AE's Nebula thread (samples, tests, etc)

Doing some Mesa 412FB samples today. I'm not totally sure what this cab exactly is. It's slant, pretty sure it's oversized. I think it's got V30s inside. I'll find out.

Edit: My mistake. 412FB. Corrected.

2dit: Holy shit these are turning out great.
 
Okay, guys. Get a load of those fucking Mesa programs. Especially the I5 pack.

Also, I've done matching impulses for the static crowd.

Edit: Also, I've updated the main post for a little easier navigation. I've got big ol' headers separating cabinets.

Wow, that's a tremendous amount of work you're going through there. Thanks!

So I've done a comparative impulse vs Neb clip here and can anyone please tell me why it sounds like the Nebula signal sounds like it has a lot of the dry signal mixed in? I've checked all parameters and there should be nothing but wet... anyway hear it for yourselves:

I think that might actually be the issue at hand with Nebula sounding generally crispier. There's got to be a parameter somewhere.

With that in mind, when I use TSS + Wagner 0.6, by simply rolling back the hi, I get a very good tone.

I also use the Doc Fear pack to drop hi sometimes. I kind of like a lot of hi and upper mid in my tone, Marshall's got a good quality in that area. But when it's not exactly the tone I'm going for, I like the Doc Fear pack. It's ridiculously smooth, and free to Nebula 3 owners.
 
Ah yeah. It's just strange - I made sure to compare all your Nebula programs to their corresponding impulses and they were consistently brighter but always in an unpleasant and harsh way. Should they differ so much from each other? I keep getting the feeling that something is off on my end that I'm absolutely unaware of. Could it be Neb 2 with its 32-bit processing?

It could be. You've heard my comparisons, I'm sure, and they're not that far off. The detail is much more in-depth with Nebula 3, dominates any given static impulse.

I was considering this thought today: If you had 3 or 4 tracks of the same signal, but sidechained each other in some way, and had 3 or 4 separate impulses of varying intensities (one on each track), could you effectively recreate dynamics?
