Going back to Cabs again is a nice move. The Profiler is made for this.
However, before switching, did you try the new Pure Cabinet function?
It will significantly improve the perceived sound quality when using linear speakers and eliminate the "harsh-trebly-jingle bells" effect. (Which is the perfect description for the close mic effect.It would be great if you could give a feedback about Pure Cabinet on this thread.
Yes, I did try the Pure Cab function and its a great improvement ,
What I personaly don't like are the high's with FRFR , a guitar cab doesn't do this ( there are no tweeters in a guitar cab of course )
And I can dial the high's and presence out in the monitor EQ, but when the're gone, its sounding a bit flubby and unpronounced to me
