I was buying up tons of Ownhammer cabs, but after comparing with the new Mic + DI cabs just in the factory bank of the new firmware, I think I'm sold on these are the best sounding IRs available. I am definitely buying this pack today.
I've never used 10 inch speakers for guitar. What is the main difference between 10s and 12s and what types of amps/tones sound best through 10s? I tend to stick to matching cabinets: 4x12s for Plexis, 2x12s for AC30s, 1x12s for Fender Deluxes (Tweed and Deluxe Reverb). Those are the 4 main amps I use, so wondering which might sound good through 10s? So far, loving the 4x12 Greenbacks for the Plexi, the 1x12 Deluxe for the Fenders and the Fuzzbomb and Boutique 2x12s for the AC30s. Any suggestions on other new Cabs to try with these 4 amps?
Can't wait to have multiple mic options and positions, though the stock ones sound great already. Would love some traditional AC30 cabinets with alnico blues, some more 4x12s and bass cabinets! Any plans to do bass cabs?
Also, like Cliff said, he's not getting better tones out of blending mics, but rather just using the single mic configurations. Are others finding this to be true? When I mic real amps I would always blend a 412 and 57, possibly a 57 with a 121 further away for some room sound (which now I get using the Rec Studio A/C and Room Reverbs in the Reverb block).
Any idea when the next cabinet pack is dropping? I am finalizing some tones for an album now, and wondering if I'll get to audition some more options soon. I know they're doing more 4x12s in a couple of months...wish we didn't have to wait that long!
