Hi! I haven’t tried the video setup yet. I’d like to confirm in advance if it would have any limitations using the IR-x as an Insert into H90. Also, I think that I would lose the capability of managing the insert, right? My setup would be 100% dependent on the IR-x. I wouldn’t be able to bypass it as I’m able with this routing that I’m doing. Yes, sure, I’m considering the guitar/pickups and etc… but, actually, it sounds really different. I’m sure that is not related to the guitar, as I’m not using any other FX or post processing. This video triggered that I could sound a lot better with the setup that I have. Thanks!
Since the person in the video is going straight into the IR-X and then to the H90, make sure to position the Insert at the beginning of the H90 chain, so the first thing the guitar sees is the IR-X preamp. To answer your questions directly, there should be no difference with either method. In fact, here’s another very talented YouTuber using your routing: https://youtu.be/V1Dx0Mkpmdo?t=276&si=6I96zTE9rHy54TiF
As to why it’s sounds different, it could be that the player is not using stock settings. Perhaps they’ve edited the Programs to exaggerate the sound in some way. Maybe they are using a different IR, model, or SIM. Are you using series or parallel routing in your configuration of Presets? Also, are you connecting the outputs of the H90 to instrument inputs of your audio interface or are they line level -10 dB inputs? If your entire signal chain is setup for instrument level but you’re connecting to line level inputs, there’s an impedance mismatch happening and you may need to adjust the operating levels of the H90. Most likely, though, it’s just custom settings that are rendering different results.
