I think the cab has a more pronounced effect on the final tone than the amp. Each time you mic it, the sound varies a lot.
yep it’s all about the cab and how it’s miced, it’s 90% of the sound IMO, this is where I hope the Kabinet will shine, so gassed, you find the right speaker for your monitor, find an equivelant IR for FOH, in theory this should provide as good as it gets.
Back on track the quad sounds interesting but it may be years before we have a complete solution .
