was kind of an interesting discussion until the strange juvenile derailment.... perhaps we could talk IR's and recording again? Anyone game...?

Nah, sounds boring. Drama.... People calling other people names on the internet is so 2014. :lol: :LOL: I really think people are tired of that petty inflammatory B.S. You wanna call me names like "whore", please come do it to my face! Then we can proceed like men :yes: I will say, of course...

Basically, what you are doing (once you set up a good mic'd cab tone with your guitar amp plugged into your cab) is sending a tone (usually a sweep from 20Hz-20K) out of your computer, into a flat uncolored power amp, through your cab. The speakers do their thing, the mics pick up the tone and...

Actually, the REAL way to do what you describe, for an acid test- is to set up a tone, with a great amp real greenback loaded 4-12", mic'd up, and record it- then, make an IR of the same mic/cab setup without changing anything, and record the same amp through the load and the IR you just made...

That's a great setup. Try running into a powered monitor (I use the Atomic CLR), instant bitchin tone at any volume.

Hey guys, glad you dig the vid! The Burnley is indeed killer- great pedal, all the Bogners are, really. They just make really good stuff. Hard to go wrong!

Hmm? I don't understand, sorry- it is!

Good inexpensive solution, yes. Transparent? If you are suggesting it responds just like a cab... No. Try the experiment I outlined above- I.e. Load with a cab, but don't listen to the cab, isolate it in another room... Then listen to line out signal with a speaker sim. Then replace the cab load...

One last thing- a fella emailed me the other day, saying he just wasn't sold on the load/IR thing, he got the Suhr and was using some IR's and said he's a busy pro, and he just wouldn't feel comfortable yet using the tones he was getting over traditional mic techniques. I suggested he try...

Good post, yup I agree with all of this!

But you can't "take the load out of the equation"- just because you put the ISO line out box 1st after the head, the amp still reacts to whatever it's being loaded with, downstream, so to speak... and that affects that line out sound. Even if the line out box is right after the head's speaker...

I have them all- Two Notes Live and Reload, Rockcrusher Recording, Suhr Reactive load, Aracom, Faustine, and some resistive ones (Komet Airbrake, Hotplate)... I have have used and tested them all extensively in my studio. I've also compared them all to loading with a real cab. In other words- I...

That makes me really happy, glad you like what I do, and so cool you are working on your own album!!! Best of luck with it, and I hope you have a blast making it!

:rock: Thanks again dudes! You guys are a cool bunch. I appreciate the kind words.

Hey sorry I missed this thread when you originally posted- thanks man! :rock: Too kind! Glad you like the Japan thread, I'm still here and man it's been great but I'm going home on monday for a bit and can't wait!!!! 2 1/2 months in Japan, I need me some USA haha! I love it here though...

I have played guitar in Don Henley's solo band since 2009. I'd like to just say that he's always been very nice to me, he has a good sense of humor, and I really enjoy playing with him. Playing those songs is epic, of course. And yes he is a perfectionist, and always expects you to deliver and...

Lots of good options out there, You'd have to try all the load boxes back to back to truly understand the differences in tone between them. Ideally using a real cab isolated in another room as a reference load. As that's what you are trying to emulate using load boxes, and especially reactive...

I think he was definitely one of the 1st, if not the 1st to pot pickups? I have an original 70's Dimarzio SD that squeals like a pig, that thing ain't potted...

Great vid, Al! You sound awesome, as always. Glad the Circles EVH geetar worked out!

I can play Lay It Down but I don't think I know Bark At The Moon correctly, ha... I'd fuck it up!
