I acknowledged that a real speaker cab is different than an IR?So if I move I can’t expect a similar experience? If I don”t I can’t either?
Bingo! That is what is missing from the Axe FX. The lowest of my real amps offers that.
You just acknowledged it.
This is well-known and documented. You didn’t like, reveal an industry secret or anything. I’ve been saying that in every post. A real amp, even the “lowest”, has a quality to the speaker due to physics.
From day 1, the Axe-Fx is known to create the tone of a mic’d guitar Amp, just as you’d listen to it from a control room.
As mentioned in this thread and hundreds of other threads on this same topic, to get the “real cab” feel, use a real cab. That’s it. Simple.
It’s no secret nor rocket science. All of this has been known and told since day 1.
