How to use Impulse Responses
These Impulse Responses are compatible with software IR loader plugins in your DAW, as well as hardware units from companies like Quad Cortex, Kemper, Fractal Audio, Line 6, Mooer, and more!
DAW
To use impulse responses in your DAW (Pro Tools, Logic, Reaper, Cubase, etc.) simply add your favourite guitar amp plugin, disable the cab section and follow with a plugin that can load IRs.
Some amp sims will allow you to load an IR directly without a need for another plugin.
One thing to keep in mind is that the quality of IR loaders on the market does differ. Some are very clean, some add EQ or even harmonics on their own without letting you know, and some can make the tone almost unrecognizable. If you want to hear the IR’s the way I created it in my studio, make sure to
use a great IR loader.
Some IR loaders available on Plugin Boutique are:
Hardware Units
The Bogren Digital impulse responses are compatible with all hardware loaders. Below are some general guidelines but please refer to the user manual of your unit to learn how to load impulse responses.
Kemper
Rig Manager
If you download the latest version of 'Kemper Rig Manager', you will be able to drag and drop .wav files (44.1 kHz for Kemper) directly into the app.
USB
Alternatively, you can convert the impulse responses into .kipr files with Cab Maker and copy into a FAT32 formatted USB thumb drive. When done, connect it to your Kemper, then press the ‘import’ button.
A note on Kemper use: experiment with using ‘direct’ or ‘merged’ profiles if you have them. These had the amp head and cab captured separately, so when you replace the cab with an IR, the head sound is modelled more accurately.
Axe FX
Download the free ‘Cab Lab Lite’ utility to convert and load impulse responses.
