Hello Guys!
Regarding the speaker simulations on my site (thanks again fot the translation!), here are some thoughts that i had over the last years:
To get more peaks, deeps, more unregular frequency response - how about to use the phase shift stages, just as in the Phasers. Instead of controlling the phase shift with the LFO let's just use a simple constant voltage to set the notches at desired points in the frequency domain. I think it could lead to some new interesting sounds. I'm going to try this idea soon, ma latest phaser project has the ability to manually set the position of the overall phase shift. So, i'll just feed the phaser with already 'cabsimed' signal and try to find some interesting sounds.
Don't be afraid to use the EQ's with cabinet simulators. Often, they are just a simple filters and an additional, even one band parametric EQ can be very helpful. I think that the analogue speaker simulation is quite difficult and i tend not to name a specific sounds like "1x12 simlation" or "4x12 sim". There's so much factors influenting on the entire sound experience called a "guitar sound" that it's better to use the basic highpass+lowpass, which describes the main frequency responsce of the guitar cab and combine it with anything that will create the frequency curve in the useful range. And this is only a partial picture of the guitar sound. Add to this the room accoustics, reflections, reverberation etc.
This leads to, in my opinion of course, the best method of speaker simulation. The method that gives quite convincing results and it is used more and more commonly by the software amp simulators. A convultion.
