[QUOTE="Daryl, post: 78311, member: 2547"] As far as IR's go. I think they are cool. I still think that it is really important to know the old school methods for getting a great tone with a mic off of your cabs. Especially in a live situation, it is important to get the best mic'd tone you can and quick. So I say use the IR's but don't forget to use your mic's. You may find a really good tone with a 5 minute mic setup that rivals an hour of messing around with IR's to find the "right" one. If you know what tone you like and got nice cabs why not just mic them up and rip? This "shavering" method really makes the setup easy and 5 minutes or less if you got your amp set up already. Not to mention the hours of research and testing of different IR programs to find the best ones. So don't forget the mic and cab methods of recording and don't be afraid to try the IR's either. You never know what will do it for you tone-wise. Every ear is entirely different paradigm. :D [/QUOTE]
