I've been working on my Acoustic patch for our gigs. Now that I have a PRS Hollowbody SE Piezo, I have a guitar that does a decent acoustic tone...one guitar to bring to a gig.
Thinking "two different IRs must sound better"...I put a 3Sigma Gibson 15 IR on one side and a Martin one on the other. It sounded terrible. The tone was thin and plinky. I looked at the Align tab in the cab and the two lines seemed to be out of phase with each other. Now it made sense. Thinking that maybe 3Sigma recorded the IRs with different phases, I tried to align them but it didn't work - no phase correction seemed to work. Anyway, turning off the second IR made the acoustic sound much better.
Phase is a thing! Lesson learned for me.
