Why do EQ'd IRs sound bad?

I remember @FractalAudio made a post at some point about the theory behind this, but I can't find it for the life of me. Does anyone remember? Basically it was around that 'mix-ready' and otherwise processed IRs are a terrible idea; an IR should sound like the cab and be captured as neutrally as...

AFIII Metal DEATHMATCH - Fractal vs. Neural

Just for fun! Both tones are going into the same IR (Ownhammer Mesa Recto) and processing chain (just some light EQ and compression + widening). What do you think? I'll wait until we get some opinions hopefully and then post the answers / my thoughts.

Is noise important?

Whenever the real amp vs modeler comparisons are posted, it makes it easier to tell (with high gain at least) the real amp since it will have more noise. My question is does this noise have an affect on the tone when playing? Does it make an improvement? Should it be included (at least...

For those wishing for an Archon in your Axe

I (mostly accidentally) managed to match my Archon gain channel about 95%, just dialing by ear. I'm sure you could get it closer if you tweaked or tone matched. Here's a clip, 1 part is the Axe, the other is the Archon DI'd through a Suhr Reactive Load, both into the same impulse and chain in...

Little Metal clip with new Ownhammer V3 Mix IRs

These IRs have quickly ascended to my favourite and current go-to, especially the 'phase EQ' ones, loving how those massage all the right frequencies. Amazing work as always from Kevin! This clip uses the 'OG' english Mesa V30.

First UR clip and review + SICK new METAL IR pack coming SOOOOON

First recording since the Ultra-Res came out, it's been a BIG step for me personally, just gets the low end feel and overall tone way better and more akin to a mic'd cab in a room IMO! Regular IRs had the right frequency response but felt / sounded more flat and now that has been mitigated. I...
