That RR is outdated, he dumped the Quad Cortex and went back to Fractal.https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundowns/intervals-2022
About halfway the article, turns out he made them himself…
Aaron is a wise man then…….. Thanks for the update/rectification, no use in spreading old info….That RR is outdated, he dumped the Quad Cortex and went back to Fractal.
Well at least he dumped the quad cortex it just doesn't stack up to FractalThat RR is outdated, he dumped the Quad Cortex and went back to Fractal.
I had the same question...Who is Aaron Marshall?
This has been my favourite IR since it was released. I basically don’t use anything else. @York Audio created something very special with this one.He says Oversized Recto cab and describes the Mix 01 with a 57 and 121.

Ya I just created a lead patch the other day that uses this IR and its the closest to the guitar in my head that ive ever got its damn goodThis has been my favourite IR since it was released. I basically don’t use anything else. @York Audio created something very special with this one.
He specifically uses the GGD cali studio cabs (which are all oversized mesa boogie cabs with V30 speakers), he said this in 2 separate gear rundown video's. Also he's not using a blend of microphones, but rather only an sm57 on the 'sweetspot' (don't know what it means in the studio cabs app, the mic position can go from bright to dark, I guess he dials them in to taste). But he is using different cabs for different tones, for rhythm he said he's using the 'upfront' cab with an sm57 only. Then he basicly exported the IR's of all the different cabs with just that sm57, and swaps between them to get the desired tone.
The reason he does it this way is to cut through the mix better, you don't really need all the low end, especially in his type of music where he goes for a tight tone most of the time, like lower gain single coil sounds and defined chords on higher gain presets.
I guess you could also just use the factory mesa 4x12 IR's with an sm57 for similar effect.
I’ve been using this for a few months now. Very nice IR pack.He specifically uses the GGD cali studio cabs (which are all oversized mesa boogie cabs with V30 speakers)
Ah yes I believe you are right. Also he says he's using SM57 + 121 in that latest rig rundown (29 april 2022 on G66). Anyway, the York audio IR's and the GGD cali are capturing the same type of cabs and speakers, I imagine them being similar in tone.I'm pretty sure the most recent of his rig rundown videos talks about using the @York Audio Mesa Oversized cab pack. If I remember this right, he used to the GGD Cali Oversized before the switch to York Audio.
I haven’t heard the GGD Mesa OS cab, but I imagine it probably sounds very different than mine. All four speakers in the same cab can sound drastically different, the same speakers loaded into an identical cab will sound different, and also two identical mics will still sound different. All of that on top of mic placements, mic preamps, cab room, conversion, power amp, and capture method differences could make those two cabs sound like completely different animals.Ah yes I believe you are right.
