BHG "The Hidden Gem" DynIR Virtual Cab Pack

[@EricMakingWaves]

Synergy + Two Notes is the magic formula. Literally the best tones I’ve ever achieved. Gonna go get the pack!

[@jonasee5036]

I bought these and my guitar sound just immediately got like 30% better. Thanks a lot for it! I also bought the PT pack because you mention him a lot.

[@kevrochlin4544]

Bought tons of cabs over the last few years. BHG Hidden Gem "Plus" the Collection are the best by far I've come across. Superb. MY guitar finally sounds good through headphones !! THX MN !

[@BigHairyGuitars]

THANKS Kev!!!

[@ismaeldiaz7978]

I got the Hidden Gem pack when it was released, and now I finally got my Vai module and this video is exactly what I needed

[@Lushoverthebridge]

Sound huge! Greetings from Switzerland!🇨🇭

[@shredicusmaximus]

Reporting back after doing a couple demo tracks with these IRs, man they sound just incredible!!! Doing rhythm guitars with my jcm800 (2203 w/6550s) with the v30 IR on the left and my super lead (50w EL34s) with the greenback IR on the right sounded just huge!!! They blend really nicely together, bravo good sir. Money well spent.....for me at least haha. Thanks for taking one for the team Michael!

[@jjm9741]

whats not static about the DYnir using plugin amp sims.. still not hearing anything special over non dynir's.

[@cancelbubble6535]

Great story, glad you were able to "win" that cab. Awesome intro song, too.

[@shorerocks]

Gee. That must be the best opening tune you've ever played. Wow.

[@glassGPT]

That’s some tasty playing - excellent demo and thanks for all of your videos.

[@TechMetalRules]

In my heart I'm just going to believe that exact cab was one of them Steve used for the 1990 MTV Rock N' Jock Star Spangled Banner. Sorry, Jimmy and Zakk... it's the best Guitar Spangled Banner of all time.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

DUDE! Me too! That Vai moment is stuck in my brain forever!

[@craigcornell2752]

What a score for you…and now us! Thnx bro

[@rikshredder]

Awesome Michael! And your playing has come a long way!

[@sessionswithjeff]

Thanks Michael! Love that I have these now, will dig into them soon and see how they sound for my current projects!

[@rocknewton1205]

This is yet another great reminder to follow your dreams…. Quite literally! Glad you got the cab, Michael, or you’d always regret it. Really appreciate you making it available to the world. BTW…. Since watching your Jem Jr video, I’ve pulled mine off the wall for the first time in months and am wondering why I don’t play it more often!

[@MichielMensingh]

Awesome pack and amazing track and playing! Michael: you should consider releasing it commercially!! I really love it, the polyrhythmic 16th note part (at 0’30 seconds) really blew my mind!!! :-)

[@waynesta9]

Hey Michael, got these yesterday and they do sound amazing! Thank you :)

[@guitardave]

Really great video, and what a great story! In regards to the DynIR’s, brilliant that you’ve made them and thank you for doing so, but man, it’s a shame you can’t release some standard IR’s for those of us who either don’t have Two Notes DynIR software, or who just want some simple IR’s without all the parameter adjusting. Maybe in future?

[@JustinBryantdotcom]

Wall of Sound is free w/ 16 cabinets right now. The trouble with selling ‘IR’s’ within 5 minutes the torrent sites have them and they have no value.

[@guitardave]

@@JustinBryantdotcom It’s not showing as free for me on their website right now (other than a free trial). Cheapest option is $39 which comes with 8 cabs.

[@shredicusmaximus]

@@guitardave It is my understanding that the wall of sound free trial stays unlocked permanently with any IR purchase. I've never used it before so I could be wrong, but I did buy this Vai pack so I can report back later that it stays unlocked after the trial ends

[@guitardave]

@@shredicusmaximus ah right, ok, that would be awesome if that’s the case! Thanks for the advice 😃👍🏻

[@geoffreymerrifield5666]

Wow Michael, you are pretty good on that there yellow thang!! You took some Vai-isms and totally made it your own. Awesome.

[@SpinandThrowDiscGolf]

Dang man. That sounds incredible. The original speaker was probably my favorite, then the Greenback. That Two Notes thing is insane.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

my fav's in that order as well.

