If you concentrate on the frequencies that the guitar sound is known for you will be headed in the right direction. Check out this frequency response chart for the Celestian Vintage 30 and keep it in mind when you're tweaking.
Now that's a good idea! This could be used on IR cabs that have the mic captured as well then.
The Null mic was a result of my wanting to use the proximity feature without having to use a mic profile. Thanks M@!

Thanks for your tips!
Where do you like to set the proximity frequency, and how much do you usually boost the proximity?
I especially like the proximity parameter to simulate the mic capsule compression at loud volume. Adding "air" as Angus states in Micheal French's TSO video is not the "Air" parameter but rather removing the speaker from your inner ear using the Room parameter. Keep a moderate size to avoid any delay and try the room level around 18% to 22%.
The updated Room Reverb (Reverb block), at default settings, also works great to put the guitar in a space.
For this purpose, I prefer it to the Room params in the Cab block. If you can spare the toll on CPU.
Thanks Chad. Just reposting trancegodz question about proximity?
how hi cut only down to 14/15 k? I have always gone down to 6. What would I gain by going up that high?
I'm having a hard time comprehending that too. Feel like most FOH guys would find it harsh and have to cut on there part. Interesting. I mean as a guitarist I would think we are prone to liking the tone more without the cutoffs but not for FOH.
I've done a lot of testing with isolation cabs. The big thing that happens is that the mic distorts, especially when using an SM57. This adds some crispness to the high end and some compression. I've found that I can duplicate that effect very closely by using the FET I preamp type in the Cab block and turning the Drive up until the desired compression is achieved. I set Sat to zero.
