Collection: Heavy Metal Impulse Response Packs

What is an Impulse Response? The simple guide

Impulse Response is a sonic measurement between the source and (in this case) the guitar cabinet. In other words, our IR's are Guitar Cabinet emulations that can be used either with TRVE Cab or any other Impulse Response loader.

How Do I Use Impulse Responses?

You load up your DAW, apply your favourite amp sim or multi-fx-unit or even a real amp (as long as it creates distortion or acts like a preamp, you're good) apply the IR loader on a guitar track, load up the IR file and boom! you're all set to rock.

Can I use these with Kemper/AxeFX/Headrush etc?

Most modelling amps will allow external IR's to be imported but they also often require different sample rate. Our IR's are in 24/44.1Khz. Check the compatibility from your modeller's website.

Things that can be captured as an IR:

Anything that's static.

#1 You have the coolest sounding drum room in the world. You've tried a few other studios and they just don't sound the same. Good news? You can capture an IR of your room and then take it with you wherever you go and load it via IR loader.

#2 You've got this rare mic from the 1920's that sounds great on everything? Good news is you capture the EQ curve of that mic and use it spice up the dull "new" mics.

#3 Guitar cabs, delay/reverb units, EQ units.

Things that can't be captured as an IR:

Anything non-static. Distortion, chorus, flanger, compression. 

How Ugritone Impulse Responses are created and why should I use them?

Instead of offering IR packs that offer 1 or 2 positions with 36 different mics, we wanted to capture the entire cab in 3D space, from the front, from the back and from above. With TRVE Cab loader you can load up to 8 individual slots simultaneously giving you access to a fuller tone. 8 fixed positions, 1 mic per position = endless possibilities.
