Neural DSP Quad Cortex Factory CAB Sim or IR Cabinet Impulse Response?

[@illiathiele3733]

Thanks. I don't use 3rd party IRs with my QC, but also noticed in your comparison that QC cabsims sound very closed, not open/bright.

Thank you for watching and for your feedback. I've tested professional IR 3rd parts some weeks ago and I have your same opinions...with professional IR like York Audio the response is more realistic, less sparkling, more detailed and less compressed in a box than the Cab Sim...more or less a lot of QC Cabs Sim have the above defects

[@ErebosGR]

I've always found Neural DSP's IRs very underwhelming. Compressed, overprocessed, artificial-sounding.
Ownhammer, York Audio, and Seacow Cabs definitely sound more accurate.

@@ErebosGR I've realized that a well done IR is more realistic, defined and dinamic in response and less compressed and sizzle than the Cab Sim block...the other defect of Cab Sim is that gives more gain and sparkling result than the Amp capture, with York Audio IR I've solved this QC limit

The formula is really simple.
Nice IR + Nice Capture = The Sound.
That's all.

@@TheUrblaike their weight to get the realistic result are 50:50 %, I agree with you.
In the demo I've used the QC Amp modelers...JCM800 and Soldano Slo100 modelers in the QC are at the same level of the captures...while Plexi and Twin Reverb are less accurate than the captures