[@danthrax7407]

Wow!!! I saw DLR in Spain in Skyscraper´s tour. I asked in social media to Steve Vai if my guitar was used in that tour because He owned my 77FP during 3 years, as far as I know about my guitar (and I saw several jems flying on the stage in that tour!!! maybe one is the one I have here!!) but I had no reply. Now with that Cab IR I have kinda Steve setup in my fingers...just need another fingers my friend!! I´m going to get your Cab right now, I´m not going to be a better guitar player, I´m not going to sound better...but I need it, no more vacation, no more school and no more food...at least this week ahahahah. You are great Michael Thanks for sharing it and I hope you to sell this cab IR a lot (your family deserves a vacation man!!), the truth is that your Two notes pack sounds amazing, and I cannot wait to try this Hidden Gem

[@stevie..d..charvelman4543]

Keep up all the great work my man. Your sounding really good,and love that you're playing on your Gem 2 guitar. Music is a great thing, keep having fun. Long live Metal.

[@iPotatoTone]

Great Skyscraper-esque tone!

[@jimmyjames7720]

Sounds amazing.

[@LucaMilierimusic]

Amazing Intro!

[@seanoakes3688]

I bought my Two Notes Torpedo rack cab loader, and this is the first package I bought. I can't wait to mess with it over the weekend!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Right on!

[@MaroenFranse]

Thank you for this, just got the two note captor x and the green cab sounds so good with my 5150

[@theguitaraficionado8349]

Love the chord progression in the track.

[@Synic42]

Yessss!! That's a no brainer purchase, this'll be a mainstay in my Torpedo Live.

[@TheSavage1969]

Dude!!!! I'm late to the party but I brought beer! (and insta-purchase the pack too of course). Love the story man. You lucked out finding that auction, if I'd have known I'd have out bid ya, lol. Take care sir. Edit: Ok, the pack is badass. The White and the Black sit in a mix at first get-go. The Green is my favorite though for pluging into an FRFR with proper amp or sim and letting 'the Greenback rip. Love it. I think the Green might have just bumped your Bogner out of my first place WoS list...

[@tunoman]

It's awesomeeeeeeeeeee🎩🎩🎩

[@TudorAdrian]

Just tried these yesterday in the Genome beta and they're incredible

[@BigHairyGuitars]

😬😁😬😁😬😁. Thanks!!! Genome is the real deal. It's gonna blow things open for TwoNotes I think!

[@jbusk6298]

Love the videos

[@robertharmon9332]

Hey there Michael...I am posting this here but it doesn't actually have anything to do with this video but all your demos in general. I love what you do and I am an 80 metal guy from way back but I am making my living in the country world now. My suggestion is that you also demo the edge of breakup and tele type tones that these amps and preamps can get. In my experience, even the high gain stuff can be great at much lower gain. I would love to hear a wider variety of gain settings...:) thx

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Thanks... will do

[@JonHusiar]

YEAH!! Love it!

[@djabthrash]

Sounds fantastic.

[@BoyAditya]

"no school!! no vacation!! ... No eating!!"🤣

[@michaeltoren]

Sounds incredible!

[@R2R3Lockingnut]

Muy Bueno 👍🏼 Sounds excellent!! I am waiting for my Amp smasher shirt from the TeeSpring store 🙌🏼 can't wait

[@rockostiffredi4276]

Glad you won the auction Michael. Some would say a high price to pay for a Marshall 4*12 Cab. It definitely sounds special though. If you want to get ‘that’ sound, that’s the price you had to pay, and I’m sure you’ll sell a truckload of I.R.’s. to compensate.

[@scottpeters4401]

I have to grab these IR’s….I have a Marshall Jubilee cab that I bought new in 1987…it’s loaded with the Marshall branded V30’s,8ohm versions…..which are the same speakers that would be in the Vai cab in 1986….Mine hasn’t had the workout the Vai cab has had,but mine after 35 years of being thumped sounds amazing…..

[@coreyclark6505]

Oddly, the Black one is probably my favorite. But both it and the v30’s sounded great!

