Anyone else getting sick of GAS?

Really?

You're so literalist.

So the way I read it, even at low volumes (1-2) a Deluxe Reverb in the room sounds better than any modeler ever can via studio monitors and I should get it

A deluxe reverb in the room does a much better job of sounding like a deluxe reverb in the room than a modeler with studio monitors. It will be very loud in a home environment. And you will need pedals to get any overdrive.

Yeah but can a Deluxe 5150?? Yeah that's what I thought!

OR he was using the wrong IR.

Yup. I read words. And I believe you typed what is in your posts. Literally.

I'm gonna take issue with that. The DR sim in the Amplifire is one of the most realistic among several excellent sims in the box. The Alessandro I had for awhile was the actual physical amp that Marc Gallo had used as his reference in finalizing the model. The far field IR I shared ca. 2019 came from that cab and speaker (which Eminence makes OEM for Alessandro). I also have IRs from an original AB763 DR cab with its original Jensen 12. Although I much prefer the Jensen IR, the Amplifire DR sim with the Alessandro IR played through one of my monitors - or any suitably transparent speaker - is an incredibly good match for the physical amp/speaker. FYI, a critical piece of making a reference comparison is matching volumes. Whatever the volume you need for the amp to get a particular sound, you will need to play the modeler/monitor at the same volume. Once you've gotten a suitable match, you can (obviously) play the modeler at a lower or higher volume. It won't sound identical, but the difference is due to your hearing, not to any tonal shift in the equipment.

The first TGFest you two are getting thrown in a kiddie pool full of jello, pudding and pickle juice and neither of you are coming out until you love each other.

That's not funny. My great grandfather died in a pool full of jello whilst wrestling with kids.

Doesn't sound very "great" for a grandfather if he wasn't smart enough for a snorkel.

The biggest thing is the speaker besides getting the power section working harder. A lot of speakers need a good amount of volume to open up, unless you get an older one or one with a very low sensitivity rating.

Seldom understood point.

It's why 4 x 12s can sound like ass.... until you get some wattage moving them coils.

I like to think of speakers like amps---get the right ones and quantity to match the
room and venue you are playing in. I think there is an ideal for every situation. Sometimes
it is a 1 x 10. Sometimes it is a 4 x 12. Though I seldom go more than 2 x 12 or dual 1 x 12s
these days.

There is/was a Mark V90 for 1500 locally. Probably gone now, but people are dumping them.

In related news, people are dumb and will live lives of deep regret in the future.

Paraphrasing a quote that always cracked me up:

I knew that one day I was going to do die. And before I died, two things would happen to me...

That number one: I would regret my entire life.
And number two: I would want to live it all over again.

Go GAS Go!
