    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    The set I landed on for my #1 Les Paul is a Mule in the bridge and an Emerald in the neck. The Emerald is hotter, brighter, and clearer than the VH II neck. It sounds great by itself and sounds beautiful when combined with the Mule in the middle pickup selector position. I still really love the...

    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    Awesome! Yeah, the 67 is like a Goldilocks condenser that isn't too much or or too little of anything... it's just right and sounds great blended with other mods as well. Yes, this DynaCab is based on the same physical cab as the MES 412 OS-V2.

    I haven't tried splitting the coils on any of the pickups. I would email BKP and tell them what you're looking for. They're amazing at helping you find solutions for what you're looking for. Also, has anyone made any clips with the new Recto DynaCab? I'd love to hear how you guys are using it.

    High Cut - Yes or No

    It depends on the guitar, but I leave the high cut off, keep the SLO's B, M, T, at 5, and set presence for the top end response that sounds good with that guitar. If the top end doesn't feel right, try a different IR Mix or maybe one of the single mic "CN" captures for a smoother natural top end.

    Tone Shaping - Sharp PEQ Cuts

    I'd guess the main culprit would be your headphones imparting that spike at 3.3k If you're hearing it with every IR and different amp models. If cutting that frequency makes your headphone experience better, go for it with a simple PEQ block at the end of your chain. Just make sure to bypass...

    New DynaCab™ Pack - York Audio 4x12 Recto

    Hahaha! I have a feeling my competitors feel the same way. ;) DynaCabs are approached in the opposite way compared to traditional IRs. With traditional IRs, you tweak your amp settings to sound great with the IR you're using. With DynaCabs, you tweak your mic placements to sound great for your...

    I'm still getting used to all of the pickups and their character, but these are my initial thoughts having them all installed in Les Pauls: The Mule - My favorite bridge pickup of the bunch by a mile. It's clear, open, sounds punchy and aggressive with high gain, and plays nicely with cleans...

    New DynaCab™ Pack - York Audio 4x12 Recto

    I think users sharing their CL sessions is great. It's a little trickier for IR producers who make their living doing this who don't want to give up trade secrets by revealing certain mix recipes, ya know? But it's ok. That's what the standard IR packs are for. :)

    I haven't heard of the 3rd Power Mag Frags, but I'll have to check them out. I have sets of the Mule, VHII, Abraxas, and Emerald... but I need to get the Rebel Yell. My friend has a guitar with those that sounds amazing and I didn't know the model until after I ordered the other sets. Yeah, I...

    New DynaCab™ Pack - York Audio 4x12 Recto

    Thanks man! I'm glad you like it! The Paramore sound changes with every album, but it's possible that this is the cab used for the Brand New Eyes album. I'd try the SM7 (what I mainly used on that cab live), or blending 57m and 421m. Our high gain amps always had plenty of low end, so we didn't...

    Your timing on this subject is perfect since I've been going pretty deep down the pickup rabbit hole lately. I recently got a 1990 Les Paul Standard that might be the best LP in my collection. I put a Thornbucker+ set in it and it sounded great. However, I've heard a lot about the Bare Knuckle...

    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    Yeah, speaker drive reduces top end, so I always turn that off. Speaker Thump isn't as obvious with its effect, so it's normally fine at default settings, but I normally turn it off anyway along with speaker compression. Pickup and pole piece height along with magnet type play a MASSIVE...

    New DynaCab™ Pack - York Audio 4x12 Recto

    You could run the Ampero into your DAW without a cab block and use DynaCabs with Cab Lab 4, but it cannot export files in .wav format. It only exports files that can be used with Fractal units.

    IRs York Audio Master Thread - Newest Cab Pack: KW 412 M25-SH

    I always turn off speaker drive and speaker thump. The gain enhancer is great at very low values where it's more felt in your fingers than heard through the speakers. I forgot about that parameter until you mentioned it and need to try it again. Compressors that hit around -7 to -9dB when...

    I posted the preset here: https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/york-audio-master-thread-newest-cab-pack-kw-412-m25-sh.156603/page-23#post-1986283 Humbuckers definitely won't sound like a Tele with single coils, so you'll want to approach that guitar differently. I don't know how much firmware...
