I can see a future where there is a CAB block not based off IR's that allow you to select this 'stock' types of CAB's with some power controls to dial in further + possibly some room type controls.. would love to see something like that as i really don't like the IR rabbit hole and don't actually use them that much for that reason - this, with some tweaking seems to potentially be really great alternative.
In the old days some of us mixed the "1x8 Oval" stock cab (as a 2nd cab) for a similar effect, adding oomph. Worked well.
In what way is the "Cab block with a choice of IRs" rabbit hole much different from the possible "Cab block without IRs but with a choice of Filter/EQ options" rabbit hole?
The irony of having a device that has hundreds of cab IR slots, and having thousands of IR’s to choose from whose sole purpose is to represent the mic’d cabinet, when apparently all we needed was a hi-cut and some EQ...
i get what you're going for here. but hi cut and eq is not "all we needed." the technique shared in this thread is just a different option for a specific result.The irony of having a device that has hundreds of cab IR slots, and having thousands of IR’s to choose from whose sole purpose is to represent the mic’d cabinet, when apparently all we needed was a hi-cut and some EQ...
In previous Axe-Fx units, but not in the Axe-Fx III:Didn’t there used to be option that let you choose ‘mic’ settings separately from the ‘cab’ settings?
Not really. You'd need far-field IRs, and apparently the previous cab IRs with no mic modeling was close-mic'ed:Isn’t that really ‘AITR’? Ie the AMP and CAB but no ‘air and mic’ with it??
Sure, you could do that.A compromise would be to monitor using the no cab EQ and Filter (if you like that better) and send CAB to FOH?
