So Raf over at GGF posted some great direct clips of the VII using some various IRs. One in particular used the YA Bogner cab. I spent $15 and grabbed the pack yesterday. Very pleased with the results. I ended up using the 421 IRs like I seem to gravitate towards in Boss land as well. Will be gigging with them on Friday so interested to see how the non-Boss tones will cut in a band mix :unsure:
 
The YA Bogner 4x12 is probably my most used IR over the last year and change. Mix 01 is good, 02 a little warmer, I think 05 and 10 are good as well. Really good all around.

Really like those. Sometimes I go dual IR minimum phase with one of those combined with one from his MRSH 412 T75 pack.

I started off with a few of the mixes but wasn't tripping my trigger. The one that I heard elsewhere and liked was Mix 7 (iirc) and it was ok but I seemed to prefer the raw single mic files?

Yeah I'm digging it. We'll see how that goes in the band mix.

I’ve been using a minimum phase single from each pack in separate IR slots. Kind of like a mish-mashed Ubercab.
 
I'll be honest I nearly started a thread called "I hate impulse responses" this weekend. I just can't get a good sound out of them lately and it's such a time sink. Running through the Katana return isn't perfect by any stretch but it eliminates so much of the ****ing around with picking impulses and high/low cuts and all that.

Here's what I like about the Boss stuff. It sounds 'flat'; if 'flat' was used as a positive descriptor of something that is supposed to be more 3 dimensional (even if it's in a fake 3 dimensional way).

Most IRs I try I end up hearing the reflections and murkiness of the cabs they were shot in. The Boss IRs sound like fake eq plots that aren't made from actual speakers and I am totally fine with that :bag

Almost every IR I try lately is either too bright or dark or scooped or something off. Best case is that the EQ is pretty decent and I fuss with the high/low cuts until it's reasonable.

Do the Boss IR's work decently as standalone (without the "integration" of AIRD)?

Yeah I prefer my IRs to just get out of the way beyond some basic tone filtering ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I know that's probably wrong on a bazillion levels but it's my story and I am sticking to it.
 
I still don't understand what is so special about the BOSS JT 421/Flat IRs, visually they look closer to one of the Fender speakers than a Celestion, but does it really work for you with high gain?

When you say Fender speakers; what speakers do you mean? I think my ears are just tuned to those Boss speaker emulation frequencies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
