a tube kind of guy. So had a listen, not a bad sound, a bit lifeless/clinical though ?? does that make sense (compare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIr9nZ4aJfo, I play all the frilly bits and 3rd guit solo, MP1 mixer Quadverb IPS33 smart shift B200 stereo cab mics desk to 2 track DAT), the first guit solo is overdub by bass player singer's mate (was a key board solo (better IMHO)), 2nd solo is a sans amp direct (his preference), squeeze box solo, go Anton, 3rd solo me... This was recorded live (and no rehearsal) (except the new first guit solo Barry got his mate to play over the keyboard solo..).
Zilthys posted a link to one of my songs (

Here's an idea, storing Impulses of your fav sounds/gear gives you a kind of backup for if/when they die.
I agree its pretty good sonically, I'd have to play with it and see how it tracked my energy (that I pump into the guitar), I think that is down side with this technology at the moment, yeah it sounds perfect etc but has less life. e.g. the thing I loved about the Mullard new sensor reissue tubes is how 3d they are, I change the presure on my left hand (so slightly) and it tracks it beautifully. Recommended BTW.
