Always play like this, well 90% of the time anyway.
I've also found that at bedroom levels my Helix into the return of my amp sounds better with the ir or cab block switched on. If I switch it off it sounds tinny through my 1x12.must be something to do with not moving much air. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Mertay,
When I said "tinny", I meant it sounds very thin, no bass, and kind of hollow like when you talk into an empty tin can. I'm talking of volume levels that you can talk over. That's why I think, but your experience far outweighs mine, that the Celestion V30 speaker isn't being worked at all which is why the ir sounds so much better, the real life cab is acting in the same way as the studio monitors, reproducing the ir sound of a speaker cab being pushed hard. What do you think? I can put my SM57 on for you to hear the difference. At least with my wireless I can take the guitar into another room so the mic doesn't pic up anything other than the speaker.

I used to do that, but these days I have mic'ed up my Laney IronHeart, and I think it sounds just a bit more "warm" than plugins.

I'm thinking though, the ir or cab sim is replicating a cab at decent volume levels and a Todd said, his monitors sound like a cranked amp and cab in the another room. That's why I don't think I'll ever get that through my cab at low volumes without the ir or cab sim switched on, it's just not moving enough air whereas with the ir or cab sim on, it is behaving like a big studio monitor.
I hope I'm mahjong sense. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Yeah I will do buddy, as soon as I get chance
 I'm just thinking that what happens at very low volume is the equal opposite of what happens when people leave the ir on when playing at high volume??

Nice one Ben,
I can play as loud as I like as we have no house attached at either side but my wife would be uncomfortable with it  Plus the neighbours would be able to hear it in their garden and that would embarrass me  Ok Mertay, for some reason, I plug in tonight and the drastic difference isn't there that was there last time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a read through what you asked me to do anyway, even though I'm not getting the same issue as before and it seems that I wouldn't be able to do what you wanted me to. I was, at the time, preferring the sound through the cab WITH the ir on, it was not so good with the ir off, therefore I wouldn't be able to use high cut to get the sound I prefer because I would be altering what I already like. If it was the other way around and I didn't like the sound with the ir then I could make high cut adjustments. Sorry about this buddy, I'll try again at the weekend, maybe I had some crazy setting inadvertently switched on  Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
