So I've read that using dual stock Helix cabs/dual mics, you can get a much fuller sound, comparable to a good 3rd party IR. Single amp, 2 cabs panned center and blended.
The problem is, with 37 cabs and 16 mics, that's 174936 unique combinations. Then there's also mic distance which has quite a significant effect.
Any vets out there care to share your favorite dual cabs as a starting point for newbies like me? Would be nice if you could specify the following:
-cab model
-mic model
-mic distance
-mix % of cab1/cab2
I can think of a few advantages of using the stock cabs, although I already have quite a lot of IRs:
- simplicity of not having to manage IRs in specific order
- able to do fine tweaks
- easier to share presets
Much thanks in advance!
