So for the latest time, i have been using several ML cab packs and OwnHammer Heavy hitters Collections, and i have noticed that when all setting on the amp are stock and set at noon (mic'ed with a single sm57), they don't sound anything close to how the real counterpart does with the exact same settings.
The IR's generally seem to be noticeably high passed (and possibly low passed as well), cuz the main bulk of the tones is narrowly focused moreso on the midrange, often with an unpleasing bloated hump on the 200-350hz area.
In comparison, when listening to several playthroughs online where the players state that they have no post processing done on the recordings, it sounds a lot fuller, open and sparkling.
If i recall correctly, OwnHammer have on previous occations confirmed that they highpass their IR's, to fascilitate the tone sitting in the context of a mix more readily with less work.
As much as i can see that that application is useful and greatly appreciated by a lot of people, it's really not for me. And yes, i'm aware that the general recommendation is to blend in other types of microphones to supplement with lowend/highend characteristics, but this method also changes the overal sound of the initial IR that i was going for to begin with.
With that being said, i'm writing to see if anyone can recommend any IR's that are more geared to what I'm looking for?
Much appreciated and with best regards.
