Great video but it makes me wish you had a video on how to create the weird effects (I assume with a Floyd Rose and whammy?)

Well flutter whammy video it is!

This plugin is a perfect example of the placebo effect and the fact that guitarists will buy into anything as long as there is a moderate level of hype behind it.

I checked the delta in Reaper and it definitely does something, like a fuzzy quality + harmonics but it is VERY subtle. I stacked multiple instances to hear better what it does. I don't think I need it at the moment. I'm not at a point where this makes or breaks the tone i got going, probably never will. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future though.

@@lenni-hazels would save the money for a Fractal FM3, so you'll never need this ;-)

I tried it and bought it a few minutes after testing. It's definitely more of a "feel" kind of thing. Even though there's a noticeable high-end boost, other frequencies in the spectrum also enhance. I use GGD's IRs. Even though they sound great on their own, adding this gives it that extra 5%. I leave it at default and calibrate it. Thankfully I'm in the middle of mixing my band's album, so it's gonna get added on to all of the bass and guitar tracks.

People call me crazy when i said IR always sounds static to me, now bogren release the IRDX and finally sounds right to me 😅 Thats why i like STL Tonehub mark lewis after all these years 😝

@ihateyourguts actually you are right, they have this since the first one knob amp.

I already wrote it on resingtons video, but this plugin is pretty underwhelming. When doing objective tests, meaning compensating for loudness (around 1.2 - 2dB, which can shift tonal perception big time), EQ matching, you will find that the plugin basically raises 150 Hz by ~0,5 dB, smacks in a narrow-Q 6-7.5 kHz up to 2.5 dB and then steeply notches down 12 kHz around the same (narrow Q, -2.5dB). If you null-test a rendered file with IRDX against the a rendered file with Loudness compensation and EQ match, there is no variance in the null-testing - it's always the same "amount of phase cancellation". What does this mean? That this plugin in itself acts very static and predictable, pretty much like an EQ, and not "super dynamic" and what else the marketing buzzwords are. It does make a difference, but its just like a well-placed, small EQ curve. 40$ for that is ridiculous. But, and that's where I grant Bogren a buy-out - it was the customer base that wanted this plugin so badly.

Agreed. For me it just sounds like nothing that Saturation or even a Tapesim can't do too.

This was always the problem with IR's, they sound very static, not really how a cab/mic set up works. You need that air movement, the cab speaker reacting to what you play into it, the microphone picking it up. This is a pretty cool solution, but there's an easy one you can do for free. Play your guitar parts out of your studio monitors and record that output with a mic. If you remove all the bass and low mids frequencies (which will cause mad phasing issues) and mix your original sound with the studio monitor recording it gives it the life it needs. Try it out!

For Me its something like Exciter (in top end) + Stereo Widener in One plugin :D

They also have the IRDX technology on their One Knob series plugins, it's stated on the plugin page. \m/

There’s definitely a subtle difference. Also works with bass and virtual bass into bass IR.

Wow It really adds some movements on the guitar track

I hear a few things for sure. First of all a slight perceived volume boost, high end boost, more bloom in the low mids/lows and more stereo spread. Not necesarily it being wider, but I hear more differences between the right and left channels, making it appear wider. Might have to pick this up!

It's okay, not a game changer in the mix. I do own the plugin and will use it BTW.

02:27 haha love that crazy floyd rose trick in that riff :) Reminds me of something Terrence Hobbs would do in Suffocation :)

Dude.. im feeling it! Gotta try this out asap.. it feels like added oomph and air but not with EQ moves.

Holly shit, that sound really good. Gotta try it

That section you were using to demo is insane man!!! 🤘🤘🤘

it honestly seems like what a Sonic Max would do in a guitar chain live. Sonic time alignment. or they are both just indescribable

The notes feel more forward, there's definitely more analog feeling width and warmth from the saturation non-linearity. It reminds me of throwing tape on stuff, but it doesn't exactly have the same character, different but similar benefits. You can crank this for that old school cranked amp compression. Could never get that special vibe without a real cab before. Other forms of compression ultimately was just different.

@GCKelloch

The amp sim should compress. Maybe this compresses more when driven hard, but guitar speakers are all different in that respect.

Game changer to me. Not underwhelming at all.

Please make this capture available on tone hunt! It sounds sick! I tried the 1 you put up with the road king ll into the 5150 and it’s just too overwhelming in the low end. Any tips on making it more useable?

On my laptop speakers I already hear a clear difference, on the isolated track atleast. It seems to add presence in a very pleasant way aswell as some extra gain.

@lenni-hazels

I'd call it fuzz and harmonics, but yes. Not really groundbreaking imo but could potentially be useful for that extra touch. Each step of EQing that one does is probably a bigger impact on sound though.

I'd be interested to see how it reacts to a test tone and see how it affects a spectrum.... its not some kind of eq bump or a doubler type of thing?

Is there a difference if you put it on each individual track insert as opposed to on the guitar bus?

Hello Mendel! I can see that you use your interface and quad cortex at the same time. Could you explain how is it possible? I want to avoid unnecessary analog-digital conversion.

I did notice a big difference. Its almost like its an exciter for IRs.

Hi Mendel, quick question. On the mix you done that had the IRDX that was chosen by the band, did you put IRDX on each individual guitar track or did you put it on the guitar bus?

@Mendelian

Guitar bus

Hello! This is an off-topic question, but I really need an answer) Please tell me, is the size of the Wacom Intuos Pro M enough for you or is it better to take a tablet with a larger work area?

Nice, idd wat meer diepte-beweging cq natuurlijker oid, idd net wat je mist bij IR's/amps uit plugins. En die riff haha, briljant, lekker flutteren \m/

Is this like the BBE modern maximizer.?? We use on the effects return of the amp but this version is for IR

Kazrog had recabinet 5 with dynamic speaker modeling. Isn't this exactly the same?

it just sounds like it's adding a small amount of high frequencies, or like presence and "air".... not such a drastic change

hey! :) would you mind sharing that IR? thx for the video!

Alive vs dead. Love it!

It kinda just sounds like saturation to me?

And after some time all is quiet about this '' placebo '' IR.

I think what I’m noticing is the extremely tight low end , and that’s always been a problem using sims like tse x50ii . W we may not be able to accurately describe it but we just know

Yes. I emailed Bogren about this. I use a virtual bass, and put it after Ndsp parallax. Bogren replied saying I may need to tweak the distortion in parallax but yes it works!

40 Euros just for this?? There is another IR loader with so many more features called Cabinetron which also has a non-linearity emulation. I think it costs 80 Euros. Definitely recommend that one instead.

OK, to the company, the plugin doesn't actually need an animated speaker. That's silly. Save us some screen space. (or can you hide it:?) To people using this, don't look at that speaker when trying this plugin. It may trick your mind. I'll check this out further on some clean examples, blind test.

There's some differences, but not 30 bucks worthy of differences.
