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

[@charleslivingston803]

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 And TwoNotes and Celestion dynamic IR’s are now officially outdated compared to XR’s. Bravo guys, don’t know how you did it but these finally unlocked my in-the-box digital sounds and made them actually fun to play.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]

Wow, thanks for the feedback and for checking them out! We are stoked you hear what we hear 🤘🏼

[@charleslivingston803]

@@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.

I am doing a livestream of a few ambient guitar things just for me and your IRs really made a huge difference to my clean sounds.

I will surely test in other settings, but this is great, Thanks! I will definitely want more.

The XR Collection is definitely better, however I will say that I did think that the Helix Stock Cabs sounded way better than the QC Stock Cabs. I run a massive board with the Helix floor as the brains of the entire rig and I do run IR's because they definitely still make a massive difference. I'll be checking out some of these XR IR's for sure!

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!

[@Tone_Factor]

[@Blandified]

Sorry for noob question, I’ve only had a Kemper and never messed with IRs…. I’m thinking about buying a fractal and I would for sure buy your XR IRs. I mainly like two rock/dumble tones, but I notice you don’t have any XR IRs for dumbles. Do I just buy a few IRs and hope they sound okay with the fractal dumble amp model? Is it okay to mix and match different amp\cab combinations?

[@joelvaliente2072]

I definitely noticed a slight difference when comparing the XR IR to the real amp, with the IR sounded cleaner and more focused and the amp having more air to it and more variation (maybe harmonics) based on pick attack. What would you guys recommend for getting an amp in the room feel? I’m currently using the Line 6 power cab on the flat setting and pretty happy with it so far…

[@Jayyy_Wav]

A very subtle room reverb. Even compression does it. When I used the Strymon Iridium the room knob made all the difference in realistic amp feel and fake.

[@Heyimjoshcarter]

What’s best practice for choosing Amp models to suit the IRs? Eg. What amp to choose for the Benson Chimera on a QC (which doesn’t have a Benson model)

[@matthewneedham2125]

I’ve been really successful running KENYON REED’s signature patch mixed with my own adjustments to maximize the pod go! And loving it. Want to try some of these out but only want to spend 20 right now…. Which one would you suggest??? I’m guessing the JMI 30/6? I have been really successful with snap shot 1 being a huge swell no amp/cab 2 having one perfect thick clean tone Using stomp box mode to turn off effects if not needed 3 more of a edge of breakup for my dryer rhythm tone And 4 big lead tone with all effects in. Is there any specific IR I should try?

[@Tone_Factor]

The JMI 30/6 XR IR pack would definitely be the recommended choice for that since that preset is already dialed around that amp and Kenyon's tone!

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.

You should be able to throw them in and tweak! Might have to raise the top end on your EQ blocks since the actual harmonics are replacing that harsh fizzy sound in modelers that we all know and hate 🤣 it’s been a while since I’ve owned a helix so I haven’t ran that patch in a while. Best of luck, hope this helps!

[@haydenknight3472]

@Tone_Factor When will these XR IR’s be sold within a comprehensive setup? Are you guys looking to integrate these into a new “bethel presets”.

All of our new presets will be built off of these XR IRs since they are such a level up from tone matched and our original DH IRs. Not sure how soon that will happen through - we are going to be working on more XR IR packs (4x12’s, etc).

[@ApWijnands]

Thanks guys. I really appreciated hearing at 1:01:32 the sound of the different cabs and speakers you have in your shop as well.

Are there sound samples of all of them that I am missing?

the new IRs sound amazing!! suppose I have my tone dialled in, and then want to sweeten in further with some EQ in my DAW, can I drop the IR wav file into the DAW, load the EQ and then re-bounce the wav to bake that EQ into the IR, or is that likely to compromise the IR's response?

[@humorustrout.]

No harm in trying that, just save both the old/new files in DAW. I like to bake plugins into a new bounce on a track, saves processing power for other tracks

[@mitjajan5563]

Nice comparison, spite would be nice to even both signals with dB meter to the same level, because yours are all louder than original ones. Else, nice work.

[@Aevyn]

Shower thoughts: Would it be possible to find the exact eq curve of a microphone, and apply the inverse of that curve to the IR file to essentially eliminate the mic flavor and get the sound of just the speaker?

[@raptor74707]

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.

[@aaroncostiganmusic]

On the shootout, I noticed ever so slightly, a bit more clarity in the low end. But the fact you guys got it THAT CLOSE, is insane.

[@josephestes7076]

These are killer. Im now very curious to hear how these stack up against the new ua ox pedal. Seems like they are both really high quality and authentic feeling.

