Bias Amp 2 and Amplitube 4 do this with varying degrees of success. BA2 does a pretty decent job of it with the Celestion speakers. I think what it is doing is it has a virtual grid of IRs and as you move the mic it mixes them or switches between them.What would be really cool is to be able to pick a cab and a mic you want and then have a knob or switch that controls the virtual mic position. To be able to find the sweet spot in a virtual cab by moving around a modeled mic in an amp modeler using impulse responses, what a crazy world!
It may not be exactly like IRL but regardless, it is quite cool: you can get some really nice sounds, it is very easy to use, and you do not suffer the information overload directories of IRs with varied naming conventions can cause.
I'd love it if Cliff and Company developed something like Cablab 4 that allowed you to do this in real-time on the scratch pad for demoing until you have what you want and then push the result to an AxeFX slot.
Seriously, fixing the IR problem, would be a next level thing for the vendor that cracked it. The sound is good but the user experience can be rough.
