Just installed and yea theres something to this for sure. Noodled around with some mid gain tones and a Strat and it definitely has that amp in a room sound without having to add any verb. I definitely dug this more than the standard length close mic IRs. Looking forward to more full res content in the near future.
Blending full and close mic IRs became a little problematic. I found it difficult to get a good balance between them and tone is always hard to describe but I couldn't really get that cohesive sound between the two like I had in my head. They always sounded separate and seemed difficult to blend together. In the physical world, I'd close mic for my main sound and blend in some room for ambience. I just couldn't make this work in the cab block. Wondering if these full res IRs are close mic recordings with the room slapping back? Perhaps that would explain my difficulty but Im completely spitballing. If this is actually the case, maybe some full res of room mics would be cool for this purpose???
I really hate to compare un-like products but Wall Of Sound gets this for me. Set up virtual direct mics and blend in just enough room for air and weight. It would be understandable why, if my theory above is true.
I'd also note the CPU hit is the truth. Never saw AxeEdit display warning before.
At any rate, this is a great advancement of the AxeFxIII for sure. Well done, guys.