[@newpix7555]

Looks like the stock cab and your IRs are recorded using different distances from the cone. So even if you shoot both at the cap edge you get a different sound. Have you got any info on this aspect?

[@MrBlaze9225]

I heard it right away for the A/B, bass response is something modeling (for me anyway) still struggles a bit with. I can hear B has a tighter bass response like it gives what you work for. I don't know how to explain it but anyway thanks guys! These IRs truly are amazing. I bought nearly all of them and they saved my QC. Now I am just waiting for a DI amp bundle for the platforms :) Would love to try your own AC30 and Benson with different cabs. Cheers!

[@Tone_Factor]

Love to hear that! Honestly, running the XR IRs on the QC was the first time we were enjoying the Cortex. We will be experimenting with DI amp captures and running these XR IRs soon as just capting a full amp with the QC didn't sound that great and had all the problems of the stock cabs. The XR IR is the way to go for the QC.

[@PerishableDave]

@@Tone_Factor Do all the IRs work on the QC? I noticed on your site there aren't any IRs explicitly listed under the QC page.

Hello. Was there an effort to volume match the examples of the "Stock Cabinets" versus your XR IRs? I have listened on several playback systems, and the XRs were noticeably louder. It did not make for a fair comparison. Thanks!

[@ryanmaurer2630]

Will the Helix presets be getting updates with these new IRs?

[@Tone_Factor]

Yes! All of our new helix presets will be built off of our XR IRs since they are a big step up from tone matched IRs. We will likely be rebuilding and 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.

[@westonlundquist9202]

Raising the bar again. Well done guys!

[@Tone_Factor]

🏋️‍♂️

[@Aevyn]

I have an idea for you two. An IR is essentially just a hyper detailed EQ curve that represents a mic in front of a speaker. Could you create your own IR of a speaker that doesn't actually exist but that represents what you think the perfect speaker would sound like? So instead of copying a celestion, you could create a real Tone Factor Speaker IR that represents what you two experts think is the ideal speaker for P&W.

[@Tone_Factor]

Thanks for the feedback! I don't think there is necessarily "ideal" speaker for P&W... it really just depends on what sort of vibe and tone you are going for which varies from person to person. But it's funny you mention that - we have plans to do a lot of experimental IRs down the road... that is all Ill say for now. That should be fun!

[@Aevyn]

@@Tone_Factor can't wait to hear what you guys come up with! I just figure in the digital world of IRs it shouldn't be necessary to be constrained by the capabilities and sounds of analog gear.

Would you say these IR’s combined with say, a Fractal amp model, sounds and feels better than the best Kemper/QC/ToneX full rig capture?

[@OldTomato44]

Sounds cool, but I only want IR's of a Mesa Boogie Traditional cab with V30's. Make that, and you'll get my money.

[@jcvela21]

Are you guys going to come out with matchless dc30 irs?

[@Tone_Factor]

At some point!

[@sethmjcooney]

If you've purchased Tone Matched amp packs in the past, will these eventually be upgraded to the XR IRs or is it expected that XR IRs are to be purchased separately and added into patches?

[@Tone_Factor]

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.

Good stuff, guys. Everything sounds great overall. I'm a fan. +2 points to Fractal, though for sounding really good with the stock cab. Could've used a tweak or two but overall, I think Fractal brings the most amp-like tones out of the box compared to these others.

[@JGorg8]

Fractal is by far the best one I've used, and it's not even close

[@BagusWibisono]

@@JGorg8and also is it very good low end and punchy?

[@wolvesandguitars]

Would it be like new Fractal DYNACAB??

[@dividedbytimestudios]

So with your DH Bethel patch for Helix, I will want both the XR IRs for the AC30 Green and the Prosonic?

[@Tone_Factor]

Yes if you are wanting the XR IR versions.

[@jeremybrook5068]

Sounds great! I really want to try out the Greenback XR IRs with my Matchless preset on Helix

[@jazzzfer]

@Tone Factor - can this be used with Kempers? I know you have IRs specific for kempers. What is the difference?

[@Tone_Factor]

Yes, all of our XR IRs are compatible with Kempers and sound great on them! Our Kemper page has our Kemper profile packs (full rig captures). Both are great on kemper.

[@benanderson6907]

Will you be adding a DC30 XR IR?

[@Utasuta3034]

Are XR IR similar to Universal Audio Dynamic cab tech? Please reply

[@sirtreebeard8106]

Currently use your DH All in One for my HX Stomp. How hard will it be to integrate these new amps into those?

[@Tone_Factor]

It would be as simple as swaping out the IRs for the new XR IRs.
