I get what you're saying for sure. I doubt any of the "big" IR producers these days create "unusable" IR's but I have also bought IR packs back in the day that I didn't use more than a couple of times. I don't know if it's a generational difference but I never though the ~$30 was a big risky investment when compared to what I was doing before the Axe-Fx. I couldn't buy my favorite boost pedal for the price of 4-5 Cab Packs.
I'm sure I could come up with a "greatest hit" Cab Pack at some point but it's most likely not in the near future. I have much more to explore before I can state something being "the best IR out there".
I myself am still trying to get my Sound & Tone. And I use for Live mainly the 4x12 1960 or stereo 1x12 1912 marshalls and never used the AXE FX with FOH gigging other then some testing in the rehearsel room. I have tried to find the IR's for these but last search I couldn't find these (hence my wishlist). But maybe it would be easier (as I own these) to have them IR-ed soon. Just rent some Mic's and see how far I come.
So far I was able to do most of my recordings with tweaking my sound, EQ & the STOCK cabs for recording as I'm NOT commercially exploring NOR selling my stuff in any way. It's all in GOOD FUN. I myself am just very intrigued and interested in the discussions and opinions of the forum users. So actually I have all the time in the world before the Top 10 comes out hahaha. In due time
I will certainly buy some packs!
For now I'm just raising the as it looks now "stupid" questions for others and just trying to help investigating or bring up the subjects what is obvious or easy subjects for long time IR users.
