I only use the 'freebie' Ultra-Res IRs provided by Fractal. Axe-Fx II on current firmware, BTW. P&W guitarist in a very hot band, silent stage, Strat player.
I'm only using three amps - the Urban Tweed/Twin, Friedman BE/HBE, and Mesa Mark IIC+. I'm super pleased with what I'm hearing but always looking for better. I have tried dozens of the provided IRs with my various amps.
There is temptation for me to buy one of the Cab Packs, either 4 or 15. Focusing on 15...
Does the "matching" Urban IR sound notably than any of the freebie IRs? I'm actually using the Lonestar 2x12 lately and give it an edge over the more logical Fender types. For the Friedmans, I'm using the FAS 4x12, #60 on the list. What would I need to buy to notably improve my tones? I do prefer smaller cabs - they seem more focused and upfront in the mix.
Or will I be like some others who aren't finding the purchases superior to the freebies? I am grateful for all things Cliff and know I can make music with what he has provided. But money is a bit tight and I hate to waste it.
I hope you can follow my ramblings here. I greatly appreciate your thoughts, as always.
