Please bear with me as I am just beginning to appreciate the effect of IRs on a patch.
Until today I have dialed up a single IR for the amp in my patches, set the mic position to "null" in most cases, and played on. After reading a few threads about IRs over the past few weeks, I settled in for a few hours of tweaking today and played around with adding the same IR twice to a patch but with different mic settings on each one. For example, with the 65 Bassman model, I used the stock 4x10 ultrares IR, with a 57 on Cab 1 and a 121 on Cab 2. Doing that had a huge impact on the tone. I added a drive in front, played for a while, and was shocked at how the patch sounded when I would bypass on of the cabs.
The description of CabLab seems to indicate it will let me take the same approach to a higher level by combining and blending multiple cabs/mic combinations and then saving that blend as a single IR. Is that correct? If so, then with CabLab and a few IR packs, i am thinking I would be in a good position to begin experimenting with different blends of IRs.
I may be asking about a process that is fairly obvious, but I have zero experience with IRs other than selecting the stock ones and adjusting the de-phase from time to time. Is my thought process of how CabLab works with IR packs correct?
