Recorded Telectaster, tone on zero into a Deluxe Reverb to Captor X to Lynx Aurora.
Did a bunch of sessions this last week using a Deluxe Reverb into a Captor X. I had loaded in some Celestion IRs I bought a while back. It sounds pretty good and is a lot quieter than mixing up the amp. Big problem though. I added a very short wav file to demonstate it. I brought up the level post recording so you could more easily hear the problem.
Telecaster or a Gretsch straight into the amp. Keeping the volume under 3. The speaker sounds great. Nice clean tone like we all know from a Deluxe. But... When listening to it on the studio monitor with the Captor X, I hear a very distinct fizzy distortion as the note dies out. To my ears, it's the sound of a missing low order bit. The tone is completely clean and I am in no way overdriving anything. The problem shows itself when the note has almost completely decayed. It's a digital distortion. Maybe it aliasing? Anyone else here this? It honestly makes the Captor X non-usable. Maybe they are not using dither? I tried a bunch of IRs with the same results. I even went throught the built in cabinets. They all do the same thing.
I did test by putting a Weber Mass in place of the Captor X. Of course there is no IR, but there also isn't the digital crap on the dexay of a note.
Anyone?
