Does anybody have any suggestions for the Carol Ann Trip Tik? That seems to be my favorite amp model. I have both the packs.
Use Fractal-Bot.
I bought the modern pack. What do you guys recommend for the USA Lead / IIC+ models? I'm hilariously bad at dialing in these things for recording purposes that any feedback would be great.

I would suggest the CL-80; works for me.
Has anyone found a good amp match for the D-120? I never like the sound of that speaker with anything I've tried so far.
+ 1 , the CL-80 seems perfect for those tones, even for me who has never been much into the Mesa stuff
1. Currently you cannot use AE to transfer IRs from disk to the Axe-Fx.
Early versions of Axe-Edit will load IRs just fine on the Standard and Ultra. The program was rewritten for the Axe II, and not all of the functionality has been implemented yet.Really? Is this with older versions of Axe-Edit and the Std/Ultra, or does this apply only to current versions of Axe-Edit and AFII? I have been using AE to load IR's to my Std.
The key is to read the manual (it's free to download on his site under the 'store' and 'mix packs' if you don't have it).
He basically uses different mic selections based on different purposes and techniques. For instance, the "Modern Studio" is a top producer's (not sure I can name him) preferred SM57/R121 mix. The tangible differences are detailed out; that might take some of the fog about what they are away if you read it.
I agree totally; I am a proponent of "trust your ears" beyond anything and everything else. Nothing, and I mean nothing, replaces first hand actual in-person experience to learn and understand something.I read the manual before I auditioned the IRs. The categories help organize the many files, but they really don't tell me anything about how they sound. I could read a thousand-page document describing the sound of a single IR, but it wouldn't do me any good. I'd have to listen to it to know what it sounds like.I read the descriptions and tried to imagine what the IRs would sound like, but then I loaded them and knew exactly what they sounded like. I can still find no correlation between what I read and what I heard. To me, trying to verbally describe what an IR sounds like (or any sound in general) is an exercise in futility. But the files have to be organized and described in some fashion, and the manual does a decent job in that respect.
