What Is Your Favorite Cab IR?

[gigawatt]

No aftermarket IR's please, just either the Legacy cabs or the Factory cabs (1 & 2) that come with the Axe III.

At the moment, the ML pr75 57. And the York audio mesa 4x12 57., Not sure which one it is.

Are you doing anything with the Mic Distance, Proximity, or Smoothing controls? You wouldn't happen to know what the default is for mic position would you?

I like the ML Zilla V30
W 421 with my Recto preset

 

[shemihazazel]

The original 4x12 Cali cab is still my go-to for high gain patches. I don't know what it is about that thing, but the aftermarket IRs of the same cab sound like shit by comparison IMO.

 

[curious]

4x12 TV Mix is killer. Always sounds good no matter which high gain amp I use. If I was at a gig and had to build a high gain preset in 10 seconds and play, I would definitely pick the 4x12 TV mix and probably the Friedman HBE. You can cover so much ground and get through a gig with that combo.

Is that in the Legacy cabs or Factory? Did the TV have Greenbacks? Oh wait, TV Mix, What are the mix?

The original 4x12 Cali cab

That's a Mesa type cab correct? What speakers are in that one, Mesa V30's? Hey what part of Chicago are you in?

Nope I leave everything at stock setting with the exception of the hi and low pass. Never worry to much about mic position, if it sounds good it sounds good.

that has a mic baked in...you typically don't want to add another mic on top of that. the most anyone would do is add the null mic to use the proximity feature to add a little thump

Agreed. The THUMP this cab has is just outstanding.

Yep. It's a Mesa cab. It has a smaller profile than the oversize recto cabs that I find way to bassy. No idea which speakers it has.

I'm on the NW side. City, not the burbs.

Just the right amount of thunk without a bunch of woof.

 

[PBGas]

This is a great thread to try out some other users fav’s! Will definitely try some of them out!

My preference right now is the Uberkab and the Bog both with the 121 mics.

Hmm, deja vu. I know I've heard that somewhere before.

I hear it’s nearly impossible to find a place on the East side.

 

[bishop5150]

Legacy cabs 161 and 162 together. 5153 412 cabs. 57 and a 4047 mic’s. Just has the sound I hear in my head. Or mainly the sound I had with my EVH halfstacks.

Lol, I live on Sheridan ablout a mile or six south of Evanston on the 7th floor of an 8 story buliding . Don't tell anyone though .

 

[gigawatt]

Lots of great cabs! Keep 'em coming .

 

[Randalljax]

the one IR that Leon Todd shared he uses with the AX8
its a Marshall with V30 3 mic blend .

It's in Factory bank 2 towards the end. I think this is a newer version a similar named cab in the legacy cabs. It's just a straight up tight sounding cab that works very well with most high gain amps.
