So that's what, like 5000 possibilities? Sure, not all are useful, but I'm having great trouble wrapping my head around the sound of the cab, the sound of the mics and the exact effect of the combinations of those vs distance. There's at least 10 mic usable positions.
Yeah the main issue for me is always being overwhelmed with options. I'd be very surprised if you genuinely need more than stock Line 6 cabs and free IRs. So I just ignore all the stuff designed for heavy metal, grunge, doom metal etc. Greenbacks for Marshallesque crunch, Fender cabs, and Vox Celestion Blues/Silver's. For what I play there's only a few cab types I really like e.g. It's all down to choosing the mic you like, the mic distance, high and low frequency settings, and dB levels.increasing the latter by 3-5dB can make an astounding difference.īased on the IR packs I've tried, which is quite a few, I can get 'there' or pretty darned close with the stock cabs most of the time. But bear in mind too that the Helix/Pod Go cabs are actually very good. Just like patches that sound great on vids but sound like crud through your gear, IRs are just the same. IRs are very much down to personal taste, the type of music you play, amps you like, and the guitars you use. It's a huge rabbit hole you can get lost in and waste a lot of money with. There are plenty of good free IRs out there and there really is no need to buy.
