Yeah I was trying to agree with both of you.Absolutely.
I’m saying that I wouldn’t limit myself to “not turn the knobs.”

I think this IR is quite well balanced and I got a balanced tone with f.ex. HBEs, 5153s and Brit Silver amp sims which are some of the most balanced amp sims in the unit.
I've got at 50w DSL here at home now. I'm very interested in those settings. My current settings are, first of all Lead 1 as I feel Lead 2 has way too much gain.My favorite Marshall I have is a slightly modded '97 JCM 2000 DSL100 and it absolutely ROARS! The knobs are all over the place, but it sounds fantastic through any cab I throw at it. The settings can change pretty drastically depending on if I'm using V30's or Greenbacks or Blackbacks, 2x12's or 4x12's.

Setting every EQ knob at 4 (volume 3 and gain at 5, deep and tone shift off) is almost identical to the Friedman HBE 2018 amp sim on defaults settings on the Fractal. That just tells me that these amps are really good since that's my favorite amp sim and I use the default settings a lot.
I was even able to enter Mesa territory with the deep switch engaged, presence at 0 and treble, middle and bass on full. Gain around 6 or so. Kind of a slightly looser Mesa Mark series type sound.
Not to derail the thread but regarding the DSL...When I used to gig mine I ran the presence at or close to 0 and had the EQ between 4 and 7 depending on the cab and room (usually Lead 2 with the gain barely around 2). The 50's and 100's sound similar but each has their own unique thing going on. Even though it's an amp I'd absolutely love to see modelled in the Axe the Friedman 2018 models get really close with this IR.
the Atomica through the Park IR is just silly..
The free one in post #1. It’s a Park 4x12 with Greenbacks.what park ir are you talking about?
ahh ok!!thank you for letting me know.The free one in post #1. It’s a Park 4x12 with Greenbacks.
I actually started out with Marshalls as a kid and since I got into the whole Mesa thing I never looked back until I got a JVM and a JMD which put me on a long hiatus. JVM just has way too much gain for anything. JMD was a disappointment as well. But after hearing you talk so highly of the DSL and hearing some clips of it compared to the Friedman HBE, I started getting GAS for it.Glad you're getting into the Marshall world. It's a fun place to be.
Well thank you I guess.This thread is / was about this Greenback IR, right?
Since I play a Greenback cab I was very happy to see this one come up. Unfortunately I absolutely don't like it. It's waaaaay too bassy and the top end just doesn't sound good to me either. I don't even like it with my main low gain amp, the Plexi! That one usually shines with Greenback-IRs...
OK, I could use high and low cuts, but to be honest, this never made a bad IR sound good to me. And I want IRs to sound good without cuts, because a well miced box hanging on a decent amplifier also doesn't need cutting, so why should this be required in our little black box?!
I'm sorry dude! Actually, the only free IR posted here that I liked is ML's "Best IR in the world". That one sounds amazing, both on headphones and at the FOH on gigs.

General rule of thumb. Any new cabinet that you can buy from the store these days... doesn't have good speakers in it. Obviously my opinion.
I think I'm finally starting to like Greenbacks.
