I did some tests today.
I ran the Axe FX II thru a tube power amp (FX return TopHat Emplexador, EL34’s) and then to a 1x12 with a Celestion G12H 70th anniversary and all the amp models sound good, really good.
Those same models through IR’s only sound good on about 15%. I only have stock IR’s and the free Cab Packs Mad Oak and Wellspring. I was using KRK V8 studio monitors.
Why is that? I’m spending a lot of time trying IR’s and tweaking, but through a cabinet they sound great.
I’m guessing that I need to get some decent IR’s...
Any other reasons?
