I really like the high and low cut in the IR page, use it a lot. Now when I use a capture of a full stack (amp+cab) I obviously don’t engage the IR, thus missing out on the high and low cut options there.
What if….
I shoot an “idle IR” so where I connect the Nano to itself, so output 2R goes directy into capture input?
Will this result in an IR that has absolutely no effect on the sound whatsoever, but when engaged gives me the opportunity to use the high and low cut when playing a full stack capture?
Or will connecting the nano to itself create a black hole or some freaky time-dilation? (Just kidding).
Anybody ever tried this? Or, even better, is there an other solution this buffoon might be overlooking at the moment?
My first post here, new to the Cortex clan. Dutch guitarplayer who’s been around for some decades, nice to meet you all.

FOUND A “NULL-CAB IR” ON THE WEB. WORKS! GOOD TO GO NOW, “PROBLEM” SOLVED.

Nope. A null-cab just takes away all the sound. So back to the drawingboard/original question… 
How about disabling the IR Loader and use an EQ in the first post fx slot? The “Low-High Cut” eq has very similar controls as the IR Loader eq and gain section.
Thanx for your reply, much appreciated.
100% true! But I like to eq after the amp, basically feeding the amp as much frequencies as possible to work with. If the EQ could be moved from pre to post, that would do it.
The signal chain on the Nano Cortex has 5 effect slots. 2 pre and 3 post. So you can have eq in the first post effect slot directly after the amp capture slot.
ABSOLUTELY! How the h@#$ did I miss that. Maybe because I’m part human part buffoon sometimes. This is what I was looking for. Serves me right for not RTFM……..
Thank Lars Erik, I’m good now! Cheers!

would be cool if someone could figure out a FRFR IR so we can just use a transparent IR to leverage the block’s gain, HPF and LPF instead of resorting to using a dedicated FX block to achieve the same.
I’ve read that in theory you can use an uncolored mic as well but I think if wanting a true FRFR IRone could generate this from code and not actually need to capture anything, no?
Well, I gave it a go I now have made such an IR, and allthough very neutral when it comes to the frequencies, it needs a volume boost because it will gobble up some Db’s when engaged. So still a work in progress…..
