Massive Guitar Tones From A Metal Master
From legendary producer Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Behemoth, August Burns Red, Black Dahlia Murder, Halford, The Haunted) comes a powerful and versatile IR pack!
- 31 producer impulse responses
- Engineered and mixed by producer Tue Madsen
- Mix-finished™, RAW, Clean, Lead IRs
- Profiled from cabs used on top metal albums
- Mic'd, EQ'd, and tailored to fit into any mix
- Compatible with all software and hardware IR loaders
What Can People Expect From This IR Pack?
You can expect a bunch of Tue's cabinets collected through a life time recorded with his microphones of choice and signal chain and most importantly: his taste in sound. Also the IRs from the Kemper packs Bogren Digital put out earlier are included here.
What Were The Favourite Cabs And Speakers When Creating The Pack?
His favorites... are all of them. They all behave differently depending on the amps and guitars you use before them and sometimes the more surprising one will turn out to be the right one. He still find new ways of using them. His Mesa cab IR is one he uses a lot though.
Was There Any Unique Gear Used?
Microphones were the faithful Shure Sm 57, a collection of ribbon mikes, AKG 414, Tue's old favorite for guitar ADK 51S, But the main point here is : Use your ears. Don't let the letters and numbers cloud your decisions :-)
Did you know that at least 80% of a guitar sound comes from the speaker cabinet?
All software amps use impulse responses to emulate the cab. The fastest way to make your guitar sound better is to use the best sounding IRs available.
Words From Tue
"Thank you for getting my IR pack! When we put out the Kemper pack last year, we got a lot of great feedback but those who did not have a Kemper were left out. Now we can finally change that!
You can expect a bunch of my cabinets collected through a life time recorded with my microphones of choice and signal chain and most importantly: My taste in sound.
The IRs from the Kemper packs we put out earlier are included here. You find them dividede into rhythm, high gain, cleans and lead sounds.
My favorite cab is... well, all of them. They all behave differently depending on the amps and guitars you use before them and sometimes the more surprising one will turn out to be the right one. I still find new ways of using them. My Mesa cab IR is one I use a lot though.

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.
