That's certainly the camp I fit into, though I've had that experience with every single one of the hundred odd cab IRs I've tried. I simply find it's impossible to get a good quality professional tone via IRs of the likes of Nickelback's 'All the Right Reasons', Breaking Benjamin's 'Phobia', Killswitch Engage's 'End of Heartache', In Flames' 'Clayman' etc. etc. I've used a lot more EQ than is healthy to get IRs to sit cohesively in the mix, yet they never seem to sound alive unless you hide their flaws via quad tracking, or even more.
I think it's really fantastic about your work ethic. Phase aligning all these impulses was a great move and gives users way more tonal options. Do you have any plans to keep going, or expand your operation in case some more modern sampling technologies become readily available?
