Is there anywhere I can learn about the different cab and mics offered? I’ve only ever used basic fender combo amps pretty much and as far as mics go I just know SM57s, which isn’t a bad sound but it isn’t high end either… not even sure how to describe the tone of 57 since I don’t have experience to compare it against with other mics.
I think the last piece of education would be to learn what combinations of speakers and amps and mics altogether are tried and true… I know there’s no rules but there are combinations that are voiced together with intent and widely accepted.
I just had an interesting happy accident. the Dirty Shirley preset has been the foundation for building my my own presets on but I experimented with changing just the amp block and keeping the Dirty Shirley Cab. I found the “58 Bassguy Bright” amp to be amazing at even the stock settings.
From my understanding the Dirty Shirley amp is a Bassman circuit at its core so it would make sense that any cab/mic combo that works well with the DS would compliment the Bassman too.
Anyway… it’s really a rabbit hole when it comes to choosing IR’s but at least if I knew what the speakers and cabs personalities were I’d be able to make bettter informed choices.
If anyone has recommendations, I really like speakers with higher headroom.
