When I click through I see a git repo with a descriptive title. Why are we seeing this title in the HN submission?
For the guitarist interested in applying this plugin live, it would be worth looking into open-hardware Arduino-based guitar pedals [0]. [0]: https://shop.electrosmash.com/product/pedalshield-mega-kit/
I'm ready for an esp8266 revolution. Arduino is outdated and expensive. Not that my wish will be reality, both academia and the last company I worked for used ardiunos for various tasks(non production). Not sure why, is it entirely the shape of Arduino is standard and can use Arduino based shields?

I'm new to Hacker News and I might not understand how it's supposed to be used, can you explain what you mean so I can fix for future posts?

I don't know, I'm not hearing the warmth of a tube amp. Sounds like other solid state emulator amps.
IANAG, but it sounds like it's recorded through a speaker in the room, and the miking wasn't optimal. Now that might be the recording we watch, or the actual output of the plugin; no way to tell. But apart from that, it's quite good, IMO. (I Am Not A Guitarist)
Just tried it out, I don't know if I would say it sounds like a $600 tube amp especially in high gain scenarios (it really didn't like my active pickups), for a free plugin it is definitely great. In comparison to the Archetype Nolly plugin from Neural DSP it doesn't really compare, but but for something thats free and can be trained at home on custom audio samples its pretty cool.
What a clickbait title. Sounds (to whom?) like a $600 (which one?) amp using deep learning (why does it matter?). To expand on this: -$600 tube amp is not description of a sound. And a plug-in is not something you plug your guitar into to make enough noise for 300 people. "A plug-in sounds like a $600 speaker" makes almost as much sense as the title; by the sound of an amp people often mean the sound of the combo box…
Absolutely it's clickbait, I'm trying to get some visibility on my open source project. To answer the question of why it's $600 specifically, it's based on a model of a Fender Blues Jr. Tweed, msrp $600. The models are evaluated to have a 1.5% error to signal ratio, meaning it's 1.5% different from the actual recorded signal, coming from an SM57 microphone. I really do appreciate the constructive criticism, and well…
That stuff aside, good work, and I starred it on Github.

It's based on a Fender Blues Jr according to the vid. It sounds pretty good for a free plugin, but as you said there's tons of free VSTs and cheap solid state amps that can do better. I think it sounds good for a hobby project though!
Oh, a $350 amp?[1] then?
Linking a store page just to illustrate that price tags are pointless when you talk about musical instruments, and also to give people who don't know an impression of what these $$$ go for.
You still need a sound system to get the sound out of a plug-in, and PA systems certainly aren't free. The cost of a comparable PA system + free plug in will easily exceed the cost of this amp.
This is why talking about $$$ while comparing a plug in vs. speaker hardware is kind of silly.

And it's great that we have this project! The project is great, the documentation is lacking, the title is not good at all.
