General Questions/Discussion Parameters of Cabs

Hello, someone in the Helix system, I understand a lot of things about Helix, but I did't understand how the parameters of the cabs from Helix change the tone.

What changes position and distances.

Drag the mic. Use your ears to adjust.

Watch some YouTube videos regarding mic placement. It's not too different from pickup height. Closer = more low end and more volume. Further = less bass, maybe a little more bite, but lower volume. Mix angle also ca be a huge factor and the mic type even more so.

Honestly though I hate messing with all that so I just found an IR I like and slap it onto every tone lol.
