Then again, the fact he went back to a real cab may itself be pretty meaningful here.Īgain, though, I don’t say this as a knock against modeling technology - it’s important to remember that a modeler ISN’T intended to replicate the sound of an amp in a room. The real tragedy here is I have a buddy who DID go deep down the “room IR” rabbit hole with his AxeFX back when he used to own some sort of reference-grade large format speaker to play it through, but I never got a chance to run up to his place to try it out, before he eventually abandoned that approach and just opted to use a poweramp/cab for jamming/“in the room” playing, while running seperate outs with speaker emulation for recording. I think it goes beyond the IR though - maybe if you were running a modeler with a “room IR” through something like a floor wedge or a sound reinforcement speaker rather than studio monitors, but I think it ultimately has a lot to do with how an amp cabinet moves air, and how a studio monitor can’t replicate that. So, I really think it’s not modeling, per se, but something to do with the lack of a cab. On the other hand… I once played an AxeFX II belonging to Cliff at Fractal through a Carvin poweramp and the Mesa 2x12 I used to use at the time, at a get-together for another guitar site, where he pulled up some sort of Blackface type clean tone, and it felt and sounded good enough that if I hadn’t known it was a modeler, I’d have wanted to know what I was playing through just because it straight-up ruled.

I do feel like I play better when I’m standing in front of and reactig to an amp, though. I’m not sure what it is - maybe the lack of low end response that a 4x12 can impart that a studio monitor doesn’t, or the sheer amount of air a cab can move, or maybe t’s the slight milisecond delay that you’re getting from on one hand all the signal processing or on the other the run of cables and the ad/da conversion in my interface/computer before it comes back out through the speakers. The huge caveat, of course, is if I were to set my rig up on another room, mic it up, and listen while I plauyed through my moniors, it ALSO wouldn’t feel the same.
