To me, one of the Holy Grails of guitar sounds is at the beginning of Megadeth’s Almost Honest. I created two impulses based on this with the results you hear above.

You can download the impulses here, one left and one right and put them in your favorite impulse loader. If you don’t have one already, NADIR from Ignite is free, and the one I used for this: http://www.igniteamps.com/en/audio-plug-ins

For the amp sim, I used Vadim Taranov’s JCM800 with the default settings. You can get that here http://pvamps.blogspot.com/2016/07/jcm800-1986.html

Aliasing is a problem in digital audio where frequencies above the passband “foldback” into the audible range. While watching the review of some guitar amplifier modelling software, the issue of aliasing came up so I decided to try a few experiments.

In an effort to get more variation and versatility out of an ukulele, I started playing it with steel strings, but even that wasn’t quite enough. Where to go from there? Scallops!
