I loaded up the beta last night and while I don’t get overly exited about updates much these days, this is really fucking cool. Absolutely the fastest I’ve ever dialed in a basic amp/cab tone, took about 5 seconds with the 65 Bassman/Bassman 2x12 and maybe 10-15 seconds with a 5153 Red Channel/5153 cab, then I spent a few minutes playing around with adding more mics to the same cab.
I LOVE that it’s seamless; I can’t remember what I tried before with the same idea that had gaps in between mic positions, but I felt like it was resetting my ears between each gap and that worked against how I hear things when moving an actual mic across a cab. The general way that plays out for me is hitting the sweet spot, moving a couple centimeters past it so I know I definitely hit it and then moving it back to the sweet spot. I think when more people get used to this, they’ll find they have an area they tend to go for and after a while, bee-lining for that spot will become the norm for a lot.
IE- I generally know on a high gain amp, on the majority of speakers I’ve mic’d, halfway between the cap and cone, a half inch from the grille is where I want to start and I’ll almost always get what I’m going for in that area.
Lastly, I hate the phrase “game changer”. The game is still the same. We’re searching for the best sound we can get with an IR. The only thing changed is the field getting smaller and the goalie nets/hoops getting bigger.
