HW made some new IRs // Guitar Friends 51

[@FabuBrik]

Sooze after saying all of like 10 whole words this episode: "I've been Sooze" 🤣🤣🤣

[@thesoozeTJ]

Hahaha it’s still true!

“A conversation with Tone Bot”… dang, those drugs were working. Since undergoing a botched lower spine operation in 2019, I hardly ever sleep. The pain is agonising and the medication is only effective for a short while. I look forward to your weekly show. It helps me sleep for at least half an hour. 😂 Thank you guys!

[@ksharpe10]

Well at least while they are talking about FOOD.

[@ksharpe10]

You like John Cordy Too, he is GREAT, stunning player.

[@jimmcdougall9973]

@@ksharpe10 most definitely.

[@CanaldoOTA]

We are waiting a video about the new FXs for Tonex!

[@2speedy4u22]

Maybe HW doesn’t support it because ToneX isn’t charging for it. 😜

[@CanaldoOTA]

@@2speedy4u22 I dont think so. Maybe he is waiting the oficial release.

[@ToneJunkieTV]

Planning on it this week. I have the software, it’s in the works!

[@Fork818]

I don’t even use a kemper, I just come by for the banter.

[@ZblockWoW]

A new episode of Guitar Friends? I am ready to get hurt again. 🤩

[@Paul-D]

Ive been using one of the liquid 58 bandmaster profiles and despite buying loads of others that was just the one for me - I just got your new IRs to put on it and I instantly liked it even more. Don't know how you do it!

[@KYDY]

Speaker geek here... - Speaker "compression" is a bit of a misnomer, occurs due to the voice coil heating up increasing DCR. It occurs over multiple seconds when driving the speakers very hard, and is not heard as compression since it's a "compressor" with seconds-long attack & release. - "Different frequencies come through the cone at different spots" is a misunderstanding. At low frequencies, it basically moves as a unit (pistonic). At higher frequencies, the speaker "breaks up" in radial & concentric modes, vibrating out of phase with each other. All spots of the cone produce all frequencies. (This is why we have high frequency beaming, since the sound producing object is much larger than the wavelength. Huygen's principle.) - As noted above, "speaker breakup" is a misnomer. It is an LTI phenomenon and captured by IRs. It's the jagged response as you get to like 2kHz+. - Speaker IRs are remarkably the same captured quietly vs. loudly. Pushing a speaker for IR captures does not change its response unless you're misusing/destroying it. Fractal Audio has a great post about this in their forum with graphs. The companies that feature "dynamic speaker" stuff like breakup are selling you stuff. People often forget that when they're "pushing the speaker" with guitar amps, they're simultaneously pushing the amp which has orders of magnitude greater non-linear response... that's what's compressing and distorting.

I find the IR arms race exhausting. Everyone says they have the next secret sauce, the next level, etc. I think EQ IR is a more literal title than AiR. At least HW is the most transparent about what he’s offering, most creators just say it’s the super secret best ever IR.

[@ToneJunkieTV]

Thanks dude! Check out the Free ones, they are my 3 Go To IRs.

[@jimmcdougall9973]

If Kemper were to upgrade the Player, to the same functionality of the full version, for free. I would demand a full refund on my toaster. The bigger chassis would cost $10 in China, so the size is irrelevant.

[@timcrawford9119]

Can we get a "Tone-bot's Favorite Amps" pack now?😂

[@nicolasrivera5310]

Sound just like a different mic position, what is the WOW factor here on those IRS??? will they actually make a difference in a full band mix? I have to try them, in this video sounds like snake oil.

[@ToneJunkieTV]

No snake oil, thats why we made 3 of them free and honestly those are my 3 favorite speakers and my fav mic combo so it's kind of the 3 go to IRs of the pack for me. Check em out and if you like em... Cool!

[@ksharpe10]

Are the IR's available for FRACTAL??

[@thesoozeTJ]

Yep!

[@yikelu]

I think the thing you guys are missing about the Kemper upgrade is the quality of life stuff being locked and the price for that. Also the specific tiers -- the extra blocks requiring the full upgrade. Extra blocks is probably the thing that takes the *least* resources to develop yet it has the highest price attached to it. People don't have a problem with paying for more content. If they sold the simple QOL stuff (extra blocks) for like $50 and the models for the higher premiums, or if they parted all this stuff out a la carte, doubt people would have cared. FWIW, I also think the outrage is stupid. Just don't buy it. It's a market. It is worth discussing the specifics about why it's being received poorly though. It's not the "DLC" issue.

[@vaisatchatrucci]

PLEASE put a “inconspicuous” BMW logo on all your guitars for the next episode… 😂 And by “inconspicuous” I mean blatantly obvious. I’m also not confident in your usage of “matriculate”… BUT I also graduated from a TN publik skool so… 😂

[@BourkeTommy]

Enough acting like you don’t have checks coming in from big companies. You’re way to vocal about your support for certain brands for me to believe that… it’s so obvious. There’s no way you’re not getting checks from Tesla and Taco Bell!
