Tone Match is a fantastic feature but there's some misunderstanding about how and when to use it. In this video I outline several different ways to arrive at a satisfying tone match, including IR capture and "amp matching" with a load box.

Cool, thanks! Was wondering about some of these things, and the short bit about shooting the cab IR will get used as soon as I have a nice flat SS power amp to work with. I was surprised how quick it was to capture one. I guess the big time investment is in finding the sweet-spots and which mics you like.
I really want to shoot the Weber Grey Wolf AlNiCo in my VZA Simone cab, the Weber P12N AlNiCo in my '66 Deluxe Amp, and the Hartke full of Blue Pups, so that I can use them in the AxeFX III.
Will likely shoot it with my Sennheiser 609s close up and maybe use the Bluebird a couple inches farther back, to get a little "room" in there. Might have to buy a 160 and a 121, though, as those are my faves by far in the cab IRs I have in the Axe and from earlier, when I got some from RedWirez for use with their mixIR2 plugin.
Nice. Tone matching does not get enough love. Such a great feature.
Will keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the tip!Better yet, shoot each mic individually and them up in the 4 slots of the cab block so you can fine tune the mix in the box! If you don't want to break the bank on a ribbon, the Cascade Fat Head is a great alternative and it blends wonderfully with a 609.

Ha ha, must a made Leon's ignore list. Found this for anybody interested...I must of missed it.Great video. Any chance you could show us the process needed to tone match from a recording? Thanks!
So this video got me thinking. Is it possible to create an IR of a 1. A Kemper cab 2. A Kemper amp and cab and 3. Just the amp (like Leon’s amp match) or would I only be able to do a tone match? I have a few Kemper profiles that I really like and to get them over into the Axe would be awesome.
Thanks @bshaw92 I am sure I could get there matching by ear but sometimes I think I am there and the next day I am not sure what I was thinking
