Hey Clark, do you use the "null" mic when you run your IRs or is it just "none"
None is the way I run things. I don't really want to mess with IRs since I pay so much attention to getting the IR right.

Yes, that forthcoming Fractal "Boutique Amp" Cab Pack will have:
1. Cliff's vintage Dumble 4X12 with EVL and EVL speakers
2. Bogner 1X12 dual port closed back "Shiva" Cab with a Celestion Lead 80
3. Bludotone 1X12 dual port closed cab w/Warehouse WGS Alinco (same type of cab design Larry Carlton uses, but not with an EVL... I like the AlNiCo, it's sweet)
4. Bludotone 2X12 oval open back with Celestion G12-65Hs (same type of cab design Robben Ford uses)
5. Bludotone 2x12 oval open back (different one) with Austin Speaker Works ASW special Bludotone BT-80s, like Lead 80s but special design that extends highs and lows
6. A Two Rock 2X12 oval back cab kindly loaded to me by Jonas Carnemark of Konst music to include with Eminence KT-80 (or something) speakers.
Will be all API or Neve preamps using the the latest Mic+DI technique, and the mics include the basic food groups: SM57, R121, M160, MD421, E906 plus some room and back of cab mics. Shot at CUE Recording Studios in Falls Church VA's "Red Room."
These are not really heavy shredder-style music cabs - but if you like boutique style amps like Dumbles, Carol Anns, Bludotone, Trainwrecks, etc. And I love the Bogner x12 for Bogner amps myself; the design (recessed back, dual port cab) fools mics like SM57's into thinking it's a 4x12 cab.
One reason for the Cab Pack release delay is I shot many of these cabs in late December BEFORE the latest amazing Mic+DI technique was created by Cliff. Those IRs still sound pretty great (the Bludotone 1X12 cab now in the Factory presets is an example!), but I went back in to studio to use the new Mic+DI IR Capture technique plus an API mic preamp, as well as the Neve 1073 preamp in May, because I just loved how one recent Fractal Cab pack IRs Cliff and Matt captured with it sounded, and wanted to emulate the proven Fractal technique as closely as possible. Used same power amp and Direct Box on that.
Maybe we can include all the IRs from both sessions in the Cab Pack, what do you think???
Here's a sneak photo of a few of the cabs we shot:

These IRs sound good with everything.
SM57-MD421 02 and SM57-R121 03 are the best Alloys I've ever shot. Try them, save them as your global blocks and put your IR hunt to bed. There are most likely many questions you guys want to ask so please do so in this thread.
I do have a question. Can you tell me specifically what this means about saving these in your Global Blocks... Just haven't messed with these elements much. I did get the new 13 cab pack. Looking forward to checking it out.
Everything you hear in this clip is just the amp block and a cab block without any effects or processing. Every amp sim is going through the same IR: ML USA Bulb SM57-R121 03. )
Everything you hear in this clip is just the amp block and a cab block without any effects or processing. Every amp sim is going through the same IR: ML USA Bulb SM57-R121 03. So the tones are Fender Twin, Marshall JCM800 and the EVH 50W
are the mixes in the misha folder from 7 the same as the ones that came with 7 or have they been remixed ?
Can you upload the 3 patches? I always have problems with high frequencies and I want to see how much you cut out in the amp block or cab block.
So with the bass pack and this one, I think I got it all.
My #1 user IR slot is SM57-MD421 02 and #2 user IR slot is SM57-R121 03.
Hey Clark, do you use the "null" mic when you run your IRs or is it just "none"
Just to clarify. ML does that mean slots 1 & 2 in User Cabs or slot 1 and 2 in Cab Lab to mix together?
So the mics be set to none when usings any UltraRes, or Cab Pack cabs?
