I found an orange cab ir a while ago and I always find myself going back to it. I don't know the name of it though.

Is there a way to load these impulses into a POD Hd Pro?
I´m a bit lost with these impulses... can you use them for example in Logic (with preamp out tone) or do they only work on modelling gear as Axe FX, Kemper etc.?
Is someone getting good results with fat lazy cabs here ? I'm still using a bit of Messiah 1 and 3, and S-preshigh![]()
I want to try that last option you did. Did you just open edit, make the tone with the head (not the pre is what I'm clarifying) and all the pedals, do "no cab", tracked it and added the IR loader and 2 cab sims? Did you turn off the hardware monitoring under the line 6 audio tab in settings? Could you also provide a link if possible for the cabs you found? I'd love to se what they sound like. And you ran both cabs at the same time?Well... I have officially discovered how awesome impulse responses are. Before yesterday, I hadn't been brave enough to steer away from using just my POD HD Pro for guitar tones, but yesterday I did some testing.
I used a dry signal from my POD, and loaded up the TSE OD pedal, TSE x50 with NADIR, and 2 separate IR's that I found on the net. This sound was pretty good, but I couldn't really get the tone I was looking for.
Next, I loaded up Menace Toneforge, and used the OD pedal on that vst, and disabled the cab sim. I then loaded up NADIR and 2 separate IR's. I played around with the tone for a half hour and was able to get better results in comparison to the TSE model, but still not quite what I was looking for.
Lastly, I decided to use my POD with noise gate, comp, od, and the Treadplate (Mesa) head, and disabled the cab sim. I then again loaded NADIR, and 2 IR's... and WOW. Holy buckets. The tone that I was able to get was incredibly massive. I've never been able to get this kind of tone straight from my POD HD Pro.
Long story short.... I'm now sold on IR's. They're pretty sweet.
The ML Soundlab stuff on fractal audio's online store. Cab pack 19 just hit and it's got two really sick cabs in it!
Just recently got Cab Lab and the Bulb cab pack.
Sound really good. Maybe it's a me problem, but I can't seem to get anything other than a mid-rangey tone out of any of the impulses. Goes across amp sims too (Revalver, TSE x50, Lepou amps). Which isnt awful, but sometimes I like to scoop dem mids.
I know this is an older thread, but still a relevant one!
I am the same way. It seems like out of amp sims, or modelers, I tend to always get this flat, mid-heavy, thuddy kind of tone. If you scoop out the mids the tone just gets weird and hollow. It is very hard to just get a nice high gain dynamic chug, like on Master of Puppets or something.
I have this issue on free amp sims, all the way up the Axe-FX II. I will do various EQ scoops, and can get closer, but nothing ever sounds as natural as an amp in the room for a nice chunky, chuggy rhythm metal tone. I tend to get more of a mid thud, with a low end boom, and bottoming out sound.
This.
I love 19 (Engl/Orange) and 24(Diezel). I've tinkered with the Zilla and Mesa cab packs but I always end up going back to the Engl and Deizel ones.
I had that issue using my Kemper through Monitors. So I used the BlendIR app to mix my Redwirez Mesa and Orange IR packs with the included room mics to give back some of that "in the room" feel I get with an actual Cab.
Blending with a room mic does wonders.
I want some of those cab packs so bad but they only come in the .syx format. Anyone know why they do this? I made a thread on Fractal's forum asking and I haven't gotten any answers yet.
Seems like it only hurts sales for the cab packs and doesn't boost any for the Axe-Fx at the same time. I know they have Cab-Lab but just require that to be purchased first to unlock the wav files or something. Any thoughts?
