Singtall,just for curiosity,can you play the same riffs on the 11r with epsi and the same ir used for amplifire just to get an idea? Are you going to do an amplifire superpack?

i have the Epsi boxed up for sale, so i wasn't planning on doing anything with it. but what i learned from using that IR with the AmpliFire is that the IR didn't bring it closer in tone as much as i thought it would....it still took a bunch of eq and then it still wasn't quite there.
i will probably do an AmpliFire superpack if the demand is there.

I liked the cleaner parts on the first/gain was good. Second I loved the gainy parts/cleaner parts were okay. Last part was congested cleaner/solid but noisy gain (and solid as in "direct" sounding/hard to describe as good or bad in a mix but didn't like it solo'd).
Reading through, I wasn't sure which was which modeler any more but I thought the first time I heard it before that it went 11/Axe/AF...

this is the IR i started with. it was a little bass heavy, so i eq'd it. Cliff from fractal asked me to pull the link for my IR because it sounded to close to the Fractal cab 103...so i removed it.
this is the link to the cabinet Fremen claims to have made:
Just out of curiosity (not picking) why did you replay your riff 3 times rather than just re-amp? I suspect the 11R clip could be more dynamic maybe? Maybe it's the rig settings, but I think the 11R can go from clean to scream with just the volume knob similar to the 1st clip.

can't reamp with the amplifire via usb. i would have had to do too much recabling to run it through the other units.
i know the 11R can do better cleaning up because i have a ton of presets that do that, but this was about getting a Friedman tone...which was not a fair test for anything but the axe-fx II.
I dont get the fractal remove thing,you made an ir by yourself and they asked you to remove it because it sound similar to one of their irs? Didn't know there was a "frequency copyright " 😂

I don't know for myself but I have heard that Cliff guy is a JERK.... that really is lame for him to do that. you are a stand up guy for doing it even though it wasn't his stuff.
as far as the clip goes #2 sounds just as good as #1 and the 11r sounds kind "lack luster" here. I to would like to have heard the EPSI in play as well.
is that link is the ir you used for the clip?

test part 2:
to be more fair...this time i simply picked a typical 80's setup using the JCM800/Tubescreamer/25watt and used the same amp settings across all units. i had to use cabinet bottom boost to the AmpliFire stock IR because it did sound very thin without it, but it's still a fair test of what's in the box without adding eq or IR.
