It reverts back to that topic because you're hoping that the same amp setting would apply to two completely different ways of reproducing your sound.It would screw up my power amp + cabs tone.
But I don't see how this necessarily makes the issue revert back to a cab-in-the-room discussion.
Please elaborate.
My Presets, as currently conceived and programmed, are based on fine-tuning my power amp + cab tone.
When I use the Axe on gigs, that's how I use it.
I'm simply trying to find IRs, or ideally a single IR, that can be used with these same Amp Block instances, w/o too much compromise, to send to the FOH on live gigs and/or to use myself when recording demos or practice material at home.
I'm fully aware that if I just wanted to have Presets designed only for FRFR usage that the Axe is eminently capable of having a different Cab Block instance that would be quite suitable for each one of those Presets.
That's just not what I'm trying to do at this particular moment.
Your power amp and cab setup is not a simple filter, it introduces a good amount of PA coloration and distortion, speaker compression and distortion, you hear it straight in your ears and probably also quite off axis and with floor coupling.
An IR has nothing of all this. The only way to compensate for these differences are:
1) try to make your FOH output as similar as possible to what you perceive coming from the cab (we gave you plenty of suggestions above)
2) opposite of 1
3) find a compromise that works for both in an acceptable way
4) dismiss your PA+cab and use a Frfr cab
5) just continue to use two different IRs
I don't see other ways around
