🧵 So, it turns out that TS-M1N1 by #GuitarML, which is apparently a sophisticated clone of the legendary TS-9 Tubescreamer pedal, does a pretty tubescreamer-like distortion.

However, on my studio PC is an old Xeon W-2140B which has a rather weak single-core performance and at 64 samples buffer, this clicks into plenty of xruns with this overdrive. (This machine has lots of multi-core power, but single core…)

Actually I am experimenting with a re-creation of my #bass #FX pedal board in #Carla #PluginHost.

So far I found an okayish #Guitarix Chorus (the old TAL 60 Chorus has too much latency), using my favorite reverb as Impulse Response, some Gate/EQ from LSP, and TAL Dub-X delay.

I don't know yet if this endeavor makes sense to me.

My motivation basically is the #VCVrack argument… being able to switch complete setups including all the patching.

However, compared to a bunch of pedals by tc Electronic, any computer, no matter which OS and plugins, is a vulnerable thing.
