Ownhammer IR's - Mic emulation or not?

[plyall]

Folks -

I recently bought some of the Ownhammer IR's (Marshalls, Vox, Matchless, and Ampeg). Since these IR's are all taken with a variety of microphones, is it a 'best practice' to use the IR without any mic in front of the virtual cabinet? It would seem so, because that would filter the tone through two mics.

Thanks!

Pete

You nailed it!

However there's nothing wrong with adding a second mic just to see how it sounds.

As Tone Seeker said, turn off the mics in the Axe, unless you find a combination that you like that sounds great.
If it sounds good then go with it.
