Flipping through amp-after-amp-after-amp is just shite

Doesn't matter if it is an Axe FX, or Helix, or ToneX, Kemper, QC, whatever.

Flipping through amp after amp after amp... with these constantly changing frequencies responses, volume levels, serious tone changes....

It blows.

Yep. It's like the Release Radar playlist on Spotify every Friday. Next, next, next, next, next... Oh, cool!
 
I just came from a session of messing with my IR collection in Cabinetron...kinda trying to figure out if I want to get a 2x12 someone is selling with Neo Creambacks. Since I had some Celestion IRs of that kind of cab, I went to town comparing.

The end result is that I can't decide what I like because it's so easy for your perspective to shift. "That's too dull", "That's too bright", "That dull one was actually just right", "No wait that bright one was nice and crisp".

Same applies to amps on modelers. You can scroll through them only to find that the one you picked first was the one you really wanted. That's why the number of amp models has never been a huge metric for me...as long as there's a few good ones it's all good.

PS. Recording the Mesa Mark V from the Slave out is great. Worry about micing later!
