Just one question to you guys using Revalver, are you making sure to turn off the power tube in the amp in Revalver, as the impulses already have poweramp simulation on them?
Steve, I actually questioned other people's methods with that as well. At first it made sense to me to turn the power section off or just use the preamp modules since the power section is captured in the impulses. But, I have noticed, through tons of experimentation, that it almost always sounds better using the power section of the ampsim in conjunction with what is captured in the impulses. It's a lot fuller and meaty, IMO. I can do a comparison tonight, using the same preamp settings, etc., but one clip using just preamp module into RIR and one using the full amp module into RIR.

Yeah, just sounds overly bassy to me when both poweramp sections are used, but it's personal preference I guess.
Kazrog, can I get some help please! Regarding the upgrade to 1.04.
There is no way to contact you regarding your business and your product, which is why I am posting here. Here's the problem:
1. In order to upgrade, you are requiring a "registered email" and password. What registered email? Are you requiring purchasers to register for forum membership on your site? If it is the email I used when I purchased the product, that's fine, but what password am I supposed to use??
2. I cannot join the Recabinet forums b/c the confirmation code is not displaying and when I try to send the forum administrator an email, the link provided (info@recabi.net) gets bounced back as undeliverable!
3. Your site contains no email link for customer service and it appears the only way to get support from your company is by joining the forums which I cannot do b/c there is no confirmation code displaying!! I have tried three separate browsers (IE, Firefox, and Safari).
Can I get some help please!

I've noticed some strange things with this update as well.
When I want to take a visual look at an impulse without influencing it with a guitar signal / amp sim I like to use Christian Budde's VstPluginAnalyser. I believe it uses pink noise as it's internal test tone.
It allows you to load any plugin and look at things like the harmonic distortion generated and the current frequency response amongst other things.
The impulse software used in this test was SIR2.
What I've found is that the Damien mic positions and Ghandi mic positions are identical to each others frequency response with just a small shift in the sub lows. I'm thinking there may have been a mix up with the files when deconvolving.

There are actually two ways to contact support: through the Recabinet support forum, and via email.
1) By "registered email" we mean the email address you used when purchasing Recabinet. The password is your receipt code, and there is a forgotten password link you can use if you lost that.
2) There appears to be a problem with captcha codes on the forum. It's being investigated now, in the meantime we've turned off the captcha codes. The email issue has also been resolved.
3) There is an email address for customer support, however it's not listed on the public website for anti-spam reasons (it is however, listed in the download pages for registered owners.) We will be setting up a contact form soon to field email requests, in the mean time we have been using the support forum to handle any customer issues. In the mean time, the "info@" address has been fixed so that it actually gets to us (this address never existed, during a forum software upgrade the captcha became broken and our customer service email got changed.)
Try using the forgotten password link to get your receipt code to log into the members' area. Very sorry for the inconvenience!
alright, so i busted out a riff and made a little test clip of v.1.04 in action...this is with the ghandi 6L6 i5 edge impulse

devouredremains - in spite of extensive testing, it appears that at the last minute, the wrong files have indeed ended up in the distribution of both the demo and the full version on our server. An update will be posted ASAP for both. As it turns out, both sets the "Damien" and "Ghandi" impulses in the demo are in fact the "Damien" cabinet only at the moment. 
Very sorry about this, I can't believe this got out this way, we are working on the updated file distribution right now and I will post when it is ready (later today)! Thanks so much for discovering this file mixup!!

Haha, yeah. Sounds awesome - but the biggest bummer here is that the Ghandi cabinet in this release is my personal favorite for br00talz, and you guys can't even hear it yet.

To be clear, though, these are definitely the 1.04 impulses, so they are the "right" files in the sense I meant in the first post. However, having two identical cabinets in the distro was definitely a big mistake. At the end of the day there's 3 people working on different aspects of this product, and I'm doing most of the work myself in terms of the actual impulses, so I take the blame completely, since I put the file hierarchy together.

Fancy a pint? Or two?

Props. Thanks for taking responsibility and not cowering behind some lame excuse! Glad you're doing what you're doing and taking the time to make it right.
FIXED! There were serious enough problems with the 1.04 release to warrant a 1.05 release. 1.05 is out now, get it using the same links as before. Sorry for the problems, the library works perfectly now, enjoy the massiveness of GHANDI finally!

From first test, I think the Ghandi 412 sounds pretty good. But after reading the ReValver discussion about using the amp with the power section included or the preamp only, I can't decide what is correct! It really alters the sound a LOT! Kazrog, what's your suggestion? Also, do you suggest any type of particular EQ curve after the convolution processor to cut certain high and low frequencies? If so what frequencies should be trimmed to get the most authentic sound. Good job. PS... Don't let the 1.04 fiasco happen again!
