    Best IRs available today for a Deluxe Reverb - Cab Pack 10?

    Been using Cab Pack 10 - 1x12 Deluxe Verb (Based on a Fender™ Black Face Deluxe Reverb™) as my main IRs to simulate recording my Vintage Fender Deluxe Reverb. Wondering if there are any other IRs available now that I should look into to replace those that are superior (new capture methods, etc)...

    Tone Tubby Hempcone IRs?

    I recently started using a Tone Tubby Alnico Purple Haze Hempcone speaker and absolutely love it. Does anyone know if there are any IRs available of Tone Tubby Speakers? If not, I might have to capture my own IR of my speaker...it's just too good.

    Reamping via SPDIF rather than USB

    so running it this way (a row of shunts for the DI) will be the equivalent to DI from USB as long as I am at 0db on the input and output with no gate? Any differences? This would be perfect, as I tend to only record guitars in mono anyway, so I can send the amp tone to input 9 and the DI to 10...
