    Amp in the Room?

    With the wide variety of ir's out there, some of which are completely unusable imho, I bet I could play you ten different ir's with one being a simple eq with tweaks, and you wouldn't be able to tell me which one it is.

    From Jay Mitchell: "When you place a mic in the near field of a speaker, the response at low frequencies is its half space response (as if the speaker had been recessed into a wall).

    There is no doubt that I have a limited understanding of ir's. I am not an authority at all. But I do understand that in the end, its just a frequency curve.

    Well, you would need a perfect speaker, or close, located at exactly the same place at the cab with the same perfect mic located ar exactly te same place as the before.

    No, I'm just talking about the distance it takes for 100hz to travel one complete cycle. Now whether or not it effects the curve we capture from a cab closer than that distance, I have no idea. Off hand, it seems like we would need a complete cycle but I don't know. Of course if a switch a...

    Of course you are absolutely right, ...when you measure the frequency response with a microphone. But when a play my marshall, I hear all those frequencies responding in a room. Now if I record that sound and make a cab (ir) out of it it may be fine if your listen on headphones or any medium...

    The absolute one is the one that produces the sound that is inherent to the speaker alone. Many variables impact the sound a person actually hears, one of them, where ir's are concerned might be room reflections. I am suggesting that a speaker has an eq curve, period. That eq curve may be...

    Why should there be a thousand different unique irs for a particular cab? Couldn't there be a specific eq curve that represents a particular cab?

    Yes i did. Im also saying, or humbly suggesting actually, that we dont need all that detail in an ir. That detail does give an ir its specif sound, and there is a place for that. But i am wondering if you would get a better basic ir by averaging out some of that detail.

    IR Length

    But even if they are, its still just a moment in time captured and presented as an eq curve. If you wait a split secound to sample or move the mic even slightly, you get a different curve. It seems to me that a more acurate curve would be some degree of averaging. Who hasn't run an eq after or...

    When we see the freq response of an ir, we are only seeing just 1 moment in time. Wait a split second and all those hills and valleys will be in a slightly different location.

    Input block Impedance question.

    Let me be the first to correct myself. From the wiki: "Variable input impedance changes the analog circuitry of the input jack to interact with the guitar pickup. It recreates the way that some classic effects “load down” pickups, causing a change in frequency response".

    Wouldn't it depend on exactly where the impedance circuit is located. I'm guessing that it is a part of the digital domain in case it doesn't matter if you're connected with a cable or not.
