I’ve been mixing the MAR-TV with the AV or the Friedman together and putting in the Orange for some extra thick low/low mids as a go-to. Its crazy how easy and fast it is to dial in head splitting tones!

[smeemusic]

Idk what it is about this particular pack but it certainly perked my ears right up. Definitely going to be picking this up. This will be my first ggd product.

[ArchProjectionMusic]

I came here for the review I know I can always trust. Thanks for the insight! This helps me make the decision if I'll be picking this up.

The Mar-TV and AV have been my favorites for the rhythm tone so far. Honestly, probably one of my favorites in the GGD IR lineup. Overall, all of their IRs work in different ways and can make it fit in different ways.

[FrancescoFiligoi]

Your videos always make me very happy ❤ Thanks for being part of this release!

The riffage is just ever so sick, good sir

[PereRevert]

Fantastic video review Jon, already bought it... what's annoying is the volume drop when solo one of the cabinets. Also have all the other GGD Studio Cabs plugins and all of them have that same "issue". Sometimes that keeps me away from using them against any other IR loader solutions. Such a shame they are not concerned about fixing this. The product is excellent.

These sound cool but I’m 100% happy with my Ownhammer Rock Box packs. I have the Lynch, Scumback, EVH and Vintage 30. I’m in Dad Rock heaven. 😂👍

[kennyparker]

I have all GGD cabs. But this one i think is a little bit bright

[joeywilder]

How do these compare to the Rockbox IRs ? I’ve considered getting 1 of the GGD plugins just to have the option to blend in a room mic with my favorite IRs even if I don’t like theirs as much. I’ve heard the room mics in the gold pack was really good

PLEASE! GGD contenders vs ML Reflex Cabs
