Signpost for fast and accurate IR selection
TIP: Facilitate your life! Before you choose the best IR for you, set your amp to default settings! All
controls at “12 o'clock”!
Note: The IR has a final effect on the frequency response of your entire signal chain - from the guitar to
the amp used and its settings, right down to the IR, ie the miced cabinet simulation.
See the IR as a complement to the preceding signal chain! It completes and complements the preceding
frequency response of your individual signal path.
First select the IR until the sound is at least in the desired "ballpark". Finally, you should make fine
adjustments to the Amp EQ, if necessary.
You'll hear it: especially with high-quality digital modelers or software plugins, providing accurate amp
simulation, you will not have to "amp-tweak" on these more as you are used to the real amp to create
excellent sound.
Our cabIR.eu IR libraries make it easy for you to find excellent tone! That's all about it!
