A dedicated IR pedal can be a very useful tool in your kit | This one is priced right, with options
I pair the new @M-VAVE IR Box up with their Mini Amp pre amp pedal, as well as run through using it with a cheap Booster pedal as a Preamp with it. There are a number of ways to implement an IR Box into your guitar pedal rig, to save you from having to mic and haul a cabinet around. Pick your favorite IR, send it to the IR Box over BT or USB, and you're good to go!
Contents:
00:00 - 02:40 Intro to the IR Box
02:41 - 05:32 Running Tweed and Twin preamps into the first few cabs
05:33 - 06:41 Tweaks with Cut knobs and gain pedals
06:42 - 09:52 Trying drives into clean preamps with FREE @forwardaudio IR cabinets
09:53 - 11:23 SLO Preamp pushed with BE style OD into ForwardAudio cabs
11:24 - 13:20 Using a cheap booster pedal as a preamp and adding drives (this rules)
13:21 -15:24 Final thoughts and outro

Thanks man! And yes, grab one! I saw it for $28 on Ali today. Definitely a good tool to have. 🤙🏻
Interesting pedal i think this one might be in pedalboard after it available in my country. Alr hv the mini amp and dig reverb from mvave and it works well
Great video by the way! Amazing playing!

@@DoubleDguitar respectfully, better to invest in IR BOX than Sonicake. The IR BOX has several more features and costs less. I believe that with new updates it will get even better.

Oh, that’s a score of a price! You’re welcome and I hope you dig it. Def add some other IRs to it. The free ones from Forward Audio are really good.
Hi, if i want to play live whitout my combo. I have a pedalbord with an always on overdrive. Do I need another pedal or device to plug my guitar direct into a mixer? Thank you!

@@user-mt9zm6yv1c hey buddy, you would want a preamp type pedal between the od and the cabinet pedal. The OD will sound good as a preamp, but I have found that even a $20 booster with gain, volume, bass and treble will work great as an always on preamp and set the gain pretty clean. The three together will work great, esp once you find a cabinet sound you like.
Awesome pedal, just got me one. I just don't know how to put it on bypass mode. Mine is on number 1 cab when turning on

Right on, it is great. I think it is both the buttons at once? I just woke up and would need to go check, which I can do when I actually get up soon. But I think both at once for bypass.
How did you manage to load your custom (3th party ir) files if files from this pedals are in complete different format? This particular pedal has .ibx files Ir extension. Impulse response (IR) files are usually waveform files (.wav) extensions.

Hola. Gracias por tu video. Compré este pedal para conectarlo tras mi multiefectos Zoom G3xn, que no permite cargar IRs y llevarlo directo a la consola. Hablas en tu video de que le cargaste IRs gratuitos que conseguiste. Por favor, ¿puedes poner enlaces para poder descargarlos?

Indeed 🤔 I’m trying to build a mini board, wanted something like this ir box taking only one pedal spot for amp emulation you know? I own the nux amp academy, it’s great but takes a lot of room, and I play Shoegaze so pedal real estate is really important 😅 if this thing could take preamp sims inside it’d be a dream come true
