So why aren't all factory cabs UltraRes yet?

I love my AxeFx. It's the best gear purchase I've ever made. Whenever I'm playing around with the factory pre-sets, I can immediately tell if it's using High or Ultra resolution IRs and for me, high-res is just not in-line with the current quality of tones that Quantum and UltraRes has brought...

Best used studio monitors for 500-800ish?

Looking at getting some desktop monitors and am curious what the best value is out there on the used market? I've got an active CLR and might just need to get a second? Maybe used if I can ever find it? I do have some Blue MoFi headphones on the way and can't wait! Ideally, I want flat, clear...

CLR + UltraRes = More than happy

I had done all the fiddling. I thought I was in nirvana with the OH T2 SP mixes but when I played the real thing, there was something going on in the treble that those were missing. I found treble presence and the general dynamics existed in Cliff's IR packs. I posted inquiring which OH packs...

Ownhammer mixes closest in mix format to Fractals Mix Cabs?

I'm noticing with the 12.4b firmware that if I crank the low resonance in the amp block and use Fractals cab's it's warmer, deeper and more 3d than what I seem to be getting with the SP T2 OH cabs, particularly with some of the Fenders. The SP T2 are incredible and very present. I love the deep...

Anyone played/owned D-style clones and the Matrix GT/NL set up?

Curious how the hairs split. I'm really falling in love with the D-style tones to the point that I kind of want to track a clone down but I'd rather do the GT/NL if it's on par for those "in the room" tones. Thanks!

Anybody proactively stock fuses and stuff?
