One of the only issues I have with my live tones is that probably 60-70 percent of our tunes can be covered with one general amp/cab combo, which for me is the Matchless DC30 into either the OH 1x12 Alnico Silver or the new AC20 UR Mix in FW15. On some of the 90's/80's rock stuff that we do I switch to a more Marshall-esque tone and a 4x12 ir, usually the OH MGE el34 live 05. Both tones sound great on their own, but when I switch, it's such a drastic shift in tone that I never like how the gainer tone sounds, ever.
My question is, how many of you ever play with one ir over a range of amps, to keep a sort of "consistency" between tones. Has anyone ever tried? I found an ir today that sounds shockingly good on both, and i thought about giving it a go, just to see if I dig it.
I mean, most gigs you aren't taking different heads/cabs for different songs. Trying to find a nice middle of the road solution that can cover it all. I understand that the beauty of the Axe is that you can have it all...but I think there is still validity to the other approach as well....any thoughts?
