I want to expand my sonic palette by purchasing a cab IR package for my Axe-FX II. I know about Ownhammer and RedWirez. Are there any other IR packages out there that are worth considering?
Also, I'm interested in hearing opinions from anyone who is familiar with the complete packages from both Ownhammer and RedWirez. I know that they both are well liked on this board. I'm curious if one or the other might be a better choice for the type of tones that I typically use in my band.
Tones that I use are pretty varied, spanning everything from a harder sound (School of Fish - 3 Strange Days), to light pop (Katy Perry, Paramour), to classic rock (Aerosmith Sweet Emotion), to blues (Susan Tedeschi), to roots rock (Kings of Leon, older Sheryl Crow), to old school R&B (Chain of Fools, Crazy or Forget You). Though it isn't currently on our set list, we plan on including some songs by Alice In Chains (Would, for example). The School of Fish tune is about as hard as we get. Amp models that I use include the AC-30, Double Verb, Friedman HBE, Matchless, USA Clean 1, CAE Rhythm.
I realize that this will ultimately come down to personal taste and that just because someone else likes something does not guarantee that I'll like it. I'm just looking for comments, opinions, and observations before I make a choice.
Thanks,
Scott
