For the past two years I've had a living situation where I couldn't play guitar at all, and now I do, but in that time I continued building up the mountainous stock pile of endless IRs and amp sims from the sister site as well as countless profiles for Neural Amp Modeler and quite a few for Tonex as well.

Any tips for organizing all of these and wading through them efficiently to get to what you want, etc? I'm finding my jam sessions bogged down by endless tone chasing. I am starting to delete IRs and NAMs that don't click quickly.

Also any tips for dealing with how every IR company seems to have different standards for their IRs? I've deleted all but 48kHz IRs and that definitely helped trim the fat, but still they're all at different times and volumes and such that it's annoying.

(Bonus question: who's using Tonex effectively from sister site out there nowadays? I use R2R everything but I've seen that TCD will load some profiles shared that R2R's will not, dunno if I want to mix R2R and TCD IK Multimedia stuff, IDK.

If it matters at all, I'm not into heavy tones at all. Clean, crunch, edge of breakup, medium gain, etc.
