It's all just numbers-and I think the equation sounds fairly cool in Clip 1. But, of course, we're not putting a speaker in front of an amp: We're placing a speaker-like EQ profile in front of an amp-like EQ/distortion/compression profile. The effect order is nonsensical in analog terms: speaker, spring reverb, distortion pedal, and then amp (without a speaker model). In Image 1, the right column shows the active effects, in order from top to bottom. Here's an example using Guitar Rig 5 from Native Instruments, where you create signal chains by dragging virtual components from the left-side browser onto the right-side workspace. In the analog world, the laws of physics limit our options-you can't put the speaker before the amp! But in digital, why the hell not? Most digital guitar rig presets arrange their virtual components the same way we'd organize their analog equivalents. The companies who create modelers may be thinking in analog terms, but that doesn't mean you need to.
