Make your modeler sound like a REAL AMP [the easiest & most effective way]

How can you make your modeler sound more like a real amp?
In this video, we take a look at our new XR [extreme realism] Impulse Response Collection and compare them to stock cabs on every major modeler platform to demonstrate how using our XR IRs is the easiest and most effective way to improve your tone and make your modeler/amp sim sound more like a real amp.
We breakdown what is included in each IR pack, give sound examples, compare our XR IRs with a real mic’d cab, answer frequently asked IR questions, compare the XR IRs to our previous tone-matched IRs, and hop on a call with our friend Chris Greely [mix engineer, producer, guitarist] to talk about these new XR IRs.Buckle up, let’s go to tone town!
These IRs deliver the truest representation of a cab in tone, feel, breakup quality, and harmonic information when pushed. Our new XR IR Collection is the result of countless hours of IR experimentation, development, and A/B testing. They are the most accurate line of impulse responses that we have ever created. These IRs are universal and can be used on any platform that can load IRs. Check out the XR IR Collection:

    Even listening to this audio on studio-quality headphones and nearfields, it doesn’t do justice to the difference between the XR IR’s and comparable traditional IR’s - even the Ownhammer Rock Box sounds beam-y and narrow in comparison. And TwoNotes and Celestion dynamic IR’s are now officially outdated compared to XR’s. Bravo guys, don’t know how you did it but these finally unlocked my in-the-box digital sounds and made them actually fun to play.

    @@Tone_Factor I know you’re not going to give away proprietary information, but I’m struggling to figure out how you did this. The XRIR’s make all my other IR’s sound like am radios, but it can’t be just good eq’ing. You don’t mention any similarities to TwoNotes or Celestion dynamic IR technology yet there must be some dynamic component, yet there can’t be because they’re straight wav files. These also beat the UA Ox sounds handily.

    Ok, I’ll be honest. I’ve always thought IRs were stupid and thought, “why would anyone use IRs? The stock cabs are just fine, no one can tell a difference”. I have a QC and have been happy with the stock cabs. However I saw everyone raving about these XR IRs, so I thought I’d finally give it a try. It’s not a life-changing difference, but it’s pretty close to being that. It made my QC come alive in a way I didn’t know it needed. Best IRs I’ve tried hands down!

    All future presets of ours will be built off of our new XR IRs and we will also be replacing any previous TF tone matched presets with new XR IR versions that will be redialed to the new XR IRs and sold as new presets. That’s a big workload so will take some time…it could be months before we get down that road as we are focusing on continuing to build out our XR IR Collection while we are on and off the road on tours for the rest of the year.

  • @raptor74707

    @raptor74707

    10 ай бұрын

    In theory yes, or you can find a pretty flat condenser mic to do your recordings to eliminate classic mic characteristic (eq) as much as possible (It won't be supper flat but you can live with it). Some mic manufacturers provide the frequency response of their mics on the internet which you can use to put an EQ to do micro adjustments to make it flatter. Remember those measurements are from 1m distance at a certain db. However, there are a lot of other parameters in place such as the room that your amp is in. So hearing just the cab is not what you want, it is the sound in that room that you are after, and that requires some experiments and different mic set-up and capturing techniques.

    Most likely both! But not sure when I will get to a new preset build. You can absolutely buy a pack and load them in any presets you wish. The beauty of these universal XR IRs is you can buy a pack and use it on ANY platform with ANY amp and ANY amp settings, unlike tone matched IRs that have to be paired with the amp, settings, and platform they were tone matched to to sound correct.

    11 ай бұрын

    Good question! Buying the XR IR packs is a great option to update any presets you have. All future Tone Factor presets will be based of these XR IRs since they are a big improvement from our tone matched IRs. We will likely be rebuilding/redialing our currently released presets using these new XR IRs since they sound so much better. Because of the massive amount of time that will take and for the fact that they include new IRs, they will be entirely new versions for sale. As always, if any of our current presets break or need a correction to function and sound as initially designed, those will always be free updates.
