Awesome ones! I’m really enjoying this particular cab pack! York Audio has become my “go to” IR’s.

[@NudnikShpilkus]

3:40 -ish the e906 manages to sound brighter but less fizzy than the 57....

[@NudnikShpilkus]

6:17 - M160 is always a good choice. Usually my first up when testing. Will eventually have to buy one....

[@NudnikShpilkus]

12:30 - there ya go....

[@LeonTodd]

I need to get an m160 at some point, sounds like the best bits of a ribbon and a dynamic

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

First! Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Tuborgmann70]

Sounds great. There are 2 Mesa 4x12 packs on the York Audio site, which one is this?

[@bdamotta]

There's some mojo with that PRS for sure. That thing definitely has it's own character in nearly all the videos you're using it in. Don't let it go.

[@JonathanBriseboisLamarche]

Justin's IRs are among the best available IRs on the market currently! 🤘 Love 'em!

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

Hi, Leon, just posted this comment on Ryan from the Plague Scythe Studios channel´s video on the Marshall Bluesbraker Circuit in response to his post " In Defense Of Down Tuned Guitars " of Sept. 2019: For everyone´s information: In the book " Performance Techniques Of The Baroque Period " ( can´t remember the authors,- sorry - look it up ) used in at least European music conservatories for teaching classical musicians and conductors performance practices during the various historical periods it is clearly stated that the tuning standard of the Baroque period had A defined @ 415Hz! That means that Bach himself in developing and composing his "Das Wohltemperierte Clavier" ( The Well Tempered Piano ) would for his definition of equal temperament tuning as the foundation of music have had A@415Hz as his starting point. This means that anything- anything! - out of the 400 years of classical repertoire in keeping with performance standards of bygone times should have had and should have a much darker timbre to it as it´s starting point for sound generation would have been 415Hz lowering the A with how many semi- and microtones? Over the course of a couple of centuries A has sneaked itself up to 440Hz but it was never the starting point for the sound and timbre of western music. 415Hz was! Should end any further discussion on the justifiability of experimenting with different tunings right there!

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah most people hands a Sesame Street level of understanding about pre modern music unfortunately.

[@ulfdanielsen6009]

Point of course being that the "tuning purists" don´t really have a case,- their "correct" way of tuning is 29 cycles off from the get go compared to the standard of reference as it was defined by the originator himself and therefore renders their entire argument null and void. Personally I recalibrated my strobe tuner, my string instruments ( basses, guitars, mandolin ), my keyboards and synths and any kind of reference to A@440hz anywhere in my DAW to A@415Hz just to see what it would sound like. Gave a slightly darker ( warmer) timbre to all of my usual songs; any kind of acoustic strings stuff sounds especially beautiful,- less sparkly and chimey - more round, full toned and mellow. Perfect for folksy stuff. Worked perfectly for metal too,- especially any kind of drop tuned, down tuned or extended range stuff- even lower than usual,- with moderate gain in the low end very full toned without flabbing out. Needs very heavy string gauges though - for tone, you know...

[@xoggy03x]

These sound KILLER. Judging by this video, these put OwnHammer and ML Soundlab IRs to shame...

[@evanbhattacharya3464]

can you make a video of this IRs with atomic amplifire 6?? with axe fx this sounds awesome!!!

[@LeonTodd]

It's in the pipeline!

[@echoslave4965]

Hey been enjoying your vids for a bit now. I love your tone for your intro! I’m wondering if it’s possible to send you a clip of my guitar tone and you tell me what I can do to achieve a better tone? I’d send you all the specs and gear I’m using. No one has been able to help me(no response) so anything would be appreciated

[@LCRLive687]

Hey buddy. Is there any way you can not filter the top end when doing these demos? Because then we dont know how airuy the IR sounds.

[@BigfootRunning]

Nice work. I’m enjoying the ML Sound labs mega oversized cab pack.

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Well done, Great demonstration and explanation! Thanks for sharing brother! Be Well Leon!

[@matthewenglund3502]

Man, these IR’s have some great bite to them! Nice demo of them with some different amps. Thanks for sharing these, I probably would have missed them.

[@Millo1868]

Is this the "trad"?

[@Hitthispipe]

Love to hear some EMGs on one of videos with Ax8

[@banovidiu7142]

Hello Leon! Which do you like more? York Audio Or the ML soundlab ones?

[@lieutenant-llama6950]

Choptones and DR bonkers do the best IR's in my opinion. York stuff is also better than the ML IR's

[@electric1gypsy]

Hi Leon, when you record your videos do you process the sound at all through a daw like adding effects or double tracking guitars, or is what we are hearing just pure raw sound from axe fx 3?

[@LeonTodd]

The sounds here are unprocessed.

[@Eventual420]

Seasons greetings to you and your family! Thanks for all the smiles! ~Jim/Kerry

[@LeonTodd]

Happy thanksgiving mate!

[@KrstovicNikola]

Are these included in factory IRs or is it a separate pack?

[@LeonTodd]

These are a separate pack

[@surveycrew6923]

Are these compatible with Fm3?

[@LeonTodd]

Yes indeed

[@LucasLeCompteMusic]

These sound YUGE!

[@LeonTodd]

👐Yuuuuuuuge

[@adamkendra7182]

So awesome to see you review this. I knew it was coming eventually haha. I always gravitated towards ownhammer and ML but these new 4 that Justin York came out with sound so great. The matchless one for ambient cleans is tonal bliss

[@LeonTodd]

Yeah the matchless one is special, such a great can for anything not super chuggy

[@adamkendra7182]

Being a Marshall guy have you checked out the Marshall one with the 20 watt greenbacks!? He really did kill it with this new launch I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next

[@LeonTodd]

@@adamkendra7182 I did, it's stellar! I have a Marshall TV with 25gb's that I've shot and the YA is very different from it. Great for those late 70's/early 80's "brown" tones.

[@headkickko609]

Hey Leon, who plays the cello?

[@LeonTodd]

Thats3a not of an old relic unfortunately, pretty busted up. I think I tried it for 5 minutes a while back.

[@headkickko609]

@@LeonTodd My daughter has her first cello "concerto" today (in about 2 hours 😬). I'm probably moren nervous than she is. After 3 months, she will play "Love me tender" and "A french folk song". I had to learn how to play it, just so I can kinda help her with some basic issues. But man it does wonders to your intonation. I regret not learning it when I was younger.

[@LeonTodd]

@@headkickko609 that's awesome! It's such a tricky instrument to play and it has such an incredibly moving timbre.
