Description

[REUPLOAD + WITH CALIBRATION] Céline has been updated to v1.3.0 as of 10/29/2026 and it brought significant changes and improvements to its simulation engine. The biggest leap for this was with the op-amp and transistor models, as the clipping behavior is now preserved when trained and captured. As such, it's significant enough to warrant the reupload. Also, as you can infer from the title, all future uploads will be calibrated from now on. ・Send Level is +12 dBu, as it is the expected value for the TONE3000 plugin. ・Return Levels  。Channel A: +15 dBu  。Channel B: +16.3 dBu  。Channel B [Bright ON]: +11.5 dBu --- [IMPORTANT] ・These are new captures that use Céline, a new SPICE-based realtime circuit simulator. ・This upload supersedes both the uncalibrated upload and the old one that were made with LiveSPICE, but they will remain available for posterity. --- Ampeg VH-140C. A legend in the old school death metal scene. Higher ESR ratios than I expected, but at least the asymmetrical diode clipping is captured. ・Channel A - overdrive to high gain distortion. ・Channel B w/ Bright switch - very clean to low gain. [LEGEND] ・ChA - Channel A ・ChB - Channel B ・BR - Bright [NOTES] ・All the models are captured with 16x oversampling for the highest quality possible. ・All the controls are flat so you can hear the amp as it is with neutral settings. I may add additional captures with "ideal" settings, but that's not a priority for now.. ・Should you wish to push more gain into the captures, use a separate gain utility/plugin and a clipper/waveshaper/limiter with a ceiling of -0.1dB or less before your NAM loader to prevent nuking the models if the input signal gets too hot. === Céline: https://celine-audio.github.io/CelineWebsite/ Céline .celsch schematic files: https://github.com/MARKTHERENCE/Celine-emy-Circuits === There has been some interest for me to have an option for people who'd like to donate for my work, so here's my PayPal link *only* if you feel generous: https://paypal.me/83ennui Making these captures take a lot of time, from researching the schematic diagrams (whether original or reproduced with certain degrees of verification), to cross-referencing from various gear presentations and demos, and several passes of training the captures to determine the adjustments needed with the Celine models/components for the most accurate/ideal simulation possible.
