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

[Orvillain]

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.

All you need is a Plexi and an SD-1 anyway.

Just because you have a modeler it doesn't mean you have to use everything. It can be a hard thing to get over sometimes.

Yep. It's like the Release Radar playlist on Spotify every Friday. Next, next, next, next, next... Oh, cool!

Agreed. Flipping through IRs might be even worse. FFS just pick one and EQ it if you have to.

If it can't be done with a Marshall, 5150 or Recto it's not worth doing anyway

And an SD-1.

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!

I was just under the impression this whole forum was a figment of my imagination and I'm just talking with all my other personalities.

So when you going to capture that sweet 69' Plexi from your video the other day?

Or you take the dill pickle...and get to bicker about modelers!

Flipping through amp after amp after amp...

Who does that? Besides yourself, I mean.

with these constantly changing frequencies responses, volume levels, serious tone changes....

It blows.

Sorta like when you hit yourself in the head with a hammer? If it hurts, I suggest you don't do it.
