in all my time so far messing with amps sims trying to get the "mic'd cab sound", i realized that, i have never listened to a mic'd cab.

Of course ive heard albums with mic'd cabs (lol), and i have even heard clips of what a soloed mic'd cab, but ive never LISTENED to the characteristics of a mic'd cab. Its like blind leading the blind (in this case myself). I made three clips in about 30 minutes of what i think it should sound close to be.

i know the basics of amp sim mixing (HP, LP, impulses etc) and even some more. The chain for all these clips was TSS, TSE X30 and kefir. (using GH impulse on one, catharsis on another and i forgot what the other was).

The bus chain was as follows: REQ 6 band eq, C4 (sneap preset to tame low end), Curve EQ.

I do have ALOT of plugins cause i bought my comp off a friend who is an engineer. i have waves, nomad factory and a mix of randoms (such as voxengo among others). Any tips on making a better more natural sounding tone? Also anyone have any clips of an incredible guitar tone solo'd? (just for reference)
