I am interested in using my Organelle as a basic guitar amp/cabinet simulator. This way, I could use it as a “pedal platform amp” without needing to buy something like a Line 6 HX Stomp or a Headrush MX5 (or an actual amplifier). I would be able to plug the Organelle into the Front Of House for a live venue, and then plug my guitar (or my pedals) into the Organelle. Downside: I don’t know if any such patches exist. Does anyone know of a patch like that? Alternatively, do folks have ideas for how one could be MADE in PureData? I’ve never used PureData before, so I don’t know how hard it is to emulate a convolution reverb. ---

There are things around but finding a very good sounding Saturation / distortion / amp sim in pd (or in digital in general) is very complicated… In my case, I got myself a used / cheap Zoom Ms-50. it has a subtle annoying 5.4 Khz noise, and it eats AA’s pretty quick… Still, it became essential for me to use between the guitar and the ORganelle. Probably a better option would be to get an analog clean boost or a preamp or just a buffer pedal but then I would certainly miss some of the zoom goodies… I guess you have checked out already the ‘ambient guitar’ patch ? For Pd, you could check out also this library: [DIY2 - Effects, Sample players, Synths and Sound Synthesis. | PURE DATA forum~](https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/1877/diy2-effects-sample-players-synths-and-sound-synthesis) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfqQct-swHU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfqQct-swHU) [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gxwAvHkKOT0](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gxwAvHkKOT0) ---

@ShallieDragon There’s the partconv~ external by Ben Saylor, which might be similar to what you’re looking for. User element-s on patchstorage pointed it out to me some time ago when I was looking for a convolution reverb. I used it for my Brownie patch to emulate the reverb of a well-known 60s guitar amp and found that it does a very good job. Nevertheless, it has to be said that it creates a certain amount of latency, which could be problematic for your use case. There’s Shreeswifty’s New Convolver, which also uses partconv~: [NEW CONVOLVER | Patchstorage](https://patchstorage.com/new-convolver/) - if I remember correctly, all you have to do is swap the files in the IR directory with your IRs and see if it does work for you or not. ---

Excellent, thanks for the tip! I’ll give that a look and see how it goes.
