Standard always for me.
They sound great that way, and I don't want to need more CPU power, or to load both flavors.
Standard always for me.
What do you mean? Can we select the type of IR we can load in the device?
You can pick the resolution / IR length in the Cab block.
Thats why I asked, what the prefered length is.

The VLUX 210 pack sounds great with the Vibrolux amp models as well as many of the Fender models. It’s a really cool sounding cab having 10” speakers and definitely has its own personality.
If you like Leon Todd TV Mix 7. Try this. It’s great.
A lot of it has to do with how you dial in your amp and what part of the frequency spectrum is the “harsh” range for you. For the clips you mentioned, I used the Solo Lead 100 model with all EQ knobs at 5, adjusted Depth and Presence where I like them, and didn’t use any boost pedals that tend to cut lows and add mids. Turn up the mids on your amp or dial back the Presence if you like a darker tone. If the “harsh” area you’re talking about is the natural top end air, simply use a high cut in the cab block to trim off whatever you don’t want. I don’t use any processing on my IRs, so what you hear is a natural and authentic representation of how the cab sounds mic’d up in my studio.
Awesome! Thanks for picking up the pack, and I’m glad you’re already liking it!
Yup, my ears are sensitive to that area too. Our listening environment, monitoring source (especially headphones), amp type, and the guitar we’re using can all have a noticeable impact on that region.
Probably Vibe Station and People Mover - not blues

Whenever I’d talk to Scott about his rig, he only mentioned using the Kerry Wright cabinet with either his vintage Plexi or his signature Suhr amp along with a couple pedals from time to time, so I imagine he uses the same setup for his blues tones as well.
When you refer to being sensitive to these frequencies, what is your approach for taming these areas if you like the general character of the amp and cab, but those harsh areas are a bit much? Is it a combination of amp controls and or IR selection for a given cab?
I always start with the amp’s basic tone controls before doing any extra tone shaping, but it depends on a couple factors. Do you hear it in multiple monitoring sources? Do you still hear it when using different guitars? If so, then I would put a parametric EQ at the end of your chain. Put a looper at the start of your chain and play a chord progression so your hands don’t have to be on the guitar. Use the frequency solo feature in the parametric EQ block using a fairly narrow Q to pinpoint the offending area, and then duck it down 1dB and see how it feels. You can take more out or widen the Q, but you don’t want to go crazy with EQ otherwise you can remove too much and take away from the natural character of your tone.
alot to ask i know.
