Cliff (about matching the amp models in firmware 6): "The speaker was not part of the equation. The benefit to this technique is that the cabinet is completely separated. "Profiling" lumps the speaker IR with the amplifier output IR since linear functions are not separable. That's why those products don't work well when you try to run into a power amp and conventional guitar cab. You don't really want to use a load box though, if you can help it. A real speaker is a much more realistic load. All you need is a DI box that can handle speaker level signals. You don't even really need a DI box. All you need is a resistive divider to knock the voltage down to line level. I have a simple little box that just has some resistors and a pot to reduce the level which I then send to Input 2."

Features

Added in firmware 6. It This allows sampling a reference tone “fingerprint” and matching the user’s tone to that sound.

IR export and sharing

The sampled data in the Tone Match block can be converted into an user cabinet IR.

Tone matching real amps
