Would this approach be possible (for analog modeling)?



Hello,

so far I didn't read anything technical about analog modeling, but I
thought about some very simple and straight-forward approach and I wonder
if that would work (at least to a semi-satisfying level) or if this would
result in a sonic catastrophy :)

How about creating a white-noise sound, which gradually gains volume from
0 to 10 (or maybe to 11? :), and then running this sound through a guitar
amplifier. The amp would be set to a good sounding distorted tone, but the
equalizer should maybe left flat.

Then the whole thing would be recorded and analyzed with FFT. The spectrum
for each volume would be saved in RAM.

Then, a random sound (preferably a guitar signal) would be played and also
FFTed, and the stuff we saved in RAM would be applied to the signal,
meaning that every frequency's volume would be changed according to the
"recorded" sound.

Would that work? The distortion level could then be altered just by
changing the input volume, and an equalizer could be built on top.

What do you think?
