A couple of questions. Do you run the POD in studio/direct mode or combo or stack mode when recording the sample to be tone matched? Do you keep it in the same setting then when the IR is running through the Torpedo? I've learned a lot through seeing this post and trying to emulate it, and for that I thank you. But I've only achieved one good tone matched IR by using the following method (couldn't get any different methods to sound half decent yet).
Recorded tone using stack mode, full amp, no cab and mic.
(I understand you run it with cab and mic enabled, but my attempts using those alongside the pre amp has not worked yet. The way I see it is EQ matching it adds what is to be the cabinet sound, but I could be wrong?)
EQ Matched tone with Ozone 5 and track I'm trying to emulate.
- Ran sweep generated through Voxengo Deconvolver, through Ozone 5 EQ curve, making sure it didn't clip.
(Same settings as DAW project was used in generating the sweep).
Ran exported sweep from DAW with added EQ curve filtered, with original sweep in Voxengo Deconvolver.
Used that exported file with POD in stack mode, full amp, no cab and mic, and Torpedo wall of sound as cab simulation in DAW.
All was done in mono.
Any further advice or approach would be greatly appreciated!
