Does the Amp Factorys cab need to be converted to sysex using Cab Lab 3 ?
Also not having many IR libraries, will I have a wide range of choices (for Rock/Blues style playing) if I get the TAF Big Box Gold (IRs only no presets ) and the Ownhammer Studio Collection? Is there anything else that would be wise to get?
( I do own Cab Lab 4 and 5. Also TAF Legends)
I guess you mean FAS cab packs 4 & 5 ?( I do own Cab Lab 4 and 5. Also TAF Legends)
Can't remember that, I must check, but I'm at the office right nowDoes the Amp Factorys cab need to be converted to sysex using Cab Lab 3 ?
I don't know the TAF Big Box, but so far I have find what I like mostly in the FAS cab packs and Ownhammer. I don't remember what the sudio collection is, but as I wrote before, the OH 212 MAr-66 is great, and there's plenty of options with the FAS cab packs too, they're very good and cover everything. If you're more into rock and crunch sounds, there's cab packs 20, 18, 17, 16, 15, 10, 8 and 6… You chose, lol !Also not having many IR libraries, will I have a wide range of choices (for Rock/Blues style playing) if I get the TAF Big Box Gold (IRs only no presets ) and the Ownhammer Studio Collection?

THIS !To everyone, I would say to remember that modding Freman's presets piece by piece is stepping in the direction of creating your own. At least you will be figuring out what it is that YOU like and what works for YOU.

Nope, you don't have to touch cab lab. You just drag and drop them using Axe-Manage Cabs in Axe Edit.
EDIT: Thinking back, this was a while ago and I might have converted them from WAV, can't remember... There is a free version of CabLab now and if I did have to convert them, it's a batch process and it keeps your directory structure so it's super easy...
As far as IRs, TAF Big Bundle is my favorite ever, and I bought the platinum. Cliff literally called them the best IRs on the planet.
I would also recommend the OH 2x12 collection that Freman recommended as they are used so much already in his presets: http://www.ownhammer.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=157&products_id=353
I wouldn't get bogged down in IRs, just grab a few you really like and try different amps with them. It's like I said on a recent post. Pretend you have hundreds of amps at home and you just brought home a new cab. Plug 'em in, try them out!

Thanks Manny. I do have the Cab Lab Lite to convert the wavs so thats no big deal. I forgot that I did buy the Big Box Bronxe. So Andy is going to let me upgrade to Platinum. (Are you sure Cliff said that about these IRs
I have to say this again: these IRs are among the best on the planet. Anyone who hasn't purchased these hasn't heard what the Axe-Fx is capable of, errrr, of what capable is the, uhhhh, capable of is what...
Are you SURE he wasnt talking about FAS Cab PacksHere it is from the man himself:
Even start with the bronze pack you have. You have hundreds of IRs, how many have you tried?Are you SURE he wasnt talking about FAS Cab Packs
UPDATE
Yup, I found his quote on the forum. Nice testimonial. I intend to go for the platinum upgrade.
The Bronze Pack really just focused on the Presets...
I just spoke to Andy and hes giving me an upgrade code to Platinum. All is well
- All AxeFX Preset Bundles 450+ (New Preset + IR all in one)
- 30 Speaker cabs captured then Amps made to match.
- All Guides/docs/Wallcharts
- Free Full Support
Yes, That's a good policy for most things in life. This is going to be easy peasy, stay tuned!Sounds complex. I will be following the KISS Principle when utilizing IRs (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Multi speaker mixes in Cab Lab aint my thing. But if its yours....Enjoy!
