fremen Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I wanted to do such a video for a few months : a comparison between the cab blocks of three different modelers, Helix, Axe-Fx III, Quad Cortex, in which you can freely chose your mics and position them, in front of the virtual speaker. As I just got the Bogren Digital MLC Subzero 100 plugin, which promise something unique in its cab block ("IRDX Technology"), I added this one too. At the end of the video, as a bonus and for reference, I also show some "traditional" static IRs : my own, the ones from the John Petrucci Tonemission pack, and three different Ownhammer packs. I recommend watching this on youtube, as there's a long description there, with chapters, my thoughts on each of these cabs, + some infos for Helix users ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Good video! Fractal seems the most flexible/sophisticated. If money were no object... Till then Helix works well enough for my limited needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Re: Helix "Dual Cab" matching - in Preferences there's a setting - "Link Dual Cabs". It only applies when you load the first (on the left) cab, the second cab (on the right) can be set independently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulzx Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I can't watch the video at the moment I'm at work.. what's the verdict on the sound - all quite similar or is anything standing out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Well done... not my tone/style but you can clearly hear what is happening to the tones during the changes, regardless of the platform. Any thread debating radical EQ and filters should be directed to this one. The most important EQ is the "cab>mic>position". Get that right and the rest gets a lot easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
