Good day folks, might anyone be able to suggest some good cab impulse responses that might work with Axe-Fx Ultra? If not, maybe any other great IRs that I can load with an IR loader like LeCab? I'm sort of burned out on using the Ultra cabs for every session, so I'm looking for some new 'modern metal' sounding IRs to revamp my sound. If you have any suggestions and perhaps a sound clip (demo), please share them below. Much appreciated!!

I'm using Mesa OS IRs from RedWirez pack with success in all my clips on my soundclod.

Rite on 4Eyes, although I do like the tone of that Mesa OS IR, it seems a bit tame for what I'm after..

Below is a mix test I just made today demonstrating the sort of tone I'm after, but I'm still looking for that perfect IR tone.. Mean, tight, and aggressive (but not harsh or scratchy).. In the clip below, I recorded through the Axe-Fx Ultra without cab modeling. In my DAW, I used LeCab2 to open my IR. For this clip, I used one of the IRs from the GuitarHack Final pack I found on Sevenstring.org. There is also no EQ or post processing on guitars in this mix, which is why I think this IR sounds better than most impulses I've run across.... I always find myself reaching for an EQ to fix problems frequencies with tones on most IRs, but not so much this one.

So anyone else have any great cab IR suggestions?

Error 403 :(. I use Guitarhacks too, I think those are the best IRs you can find.
