I'd like to know what you think of the Ownhammer Mesa V32. Worth the $25?
I've been playing with the Comet lately and after going through all the V30 cabs in the AxeFX II I came up with two that worked reasonably well. I was interested to see if I could dial things in a bit better so I just picked up the Ownhammer Mesa V32.
However, what I'm really curious to see is if I can leverage the variations in Ownhammer's IR's to compensate for differences in my guitars. I've played my PRS 513 exclusively for the last few months and I'd like to add my P90 and PAF based guitars into the mix. These guitars are not as bright and of course the mids differ. While I realized that using GEQ / PEQ would be the normal solution, I'm wondering if a quick IR change would also be effective.
Has anyone experimented with this approach?

Honestly, changing IRs changes the entire character of the tone so much that it adds another variable into the mix and overcomplicates this process.
This is what I end up doing. I pick my main guitar and get a nice tone I like. Next, I turn EVERYTHING(amps, cabs, effects, drives etc) off in the signal chain and put a looper with my main guitar playing a riff in the chain BEFORE amps/cabs etc. Next, put a GEQ right BEFORE the looper(so the looper doesn't get affected by it) and plug in the guitar I want to alter. Next I play back the looper and jam on the new guitar back and forth. Adjust GEQ until the sound of my new guitar matches that of the looper as closely as possible.
I use the Ownhammer Mesa V32 for a lot of my mid-high to high gain presets. Also together with the now free of charge aomDSP (also on the Ownhammer website), you can create mixes between the different mic placements or IR-capturing techniques in that package.
Hi, a question dude, is aomDSP standalone or need a DAW?
Any advice to use aomDSP is welcome.
Thanks.

What happened to the OH ir's by the way? I took the kickstarter bundle and at the time I was under the impression that after the initial testing and finetuning the different packages were gonna come pretty quickly? I've got the two that's available but it's been very quiet for some time now?
Wow I guess I own rare IRs then... OwnHammer Scumback IRs and Mills IRs. I guess Kevin is updating ATM.