[@mentoneman]

wasn’t a giant vai guy but his live tone on the eatum and smile tour was his best period imo. saw him later with whitesnake and on G3 and not as massive. that gtr rips too-i was impressed with the tone of the pickups when i played it.

[@mentoneman]

revisited this demo-this IR might be one of the best i've ever heard. great job!

[@daievans2637]

you can see the joy .. lol

[@andreslaurito9031]

Home run!! Congratulations!! Just curious no kemper version?

[@DANTHETUBEMAN]

Kewl via sounds ,

[@MKJ2DAY]

5:12 Pulp Fiction reference for sure!!🤘

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Subtle, but you nailed it!

[@rombidaut1917]

congrats and great job, now you need to make a profile of the Jose amp it was used with, it sounds mucho specialo :)

[@kevinstarofficial]

Michael maybe you would have some input to the Two Notes guys, can you please propose them the eventuality of adding a slot for loading a speaker impedance response IR (corresponding to all major celestion speakers) along the regular ir loader in their wall of sound and cab m products? that would actually make a huge difference and only then it will sound like actually playing through a real cab and with the real feel. it's what fractal does and why their stuff sound just like an analog setup. I already do this with two instances of wall of sound but would be nice to have that posibility in the cab-m as well for live use. once you add an speaker impedance ir to the chain, you can never go back. it sounds night and day better

[@markinthemix6055]

Sounds amazing. Cool win on this historic piece. Could you PLEASE😵‍💫😫 do a video on the latest Kemper update with the Double Tracker

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Trying to make time to do that

[@billyhenley6968]

You channeled Vai with that Jem

[@satch72]

It's funny because I have so many IRs and I really don't want anymore but yeah I'm buying this hahaha

[@dchristo10]

Think I'll pair this with the Brainworx Pete Thorn PT-100 plugin.

[@JeremyVarao]

Dammit dude! Now I gotta buy these…

[@vgmoulin]

I got the cabs and they sound awesome! What about some BHG presets for it? It would be even better!

[@SeanAsheOfficial]

Yessssssss

[@SeanAsheOfficial]

You had me at “it’s frikkin awesome”

[@SlinkyT82]

This is so cool on so many levels. May you quickly make your money back from sales of this IR pack. haha! Sounds killer dude!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Ha! Thanks!

[@Twobarpsi]

Crunchier than a bar of peanut brittle.

You son of a.....I couldn't even get 30 seconds into this video without pausing it and breaking out my wallet!!!!! LOL that's a new record for me

[@BigHairyGuitars]

haha! Thanks!

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

Michael, do you sell just regular IR'S which I can use with my Axe-Fx? I need some of your cabs.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

I don't right now. Sorry!

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

@@BigHairyGuitars ok, thanks anyway, maybe in the future 😊

[@tool69tool69]

hey man, just get a two notes cab and run it after the axe fx. i do that with the kemper, Not all but some of the two two notes cabs are better then any ownhammer, york, ml and kemper cabs i have found

[@MarkPritchardGuitar]

@@tool69tool69 thanks mate, will the two notes cab work with Neural plugins too?

[@jackberry1891]

So I am really thinking about picking up a Peavey Classic 50 4x10 model. Can you please make a video on it if possible?

[@michaelsmilek2404]

What about the Kemper?

[@DiiegoBezerra]

Awesome Michael! I have a question and I don't understand English very well, but is it possible to buy "The Hidden Gem Collection" to use in Tonex, for example? If so, where to buy it?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

bighairyprofiles.com/products/big-hairy-guitars-impulse-response. Hi. The Hidden Gem Collection is only for TwoNotes. But, I have another pack of IR's that is a little different, but has some of the same cabinets included. Available at the link, and works in TONEX.

[@fabiol.9161]

No chance to have as " STANDARD" ir? I ve bought for my captor x but it would be great also for other devices.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

yes. I'm working on standard IR's. I'll have them avail at my BigHairyProfiles website before the end of the year.

[@pianistaprendiz]

Hello Michael, I saw this video about "The Hidden Gem Collection" IR. It seems to be a way to get closer to Steve Vai's sound. However, I question what is the best Two Notes device to use it with a Boss Katana amplifier? And how can I connect to the amplifier, using the Katana distortion? Will it be through send/return ? Using just the Katana and this IR will I be able to get the sound you presented in the video or will I have to add anything else? Regards.

