14 IR CAPTURE
ƒ
The tone you get from a mic’d speaker depends on the type(s) and position(s) of the microphone(s).
Select a mic that is well-suited for guitar cab recording and position it according to your preference. Good
information is widely available about mic placement, distance, angle, etc., but don’t be afraid to experiment.
ƒ
Each mic needs to be connected to a preamp to bring the signal up to line level for processing.
The preamp also contributes to the tone, so a high-quality preamp (like an API or Neve) is generally
preferred, but even the preamp of an inexpensive mixer can produce excellent results.
ƒ
With an optional mixer, multiple microphones can be combined to produce
and capture a tone that blends their characteristics. Do not apply dynamics
processing (e.g. compression) as this will misrepresent the response.
METHOD 1 SETUP: MIC ONLY
Method 1 (“MIC ONLY”) requires a microphone, a preamp, and a flat, neutral power amp.
ƒ
Set up a preset with your preferred Amp block, and set its Cab block to “SCRATCHPAD 1” for instant auditioning.
ƒ
Connect the mic to the input of the preamp.
ƒ
Connect the output of the preamp (or mixer) to
INPUT 2 LEFT
of the Axe-Fx III.
ƒ
Connect
OUTPUT 2 LEFT
of the Axe-Fx III to the input of your power amp.
ƒ
Connect the power amp’s speaker out to your speaker.

NOTE: IRs created using this method will include any
tonal coloration imparted by the power amp. Cab-Lab
can remove this effect using a separate “Reference IR”
of just the power amp created using a speaker-level to
line-level DI, but if you have this DI-box at the time of
capture you might as well use “Method 2” (next page).
Follow the capture instructions on
p. 125 to perform the capture.
