Axe and FRFR / CLR Users ........ " None " -or- " Null " for your Cab ?

[ben ifin]

Hey all

Curios ..... for those of you/us running youe Axe 2 with Power Amp Sim and Speaker Sim " on " ..... do you mainly stick with " None " or " Null " [ or a specific Mic ( ? ) ] for your Cab ?

Since so many ir's have the mic baked in, I usually choose none and occasionally use de-phase on about 2

 

[mr_fender]

Null is my usual pick. If the cab needs a little more low end thump, I'll dial in a bit of proximity. Null w/ proximity at zero is the same as None, AFAIK.

 

[xpenno]

I use none.

 

[rustyshed]

Null and use a little proximity 1-3 depending on IR

same

I add null proximity when I feel like I need it

Yep, I do this as well.

as suggested in the other posts, if you want the option to add more bass frequencies, set it to Null. keeping Proximity at 0 is the same as selecting None, but you are ready to increase it later if you want.

I avoid any additional artificial coloration to the IR. I want to keep it as direct as possible in the cab block, so I always set it at none.

 

[axifist]

If you don't need to set the proximity, use None, it saves you some CPU.

 

[BrickGlass]

I select none. Tried them both back and forth many times and my ears always say none.

 

[TMac1957]

None most of the time.

 

[barhrecords]

Be careful when you audition "null".

The default proximity is 5. That is almost always way too much.

So if you flip from "none" to "null" your first impression will be a bass heavy mess.

I find proximity between 1-2 to be more pleasing than depth in the amp block; depending on the amp model etc.

excellent information! thanx!

when I had my CLR this is what I did as well.

Does nobody use mic's while using FRFR?

Most IRs already have the mic(s) "baked in", so unless you want to add color outside of what the IR creator had in mind it isn't usually needed.

I add the R121 mic sim sometimes. For some IR's it add just the right amount of low mids for me.

Agreed! I don't always do this, but when I do the R121 is the go-to to add just a touch of 'oomph'.

I should add that usually I'll set cab mic to none.
