Hi everybody,
I'm a cover band guy ('80s metal), and I'm looking to cop the rigs from the albums as nearly as possible (using information from the 'net).
Because I know that a lot of the album sound is "studio magic" best left to my FOH engineer, I'm looking for something a little more "guitarist-y": the sound that really came out of the real rig in the studio.
IRs are a sticking point. For example, I have, like, a couple dozen "1960A with Vintage 30s" IRs.
In the past, I've:
Has anybody run into a better way to take a Tone Match, and get the IR that most closely resembles it? I'd love to know. I almost wonder if Cab-Lab (or similar) could have some kind of analysis function that would rate the similarity between the Tone Match and the IRs.
Thanks,
Eric

In the past, I've:
- Set up the rig (with a Looper block in front to play the riffs);
- Done a Tone Match to the album after the AMP block;
- Set up a CAB block on a different row from the Tone Match; and
- Used a Mixer block with an LFO to alternate between the Tone Match and the CAB, effectively auto-A/B-ing them while I scroll through my list of IRs.
