Re: Real amps vs modelling and plugin amps

Is it just me, after until a few months ago using only plugin amps and modelling amps for a couple of years, I think any amp, including cheap amps like my Marshall MG100HCFX I got years ago and only used once as I didn't think it sounded very good when I got it, sounds much better. Just to be clear, by better I primarily mean the way the amp reponse to how I play, also kind of how it sounds though
I could be wrong, but it could be that setting up good IRs and EQing is what you're missing (when using plugins). Also another thing to note is most IRs are static, so there's no "speaker" response, but I think Celestion has dynamic IRs that might have different feel to them, more realistic? Generally speaking when researching in-the-box guitar tone, I've notice that big part of it is IR, EQ and having appropriate input-gain level on DAC input. At least these are the things I'm struggling with.
