Do you use the same IRs for recording at home as you do for live performance? I play Metal with the JP2C amp model and a 412 Mesa Boogie Cab with a 57 and 121 IR mix (-9 db with the 121).
I have always struggled with liking the sound of my AxeFx through FR monitors when playing Loudly until recently. I normally just use a traditional cabinet and a matrix GT1000fx in the band room.
But finally bought a pair of CLR Neo mk ii FRFR powered speakers.
When I showed up to band I used the same IRs I normally use, and the band members commented (correctly) that it sounded way too bright. I was already doing a low cut at 120 Hz and a high cut at 5k Hz.
So I decided to try out the Petrucci IRs I bought. I tried them out at home at low volume but didn’t care for them because they were extremely mid focused and dark. However, I was blasting the CLRs in the band room when I stumbled on the 1x12 mix. Suddenly, the brightness was gone and the mids sounded really good.
Anyone else have this kind of experience?