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Hi, you can go headphone out or line out, but you have to see if you can bypass any speaker sim that might be on the katana. Then go into a CabM from TwoNotes.

[@RiffandDestroy]

Okey… take my money !

[@slometal64]

An X100B by Carvin Half Stack made in Mid 80s Works well too for the Vai sound, and about $800 or less these days...

[@smoker0081]

It is a pity that they are not available in syx format😔

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Sorry. I don't have anything standalone at the moment.

[@6oundStudio]

now I want pancakes

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Amen

[@liviofraschetti4713]

You have used an amp and wall of sound with ir?

[@LeopardBull5trik3]

Hey Mike. Do these cabs include your presets for wall of sound?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Hi Leopard, I didn't make presets for this pack. If you look at the "presets" that I used on the video. 99% of it was just 1 SM57, no EQ, done. This pack sounds really great, straight outta the box.

[@LeopardBull5trik3]

@@BigHairyGuitars spot on pal. Appreciate the reply. I bought Lynch's cabs a month back and imma definitely grab these. They sound fantastic

[@austinfailz]

Hey, Michael. Did Vai also use this cab/speaker combo on the Whitesnake tour, or was that something else?

[@austinfailz]

I could be wrong, and the image/plate quality could also be leading me astray, but it seems to say "12367."

[@BigHairyGuitars]

I wish I knew. It seems to me that it would have been, but I don't have a direct confirmation if it was or not. In my head, I'm going Whitesnake YES. haha

[@austinfailz]

@@BigHairyGuitars thanks for the reply, Michael. Your videos are insightful, musical, and joyful. We can see and hear the happiness in every word, Note, and second of the videos. Typically, lots of talking in videos tends to be pretty dicey, but you and Euge Valovirta (hope I spelled that right) are very educational and fun to listen to.

[@jjm9741]

DYnIR' s demo using physical amp, not plugins

[@SnappyJCM800]

Do you have these irs where I can use them in my hxstomp

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Sorry, right now they're all natively inside Two notes products. At the moment, I don't have any stand-alone IR's. The workaround, is to use WOS Cab software, or a CabM on a pedalboard.

[@SnappyJCM800]

@@BigHairyGuitars well damn. Alright.

[@SHREDTILLDEAD]

Can these be exported to wav format using wall of sound?

[@BigHairyGuitars]

Sorry, they are inside the Two notes natively. I don't have stand-alone IR's right now.

[@sd76-22]

If only I wish I understood these I guess computer sounds amd how to use them sounds like I could get rid of my 80’s rack and real amp 😕 sounds like you can just get any sound you want from the the program… like tonal?????

[@gravyblue]

These are impulse responses, which are digital "captures" of speakers. You use them with a preamp or a gtr amp that has a line output INSTEAD of a speaker and mic setup

[@sd76-22]

@@gravyblue so I have a Digitech 2101 preamp ( original and still rocks) and a pevy amp. That’s all I use so do I get a lab top and programs and plug that in to my amp?? Tech is over my head. I’m pretty impressed I can respond to a comment on you tube lol

[@gravyblue]

@@sd76-22 you can use an ir loader people like two notes make one, it's basically a pedal that emulates the speaker sound, or if you used a laptop, you can use a software ir loader, usually in a daw, but you'd need studio style monitors (speakers) to listen to the result. If you plugged your digitec into a ir pedal and then your peavey, you wouldn't like the sound because it's a gtr speaker into a gtr speaker, and it's not good. Myself, I use a helix ( same thing as your digitec) but it can load ir's , and use 2 powered PA speakers to amplify it, because they're full range, they work like studio monitors. I hope that's clear enough. 😀

[@truescotsman4103]

Steve's tone is thin and leaves something to be desired. He gets by. 🙃

HAHA! I haven't recognized that!

[@BigHairyGuitars]

THANKS!!!! :)

[@Cpt_Adama]

That's a fair deal you pay $4G's for awesome speaker cabinet, do all the work to make the IR's. I pay $30 bucks and have awesome speakers I could never afford and hopefully after 1000 people buy this you break even. SOLD! Now go get Jimmy Pages Cabinets ;-)
