It's quite common to see recommendations for using hi cuts on IR's/ cabs when playing a modeller through an FRFR speaker but.......
....if an IR is a "capture" of a specific mic, in a specific position on a specific speaker in a specific cab, in a specific room, why should it be necessary?
Surely if a particular guitar speaker doesn't generate much over say 8500 hz, surely the mic can't capture a frequency that isn't there in the first place and therefore it wouldn't be present in the IR? If a real world speaker was too bright, you typically adjust your tone controls on your amp/guitar/pedals etc, or change your speaker..
I mostly use York Audio IR's in my FM9 and I'm sure I read somewhere that Justin from York Audio suggested NOT using hi cuts.
I'm just trying to understand if I'm missing something fundamental, so curious to ask the Fractalverse...
