Is there a way to emulate a power amp before a cab?
I was running helix in a 4CM last night, which sounded awesome. I wanted to try and run direct to the PA too, so split the signal at end of path two so one line went 1/4 to fx return, and a second went via cab emulation to XLR. It just didn't sound right, I ended up running 4CM with a parallel path of amp block > cab > XLR. whilst it sounded good after a bit of tweaking, I'd still like to be able to use the pre-amp of my actual head to feed PA.
is there a way to emulate the power amp stage of the amp, without getting into reactive loads > aux input method?
Otherwise you could stick HK redbox inline and take a DI off that
No power amp only (unlike the Amplifire)
So there is no way to insert the pre-amp of your amp into say KT88 modelled poweramp
Having said that. A good clean amp model is functionally close enough and gives you a bit of EQ
I put a request up on the ideascale to add a virtual FX loop to the amp models or add power amp only models to get round this, not sure if it's on the to-do-list
2.20's feature complete and been in beta for about a week and a half now.

I may have mentioned it elsewhere, but Ben and Sam are neck-deep on models for 2.30. No clue when it'll drop.
So, more models in 2.30 later too :-)
I hadn't quite understood the 'IR wormhole"... just looked at the ownhammer heavy hitters pack, which has gone some of my favourite cabs in....9186 individual files of cab,speaker,mic blends.
Holy mother of fuck, that's a lot of minute differences on similar sounds!
unless you are an obsessive twiddler those suggested options (some of which are mixes of cabinets/mics that they think work well) are as far as you need to rummage.
Also as well as organising them by bitrate/duration etc they also replicate them in to folders named for the modellers that that format is for, making it easy to only download the formats you need if you want to (you could of course download them all and use the 'best' bitrate ones in your computer for example too, and all files are available under your OH login for future retrieval)
For fewer options, look at 3Sigma which the guy from thehelixchannel on Youtube uses in all his presets
I've looked through the folder structure they have on there that makes it more manageable,
I thought an IR pack, would be more like A cab with set speakers and maybe 50 blends of various mics and placements!
Those people are all men who have never seen a vagina.
Ownhammer use a numbering system of 00 to 10 with 00 being brightest and each higher number being progressively darker. They do this per mic, and also per blend of mics/cabs/speakers etc.
As noted by @TimmyO 3 sigma tend to do fewer options. The packs of theirs I have are just 5 positions, with A and B poweramps (one is valve one is solid state, you'd probably use the solid state if using full Helix models). It's not noted what mics are used for each IR other than it's a blend of the mics in the manual. I've only got some of their bass packs but they sound pretty decent.
Redwirez tends to list mic, position, and distance, so for example SM57 cone 2 inches. My guess is these are less user friendly for someone who isn't experienced with mic positioning.
Celestion Plus list the mic and use descriptive words like balanced, dark, bright etc.
Have you got any native glass for the a6500? Looking to get one this week.
