Description

Carvin Legacy 3. Steve Vai signature amp. Rare occasion where I like a darker-voiced amp because this one sounds more balanced across the board. The cleans are pristine while also being warm on the lower frequencies, and the distortion tones are very smooth no matter how much gain you have. EQ tonestacks are interesting, too. Looks like a Baxandall-type mixed with a Fender-style mid control. ・Clean Channel. VERY clean, difficult to push into edge of breakup territory. Excellent as a pedal platform. ・Drive Channels. There are two of them but they are practically identical, just that the other one has a Gain switch for (obviously) more gain. Quite hairy, as per Steve Vai's own words. ・Preamp and poweramp sections are also provided separately. [LEGEND] ・FULL - Preamp + poweramp ・PRE - Preamp section ・PWR - Poweramp section ・CLN - Clean channel ・DR - Drive channels ・PR - Presence ・GBST - Gain boost [NOTES] ・All the models are captured with 8x oversampling and 64 iterations for the highest quality possible. ・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. === First ever NAM captures with Architecture 2. About time I hopped on the bandwagon. A2 has been a significant improvement from its predecessor. I enjoyed the results so much that I decided to make NAM captures of some of my own LiveSPICE schematic files, primarily for convenience and CPU usage - especially with my music "workstation" being an early 2011 13" MacBook Pro as a Linux machine. More to come... === LiveSPICE: https://livespice.org/ Original LiveSPICE .schx schematic file: https://github.com/MARKTHERENCE/LiveSPICE-MK-Circuits
