If your goal is to sample a guitar cab only, then ideally you should use a relatively neutral amplifier. Guitar amps tend to be anything but neutral, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Same goes with the mic used and the audio interface preamp. The color added to the tone can work to one's advantage. As always, just experiment to see what works and what doesn't.

The amp settings won't have any impact on the tone. Use the effect loop return, and it MAY even bypass master volume. If you go through the input, it'll sound very bad.
If you need to control volume, just turn it down in Cubase or something.

Shit I tried it and it was insanely loud. I hope this doesn't blow the speakers. Using the effects loop return on my amp definitely bypasses the master volume. Is the test tone supposed to be so loud? All the guitars in my room were playing an open chord from the volume of air movement. I'm using the Nat2 sampler directly btw.

Yeah, it IS that loud, but it doesn't HAVE to be that loud. If you're using the NAT sampler directly, lower the gain. See if you can do like -30 on the gain before you push sample. If you do offline sampling, what I do is go to Cubase and lower the volume of the sine sweep track to between -30db and -60db, depending on the amp I'm using.
Alright I have my impulses ready. The signal chain was a Steinberg MR816-X to a modified Presonus Eureka pre-amplifier. I recorded the top left speaker of the Mesa/Boogie 4x12 cabinet. The amplifier was a modified Crate Blue Voodoo. One 'program' is with a SM57 microphone centered on the speaker an inch away from the grille, the other is an Audio-Technica ATM25 in the same position.
These were captured using Nat2 so I think they will only work in Nebula registered copies. The programs will be located in the "REV" category in the Nebula browser.

And here is a sound clip, I think I clipped the main bus for a second on the left guitar

Thanks for sharing SimonSez!
I made a short clip with Programs form AE (LA610 421 1), Metaltastic (Mesa 57 3) and SimonSez (sm57).
Gear was RG2027x -> OD808 -> Mesa Studio Pre -> Onyx Satellite. Only EQ is the Mesa built in.

They all sound different but great to me. Since there is no bass I can't really say which one works best in a mix.
I have an old and shitty Cab - maybe I'll try to mic it just for fun and to compare the Nebula prog vs the real cab.

Sounds great to me. A little fizzy, but nothing a little EQ couldn't take care of. Thanks for the program!

From what I can hear on the clips this is definitely the most advanced cab program yet. Awesomely promising stuff.
Now where's poida!!??

Yo, if you have MSN, AIM, or Yahoo, send me a PM with your messenger name, and we can talk about your program and sampling method and stuff.

You should do this. I'm most interested in having more Neb vs Cab comparisons, because it was easy for me to NOT have accuracy with sampling, so I feel like it's something everyone should be testing.
Finally I tried nebula and your progs AE and freaking HUGE thank you for your efforts and shearing the results.

These are definitely quality. I gotta say, my nebula cab library is really not too shabby right now and it really only gets better from here.
Hey I don't use any IM programs, You can send me a PM if you have any questions or suggestions.
I'm going to upgrade to NAT3 and the CoreII engine soon. I don't get why the CoreII isn't a free upgrade for Nebula3+NAT2 owners.
With my Cubase 5 session with four guitar tracks and six instances of Nebula running I'm at 75% CPU usage. That's just with four tracks and that's it. I think I'm going to have to do a lot of bouncing to get a song done. The new 5088 mix buss and mixer programs they have on the acustica site are the best thing I have heard from Nebula so far. I'm guessing it's a sampled Neve 5088 console and it really adds a lot of lower end harmonics that make a session sound much more natural so to speak.
