no. in the presets that I sell, I use only factory-IR (except acoustic sim).Could that be because you are $elling your IRs?
Probably York Audio / Drbonkers and 3rd party vendors do not use the same mic preLet The Speculation Begin
Yes I think it makes it a bit more natural to have slight phasingsAlthough Im not exactly where I want to be with dynacabs yet Leons move of changing alignment @20ms seems to be part of whats missing to me
Will do - I speculate that sooon, we could see new cabpack IRs captured with a different mic pre from what previous DCs have been captured with.Let The Speculation Begin
I suspect that is due to the majority of the GOT presets being released for Christmas 2022, three months before Dyna-Cabs were first released as beta in March 2023. Given the lead time to gather the presets they were probably frozen four months before the release.Also noticed much of the Gift of Tone series presets all use IRs not dyna cabs.
Yeah, my experience is that it's easier and faster to know what works especially if you use the same IR brand e.g OwnHammer as they seem to be very balanced across the diffrerent IR:s; for example, the 05 position is equally bright whether it's a Mesa, Marshall, Vox, Diezel etc. Usually it's the low end and mid that needs to be tailored a bit.This seems to be a common thread - if i'd found a few IRs that worked perfectly for me across all my presets which I felt were 100% dialed in, I suspect I would not likely be keen to spend much effort on DCs - but when the door feels open to further preset improvement, they are worth the effort imo, particularly with the cablab4 added value.
Hi millman,They sound scooped due to the Mic Preamp used on the captures. I’ve personally found that to revive the mids I like to blend two mics and position one further out than you might be used to. I blend a Dynamic and a Ribbon putting one inner-mid to mid cone and the other around cap edge. This brings back the mids the Neve scoops out but keeps the openness and life I feel the Neve adds to the capture. A lot of IRs you are used to were probably captured with an API (I believe most of the FAS captured Legacy IRs were captured with an API which is more mid focused).
Here is my version of the four channels I'd use of a JVM as a preset. Try both Channel A and Channel B no the cab block. Channel A places the Ribbon over the cone and Channel B places the Dynamic over the cone. I think both of these work with my guitars. I play primarily humbuckers (PRS 85/15, PRS 58/15LT, and PRS 58/15LT+).
Interesting comment Cliff.The mic preamp doesn't make that much difference as you will soon find out.
