With all the modeling going on these days I would think that someone has modeled a MC2300. But I can't find anything. Does anyone know where to find a model, or is anyone here capable and willing to attempt one?

As one who has dabbled with a few modeling softwares I can honestly say I've NEVER seen a poweramp modeled.

I'd hold off waiting for that until you see the mega popular guitar powreamps like Mesa and Peavey modelled first.

However, with some units you can model preamp only which should get you very close...

Im a bit confused...You say you've never seen a poweramp modeled. But what about all these amp models that are in all the software products. I guess I dont know how things are done in regards to modeling. But If the software or hardware has an amp model in it, dont they model the poweramp section in addition to the preamp. Are you saying that you've never seen just the poweramp section done?

Are you saying that you've never seen just the poweramp section done?

Yes! That's a clearer way of putting it! If they did, I'd image you'd say a Mesa or Peavey first!

Peavey's Revalver software does both, separate preamps and power amps.

The AxeFX has extensive power amp modeling parameters, ranging from class to voltage plate to sag and power tube type; however, as with most of the device, it does not offer specific models to choose from beyond the settings attached to the specific amp types -- i.e. HiWatt, Boogie, Marshall, Vox, etc.

Since the McIntosh is a solid state power amp, most of these adjustments aren't that applicable, as they are mostly related to tube characteristics; however, they do drastically affect the sound and response, much like taking, say, a Marshall preset and changing the tonestack to a Fender Deluxe. You can run a Vox Class A amp with a Class AB power section and so forth.

Years ago, I experimented with a device called an Ampulator, which modelled power amp characteristics and simulated speakers. I ran it with a Trio and RT-921, but didn't love it. It was an analog device.
