Best Two Notes 810?

I realise that 'best' is a loaded word, but you get what you're given!

I just picked up a used Torpedo CAB M and the only 'fridge' it came with is a 910 (Fridge 9), which weirds me out. I'd like something more traditional, though the store has three options to choose from. Typical that I have to buy the industry standard IR and you get the whacky one for free!

Fridge, by Two Notes
Mothership, by Bommel
Big Bang, by Bommel

These can be tried, but my amp is currently at a rehearsal place and I want to run this after my V4B so it wouldn't be a fair representation anyway. My aim is to use this unit as a DI when playing live to get proper power amp distortion and without giving the sound guy an aneurism when I suggest we mic the cab.

Does anyone have any experience with these? My gut tells me that I'd like the Mothership since it looks my old school, but the Fridge has an RE20 IR!

Thanks!

Hi Tedd,

Ross from Two notes here! Personally i gravitate towards the Mothership DynIR - however I do have some other suggestions:
Ministry D Amour Peg 810 Origin - Two notes - This is one of my go-to's simply because the capture here was impeccable
Bommel Peggy 810 Big Bang - Two notes - great for a well rounded tone, loads of punch to boot!
Grindhouse Blackbird 215 Origin - Two notes - not exactly what you were looking for but a secret weapon on my side!
https://www.two-notes.com/en/product/don-broco-peggy-210-custom/ - again, might not be up your street but I was there for this capture and use it all the time for live work!

If you've got any questions, let me know! :)
