I bought the BigBox collection, and have spent 2 weeks auditioning the countless options Red Wirez IR's and mixer program provides. I am in love. IR for IR I rate the Red Wirez overall as slightly better individually than stock Axe-Fx, but with the mixer ability, IMHO, the Red Wirez offerings are a clear step better than what's in the Axe now. Dimensional, vibrant, and alive. As others have noted, they dont seem to need any EQ'ing, but sound very balanced as is.
The problem I have is that I bought this massively comprehensive bundle from which I must choose only ten of the
thousands of options it provides to implement at any one time in the Axe. This isn't good enough. As a cover band
player I might use 5-6 different Fender patches, 6-7 Marshall patches, a couple Vox patches, and a few modern metal and crazy FX patches in a gig. That's minimum. I want to be able to create speaker/cab/mic mixes to optimize each patch.
The Red Wirez system lets me do this, but the Axe doesn't. I'm not going to purchase the Speaker Box series because I'm
already out of user slots for my mixes.
Cliff, is there any way to adapt the Red Wirez IR/mixer bundles as a purchasable upgrade for permanent download into the Axe, in lieu of the cab/speaker IR's & mic EQ's which are currently stock? Considering that the cab/spkr/mic component is only second in importance to the amp models themselves in shaping the overall sound quality of the Axe, I hope you consider offering this option, or some variant thereof.
