That Don Bronco 15 is my go to for dirt.
I'll have to check the DB15 with dirt; the Fridge is also good with overdriven tones!
The JFA Capo is on my 'lustlist'.
Thanks for getting in touch - regarding a degree of standardisation between cabs, sadly this is an impossible feat - simply due to the nature of our capture process - when you purchase a DynIR, you are actually getting mic, preamp and cab captures from a recording session in a studio we have selected - a lot of users actually think we use modelling for our mic models, but they are in fact captures of the cabinet using a specific mic in a myriad of positions around a cabinet - this then has to be actioned for each mic you see in the drop down list (a long process I am sure you can see!). As such, going back to the studio, placing the cab in the exact same position and recreating all desk positions is practically impossible from our side. Nonetheless, for future bass captures, I have added this as a user request!
I can definitely see the method madness in getting at least one static mic in the bunch when doing something like you discribe. Even if other mics could be superior for various reasons.Thanks for getting in touch - regarding a degree of standardisation between cabs, sadly this is an impossible feat - simply due to the nature of our capture process - when you purchase a DynIR, you are actually getting mic, preamp and cab captures from a recording session in a studio we have selected - a lot of users actually think we use modelling for our mic models, but they are in fact captures of the cabinet using a specific mic in a myriad of positions around a cabinet - this then has to be actioned for each mic you see in the drop down list (a long process I am sure you can see!).

No worries at all. The process is indeed a complicated one and I have been on a fair few sessions now - the results are definitely worth the process though IMHO!I can definitely see the method madness in getting at least one static mic in the bunch when doing something like you discribe.

Daunting with a capital 'D' for sure!Thanks for getting in touch - regarding a degree of standardisation between cabs, sadly this is an impossible feat - simply due to the nature of our capture process - when you purchase a DynIR, you are actually getting mic, preamp and cab captures from a recording session in a studio we have selected - a lot of users actually think we use modelling for our mic models, but they are in fact captures of the cabinet using a specific mic in a myriad of positions around a cabinet - this then has to be actioned for each mic you see in the drop down list (a long process I am sure you can see!).

Ha! Indeed! You also detest the sound of sine sweeps at the end of it!
The aural equivalent of seasickness I imagine!Ha! Indeed! You also detest the sound of sine sweeps at the end of it!
Ha! Close indeed! I have to space out my capture sessions to about 2 a year!
I gave a serious look at the Zio in my shopping for a tone machine, before deciding on the Opus.Well...there has been a change in plans for the board and OPUS #2 joining #1 on the signal chain.
It's true, there has been some juggling going on in my gourd, it happens sometimes...OPUS, CanvasStereo OR the Source Audio ZIO Bass?
I have decided that ZIO Bass will be the end of my dry signal chain. The wet duties will remain with the undefeated world heavyweight champion...
OPUS MAXIMUS!
(Just to share; I won a pedal from SA on Friday connected to the Nuero Editor 3 UI "SoundCheck" feature where you can listen to pedals with clips in real-time. Random drawing from 4K comments, on each days pedal released presets over 14 days, with a pedal-a-day give-a-way.) (ZIO Bass was not in the pedal promotion as it is all analog.)
I think that this makes the most sense...YMMV
In the end, at this point, having an option for an all analog signal path without a Cab Sim (IR) is a benefit.
I 100% agree here on the non-cab sim signal path - I actually use the Line Out Routing Mode to send a dry feed from my OPUS which usually gets used as a blend source when using more gainy tones!In the end, at this point, having an option for an all analog signal path without a Cab Sim (IR) is a benefit.
I've owned ZIO Bass over time in the journey. I would not make the same choice if it were the only one. That would absolutely be the OPUS. In fact, I went from ZIO Bass to the C.A.B. M+ then to OPUS.
