I know people are already doing this, so it’s a moot point. Bommel was saying in another thread That he profiles using a Two Notes Torpedo. In that sense, the Two Notes has a proprietary IR format. Would using these be less bad than a static IR?
Also, just by virtue of the way my loadbox interacts with the IR, the resultant cabinet section is nothing like the original cabinet. Also add the fact that the Kemper’s own cabinet section responds better than an IR after you create it. And it is also possible to blend multiple IRs to create a unique cabinet that desn’t exist in the real world.
Reading the T&C of many IR makers as well, it doesn’t appear to bar the use of the IRs for this purpose. So it is not illegal.
What I am trying to find out is if there is a mortal hazard to any of this. After all, guys are pirating commercial profiles and people buy them too, obviously. This doesn’t seem as bad as piracy *to me*, but I wouldn’t want to pass off others’ work as my own.
In that respect, would full disclosure suffice? Investors seen a few profiles created using IRs that have been well received, such as:
These were well-regarded profiles, but it appears the user just smacked commercial IRs into the cabinet section using cab maker.. I think.
When I found out, I deleted the profiles on my own machine, but other users obviously didn’t see fit to.
So that just makes me feel really conflicted about whether I am just being too obtuse about this whole thing.
