IR Modeling: Cuki IR with NUX Optima Air is a phenomenal combo

Was comparing sounds through the amp and recorded a video. The mic on this phone is pretty bad, in person it sounds a lot better. The Manouche Mic sounds so much better now with the modified ZT Acoustic. And I was surprised how nice it sounds to simply load the IR file of a vintage mic.

First is Manouche Mic made by Jokko

then IR of Neumann U87, used Cuki IR online code

lastly IR file of Gaumont Kalee (spelling mistake on the video is the phone auto correct) 1492 ribbon microphone, loaded into the Optima Air

I don't think the acoustic guitar direct sound is a part of what you hear because the phone is right in front of the amp and I was some 10 ft back.

Tip:

The sound can vary a lot between listening through the headphones and the amp. Also some of the weird artifact noise can be a lot more present on the amp, surprisingly. I'd think it would come more through the headphones. Plug into the amp and bring it to a decent level, not concert loud but more than a whisper. Then, while connected to the NUX software bring the IR volume (not the IR level from the pedal section) down to the level where most of these artifacts are gone. This will in turn bring the amp level down but now you can turn up the volume on the amp and the weird noise will still be gone.
